Why did the Youth Bank come to Armenia?
• Regional priority for Eurasia Partnership Foundation – project piloted in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.
• National Youth Survey, 2006 – showed biggest problems of rural youth is lack of employment, skills and access to education and leisure opportunities
• Lack of practical application of skills, no money is trusted to youth to manage
• Lack of motivation to participate in local processes, sense of apathy among rural young population
• Lack of youth-to-youth approach in development projects
• Availability of partners readiness and willingness to pilot the project
