Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with the head of the Armenian
Office of the US Agency for International Development Jatinder
Cheema to discuss the standards of the new Country Development
Cooperation Strategy and the proposals of the Armenian government to
be incorporated in it.
Jatinder Cheema presented the steps the USAID proposes towards
economic growth and democratic development, as well as implementation
of reforms in the healthcare and social fields.
PM Tigran Sargsyan said the views of the parties on further cooperation
mainly overlap and noted that the Armenian government’s priorities
include ensuring economic growth, raising the effectiveness of public
management, development of democratic institutions and implementation
of reforms in the healthcare and social spheres. He noted that the
implementation of programs in the above-mentioned directions should
be targeted at the formation and development of the middle-class
in Armenia.
Upon the outcome of discussions, PM Tigran Sargsyan instructed
to create a working group comprising representatives of different
ministries that will work with USAID to work out the strategy.
