YEREVAN, September 18. /ARKA/. The Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) Armenia will announce the launch of large-scale construction, said MCA Executive Ara Hovsepyan.
The project will kick off next season after MCA finishes the Rural Road Rehabilitation and Irrigated Agriculture programs.
Hovsepyan pointed out the fund’s regular activities in the past two years.
“This August we put into operation irrigation systems in Abovyan, Arevshat, Lanjarat and Griboedov communities. The 4.5km long system will supply these four communities with water,” the MCA Executive was quoted saying.
MCA also plans to finish reconstruction of the 2.5km long Getap-Agi road.
The RA Government has signed an agreement on allocating $50mln for reconstruction of rural roads (with a total length of 300km).
Millennium Challenge Account-Armenia (MCA-Armenia), a State Non Commercial Organization established by the Government of Armenia, is responsible for overseeing the transparent implementation of the Compact signed between the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation and the RA Government.
on March 27, 2006 the Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a five-year, $235.65 million Compact with the Government of Armenia. The Compact is focused on one goal: the reduction of rural poverty through a sustainable increase in the economic performance of the agricultural sector. Armenia plans to achieve this goal through a five-year program of strategic investments in rural roads, irrigation infrastructure and technical and financial assistance to improve the supply of water and to support farmers and agribusinesses.
On September 29, 2006 the Compact officially entered into force.-–0--
