General Background of Project or Assignment, Operational Context:
Following the escalation of hostilities at the end of September 2023, more than 115,000 refugees from Karabakh region arrived in Armenia. Among the new arrivals, 40% are older people and children and many vulnerable people including pregnant women, people with disabilities and others with chronic health conditions. The Government of Armenia responded by granting temporary protection status to these refugees. Under this status, the refugees are recognized as such and are provided with the guarantees applicable to refugees under national and international law, both within and outside the territory of Armenia.
In support to the Government of Armenia, UNHCR, with the support of the Resident Coordinator’s Office, coordinated the refugee response and launched the Armenia Refugee Response Plan (RRP), a joint funding appeal and response plan covering the period from October 2023 to March 2024. Since March 2024, UNHCR focused on strengthening refugee inclusion in long-term national development plans and government service provision, providing assistance to the most vulnerable refugees through its regular programmes (when not covered by national programmes) and promote integration for refugees that can do so through development plans and programmes by acting as a catalyst with development actors and international financial institutions for the inclusion of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless populations in national systems, long-term plans and budgetary frameworks. In October 2025, the Government, with the support of UNHCR and UNDP, launched the National Framework for Inclusive Livelihoods for Refugees and Host Communities (2025–2027). Finally, considering the multi-year planning of the operation as a solid framework of indicators and targets is critical to monitor progress towards performance and desirable impacts.
