YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: The International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD) has released $8.7 million for
restoration and construction of 43 irrigation systems across Armenia
between 2001 and 2004. Some $2.3 million of that money was utilized in
the first eight months of this year providing around 10,000 hectares
of lands and orchards with effective irrigation.
Reconstruction of some other irrigation systems continues at the
moment and when accomplished they will give water to another 11,500
hectares of land.
IFAD has also given money for a major repair of a 6.1 km long section
of a road connecting Voskevan and Barekamavan villages in Tavush
province, expected to be over by the end of September. IFAD will
also release funds for repair of the two other sections of the road
to companies that will be announced winners of a relevant tender to
be announced later this year.
