Integrating the local capacity and existing fishing practices in project design helps in improving the efficacy of project components and approaches. Local fishermen in the Northern Province are not well equipped to take full advantage of large infrastructure such as a fishery harbor. Their boats and gears do not allow for the type of large-scale multiday fishing operation that is to benefit from the harbor. Landing sites and anchorages are better suited to their immediate operation needs.

Development partners should both support and take advantage of opportunities that arise when governments are committed to reform, which should also be recognized in their country programming. the government that came to office in 2018 was strongly reform-minded. Even though Armenia suffered two exogenous shocks in the form of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and conflict with a neighboring country, reform commitment did not waver. This contributed strongly to the ultimate outcome of this program.

Lesson
When programs embody reforms that are directed at strengthening the institutional framework for the operation of key markets, such as those underlying financial markets, clearly articulating them in the program documents clarifies objectives. By not doing so, it risks the results of the program not being fully apparent due to the lengthy period for the reforms to come to fruition. By setting as outcome objectives, what the improved framework will lead to places the outcome outside the time frame of the program
