USAID Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator for Europe and Eurasia
Roberta Mahoney arrived in Armenia on April 30 on a four-day working
visit, during which she met with representatives of the Armenian
government, private sector, partner organizations and the Diaspora.

The parties discussed U.S.-Armenia bilateral relations, USAID
assistance programs in the areas of democracy, economic growth,
health and social reform, and Armenia’s development challenges.

Ms. Mahoney visited several USAID-supported projects in Yerevan,
including the nearly established Microsoft Innovation Center and the
Women’s Support Center which provides services for victims of domestic
violence and their families.

SDAA Mahoney’s visit highlighted USAID’s nearly two decades of
strong partnership with Armenia. The U.S. Government will provide $27
million assistance to Armenia this year aimed at reducing poverty,
improving rule of law, providing better access to health care and
social benefits, and strengthening private sector and infrastructure.
