Armenia Resilience Activity

The goal of the Armenia Resilience IDIQ is to strengthen Armenia’s resilience against manmade and natural risks through a systems approach focusing on a number of interconnected key systems.

This goal will be achieved by working through three mutually reinforcing objectives that are applicable throughout the key systems: Reduce the potential impact of manmade and natural disasters through mitigation and preparedness activities to strengthen the resilience of key systems by partnering with Armenian institutions, such as government entities, civil society, and the private sector; Strengthen Armenian institutions’ ability to respond to manmade and natural disasters to lessen their impact on key systems; Build the capacity of Armenian institutions to support the country’s resilience to shocks and stresses. These key systems include:

natural resource management; disaster risk management; agriculture, food security, and food production systems; water resource management; energy systems; and the systems that support climate resilient infrastructure. The IDIQ contract provides USAID/Armenia a mechanism to order technical assistance, on an on-demand basis, and to address the needs of these key systems that will collectively and through an integrated approach strengthen Armenia’s resilience against manmade and natural risks.

Individual task orders will set forth identified requirements for specific interventions while proposed approaches should leverage the interconnected nature of the systems and reinforce work done under other task orders.
