    Tatev rural communities in Armenia's southern Syunik province will
    receive major assistance as part of a long-term program by the United
    Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Armenia and the National
    Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia (NCFA). The two structures signed
    a Memorandum of Agreement on Tuesday to join efforts and raise funds
    for the program.

    Earlier this year the two organizations jointly elaborated a four-year
    community development program for Tatev rural communities. The program
    is comprised of thirteen sub-projects, focusing on community and
    tourism infrastructure development, and income generation. (Tatev is
    one of Armenia' key tourist attraction sites, with its 9th century
    monastery (first structure dates back to 4th c) and picturesque
    natural surroundings. The remoteness and lack of infrastructure,
    however, make life in rural communities challenging,)

    Arman Khachaturyan, CEO of NCFA, says the program budget is $1.6
    million, 20 percent of which will be funded by the UN. UNDP and NCFA
    plan to organize a fundraising event in April to attract investments
    from international organizations, representatives of private and
    public sectors, and other sources.
