The UNDP and fund "Armenia" signed a memorandum of mutual understanding
today in order to combat poverty in Armenian villages. The two
organizations agreed to combat poverty with joint efforts.
"A number of projects are being realized for the development of about
30 villages near the borders of Armenia. At present we are working
on financial support of the projects", said UN Resident Coordinator
in Armenia, Consuelo Vidal.
According to head of pan-Armenian fund "Armenia" Naira Melqoumyan,
rural poverty will be reduced only if the peasants are given the
possibility to get rich. And this is possible provided the community
structures support them. "We need not build a house for them; we must
show them ways to earn money", Naira Melqoumyan underlined.
