    World Bank to allocate $11m to Azerbaijan

    The World Bank is expected to allocate a $11 million loan to
    Azerbaijan shortly. The funds will be earmarked for improving the
    social plight of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs and relevant
    micro-projects.

    The WB project manager Helen Hamilton has visited Baku several times
    to work on developing the new project. It will be forwarded to the WB
    board of directors for approval shortly.
    During Hamilton's visits, she discussed and agreed with the Azeri
    side on starting the implementation of the new project.

    The World Bank disbursed $20 million as a main loan and a $10 million
    additional loan later under another project, "Rehabilitation of freed
    territories", implemented in Azerbaijan from July 1998 until December
    31, 2004. The goal of this project, executed by the Agency for
    Restoration and Rehabilitation of Areas, was to assist in settling
    and improving the living conditions of those displaced as a result of
    the Upper Garabagh conflict.
