Goal 16 Promotes peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development and justice for all.
Armenia is known to be very productive in their agricultural aspect within the country. Most of the population work in agriculture, very self-sufficient growing potatoes, melons, fruits, and legumes. Although they do raise cattle, they are low on pork production.
November 2010 the RA Government adopted the Republic of Armenia Strategy for Rural and Agricultural Development. This allowed the population to work efficiently with their resources and find partnerships to develop organic farming and food security. One of the major goals was to conserve as much energy as they could, but still have employment for all citizens. In 2010, they also increased in imported goods that helped with the low income communities. The foreign trade increased by 14% total than the previous year, which is very good for their economy, as well as increase rate of 10.7% for food imports. With these rates they were able to sustain jobs and increase wages.
As for health equity and health resources, Armenia is still having issues in the lower income communities and report low on health visits. Hospital visits still remain very high for all the patients, and they are trying to fix that issue since it has been noted that oncology patients are the highest.
Armenia still has a plan to develop and follow many democratic principles in their country that can benefit their population. They want to strengthen the "Green Economy" idea so they can be have a better landscape planning for their resources and keep promoting equality versus monopolies.
