YEREVAN, APRIL 18, ARMENPRESS: The UN Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO) said it will continue its Assistance and Rehabilitation Program
in Armenia in 2007 and 2008. FAO Armenia Office representative,
Muzafar Chuder, said the current two-year program was to finish in the
middle of this year, but it was prolonged until the end of the year,
following which a new two-year program will be developed.
"The overall economic situation in Armenia has visibly improved, but
when we speak to individuals they say no matter how much the situation
has improved Armenia still needs humanitarian assistance,' he said.
He said this program is supported largely by donor countries- such as
Switzerland, USA, Holland and Japan. The ongoing program that started
in 2004 has an $11 million budget to back up Food for Work and Food
for Training projects, as well as helping rural schools.
