Synopsis (short abstract) The FIRST Programme is a strategic partnership between FAO and the European Union (EU), acting as a broker between those who want change –the Governments–, those who are willing to support those efforts with additional funding –like the EU– and those who can provide their expertise and technical assistance, like FAO. Through the services it provides to governments in setting the conditions for investments to achieve impact, FIRST adds value to every euro invested. From Ethiopia to the Pakistan and from Fiji to Niger, FIRST supports governments in identifying national priorities and addressing context-specific bottlenecks, so that the conditions are set for sustainable agriculture to blossom and work for nutrition, health, welfare, economic growth and stability.

    In 1991, the European Union (EU) became the 161st Member of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), marking an institutional breakthrough: it was the first time that FAO welcomed a Member Organization. The EU–FAO partnership has since been sound and growing, as evidenced by the upward trend of the EU’s voluntary contributions1 in recent years. This has enabled FAO to work extensively across the globe and in those regions where assistance is most needed.

    The text discusses the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the Republic of Armenia and the European Union, emphasizing its significance in enhancing cooperation in various domains such as law, human rights, business, environment, and education. The agreement, effective since March 2021, aims to modernize Armenia by aligning its legislation with EU norms and fostering collaboration in the field of agriculture.The document outlines objectives described in CEPA, such as facilitating policy understanding, enhancing administrative capacities, promoting modernization and sustainability, and improving competitiveness. The report is aimed at analysing Armenia's legal, policy, and socioeconomic environment for CEPA implementation, identifying gaps, and providing recommendations for alignment.The project comprises three main components: legal analysis, agricultural policy analysis, and socioeconomic data analysis. The legal analysis aims to identify CEPA provisions related to agriculture, assess the current legal framework, and make recommendations for regulatory changes. The agricultural policy analysis evaluates key policies and provides recommendations for future CEPA implementation. The socioeconomic analysis assesses the impact on the agricultural sector and explores opportunities to enhance competitiveness, promote development, and increase trade flows.Due to the broad scope of CEPA, the report focuses solely on the agricultural sector and acknowledges the potential for policy adjustments by the Armenian Government to address emerging challenges.
