Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved a $25 million contribution to the UN World Food Program (WFP) to fund a school feeding initiative in Armenia. The decision aims to establish a sustainable system to support Armenian schoolchildren.
The funding, allocated from Russia’s federal budget, will cover the program’s implementation from 2024 to 2028. This long-term investment reflects Russia’s commitment to promoting food security and education in the region.
The initiative demonstrates Russia’s strategic partnership with Armenia, emphasizing its role as a key contributor to social development projects. By supporting the WFP, Moscow aligns its efforts with international goals.
The project will directly benefit thousands of Armenian students by providing nutritious meals, improving health and education outcomes. It also aims to create a self-sustaining system for future generations.
This investment highlights Russia’s broader commitment to fostering regional stability and supporting Armenia’s development priorities through targeted financial aid.
