water policy based on situation analysis, local public-private
cooperation experience and international practice.

reached a new haven in economic reforms. We asked the World Bank to
provide consultancy on a number of fundamental problems, including the
strategy of drinking water supply management.
The head of government further noted: It can be stated that the
government s recent initiatives have been quite productive considering
that we have ensured a 22-hour daily supply in Yerevan, first of all,
thanks to the efforts of international operators.
With reference to capital investments made in communities and the
problem of proportionate regional development, the Prime Minister
emphasized: It should be noted that no investment had been made since
last century s 60-70s while estimates pointed to the need of USD 1.7bn
in this area. Only recently we made some investments aimed at
developing the existing infrastructures.
Wrapping up his statement, the head of government thanked all those
organizations having assisted the government with the the management
of water supply system in Armenia.
Based on the findings and recommendations formulated during the
seminar, all water policy-related proposals will be summarized and
