Armenia-UN Joint Steering Committee Meeting

Joint Steering Committee meeting was held at the Government of RA marking the launch of the implementation of the Armenia-UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2026-2030.

Co-chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan and UN Resident Coordinator Françoise Jacob, the meeting signaled a clear shift: from projects to systems, from coordination to joint delivery, and from commitments to measurable results.

The meeting brought together representatives of state departments and ministries of the Republic of Armenia, heads of UN agencies in Armenia, and other state institutions.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister made a welcoming speech, emphasizing the coordination of the efforts of the Government and the UN Armenia under the Cooperation Framework and the coordinated interaction at all levels aimed at implementing strategic reforms.

Afterwards, Francoise Jacob presented the results of the work carried out by the UN in Armenia in 2025.

As a consequence of the session, the composition of four result groups was approved, which will continue their work under the relevant priorities aimed at implementing target programs within the framework of the RA-UN Armenia cooperation.

The Committee endorsed the new governance architecture and set immediate priorities for 2026-2027, positioning the JSC as the engine of alignment across government and UN partners.

With an ambitious reform agenda the focus is now on scaling impact, strengthening national systems, and mobilizing partnerships - ensuring that reforms translate into tangible improvements in people’s lives, especially for the most vulnerable.
