UNDP: rural communities have huge room for development
YEREVAN, July 10. /ARKA/. Rural communities have a huge room for
development, UNDP Resident Representative in Armenia, Consuelo Vidal,
said Thursday at the second annual conference on development of
Armenia's rural communities.
She said that Armenian rural areas are very vulnerable now because of
underdeveloped infrastructures. A third of rural population can't
develop. Vidal thinks obstacles must be removed from the road of
development.
She pointed out the necessity to develop small- and mid-scale business
in provinces and to establish partnership between state and private
sectors.
She said that FAO food and agriculture organization is implementing
programs in four border villages of Armenian province of Shirak. These
programs imply creation of cluster development system and exchange of
experience between Armenian provinces of Syunik and Armavir and
Georgia's border areas.
Vidal said that the agencies running communities should outline common
problems and goals, and UNDP will support them in solving these
problems.
The conference was launched in Yerevan on Thursday. It was organized by
American University of Armenia on the initiative of Trpanjan, the
program of development of rural communities, and Yerevan Office of
