ArmInfo. The budget of the Ministry of Environment of Armenia for the coming year will be 13 billion 138 million drams. Compared to 2026, it has decreased by 2 billion 561 million drams. This was announced by the head of the ministry, Hambardzum Matevosyan, during discussions of the draft 2027 state budget in the committees of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on November 9.
According to him, the ministry will implement a total of 6 programs and 24 events. The minister noted that the reduction in allocations in 2027 is due to the completion of several grant programs this year, as well as organizational work for COP-17. Of the allocated funds, nearly 1.1 billion drams will be grants provided by international organizations, while the remaining 12 billion will come from the state budget. Specifically, 7.1 billion drams will be allocated for forest maintenance. As part of this program, the work of eco-patrols will continue, with 5.6 billion drams allocated for their maintenance.
Of the 1,176 eco-patrol positions, 844 are currently filled.
In 2027, the agency plans to receive 1.4 billion drams from the entrepreneurial activities of several companies. 570 million drams will be allocated for the establishment of new forest lands.
