Within the framework of the “Socio-Economic Integration of Refugees in Armenia” (SEIRA) project, a short-term training on “Best Practices in Pig Farming” took place on July 24 at the information center of the “The Ranch” social enterprise. The training was designed for forcibly displaced people from Artsakh, who have resettled in the Goris enlarged community of the Syunik region.
Trainer Areg Sarukhanyan provided an in-depth overview of the opportunities for pig farming development in Syunik, highlighting the ongoing programs and the best practices currently being implemented. He also shared successful examples of local pig farms, which can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for the displaced participants.
The “Socio-Economic Integration of Refugees in Armenia” (SEIRA) project fosters socio-economic integration by improving food security, creating sustainable livelihoods, and empowering both refugees and host communities in Armenia, promoting resilience and economic growth through agricultural and business development.
The SEIRA project is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and implemented by the “Strategic Development Agency” NGO and the UN World Food Programme.
