Aligning Social Investments with the Priority Needs of Armenia?s Poorest

The Armenia Social Investment Fund (ASIF) III, a community-driven development project, helped provide poverty mapping and improved local infrastructure and service provision in one-third of Armenia?s communities. Since 2006, the project has rehabilitated/created over 900 local entities, including schools, kindergartens, community centers, health care facilities, and potable water systems, benefiting almost half of Armenia?s population and improving the investment planning, management, and monitoring skills of local government officials.
