The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has tendered the Sustainable Inclusive Growth in Mountainous Armenia (SIGMA) project in Armenia (Preparatory Phase and Phase 1, 2022-2026), delivered jointly by DAI and AM Partners. The project focuses on areas at higher altitudes in Northern Armenia, which face significant poverty due to their over-reliance on low-productive subsistence farming, with the view of supporting a diversification towards higher-value services and products and new markets. The overall objective of the project is: Poverty and inequality in mountainous areas are reduced thanks to higher incomes and employment opportunities through the environment and climate-friendly, inclusive rural market systems. The project follows a Market Systems Development (MSD) approach to support private sector development and growth in selected sectors. The Preparatory Phase started in December 2022.
