In April and May of 2018, a series of peaceful demonstrations dubbed "the velvet revolution" led to a change in political power in Armenia, with the new Government promising wide-ranging reforms. Recent elections have solidified the political transition and demonstrated confidence in the new Government to deliver on promises of reform. Despite macroeconomic progress and structural reforms implemented during the last decade, growth has been weak and unevenly distributed in the country, and a rising state debt has put pressure on the budget, hindering the implementation of national social safety nets and driving many Armenians to emigrate in search of economic opportunities elsewhere. Although the country has made significant progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in areas such as maternal and child health, access to safe and reliable water supply, and improved sanitation in urban areas, more effort is needed to reduce poverty and food insecurity. Food insecurity affects 16 percent of the population in Armenia and is primarily an issue of access, which is exacerbated by poverty, gender inequalities and geographical factors. Malnutrition is a concern, evidenced by high rates of stunting for children under 5, while overweight and anaemia are also prevalent, particularly among women of reproductive age. Lack of data is a major challenge to addressing malnutrition in Armenia and more effort is needed to expand the evidence base in support of nutrition-sensitive and targeted activities.
