PanARMENIAN.Net - On October 24-25, Yerevan hosted a two-day workshop
titled "Evolution Perspectives of the Social Investment Funds of
Armenia and Moldova", at the initiative of the World Bank (WB)
and RA government
The event brought together government officials from Armenia and
Moldova, experts from Georgia, Ukraine, Russia and other donors.
"The Fund's further activates should include new sectors based on
the long-term experience, tested mechanisms of project implementation
and image of a trusted social partner. This will help the communities
to establish participatory mechanisms for solving the existing social
problems, as well as implement development programs focused on creating
employment opportunities, boosting businesses, organizing community
life and improving standards of living," Deputy Prime Minister Armen
Gevorgyan said.
World Bank Country Manager for Armenia Jean-Michel Happi, in turn,
noted that USD 83 mln was allocated for the implementation of three
programs over the past 17 years.
The third phase of the program is currently in progress in Armenia.
He said that the fund's programs aim to reduce poverty in Armenian
communities due to job creation, with 850 RA communities having become
micro-program beneficiaries.
Heads of Social Investment Funds of Armenia and Moldova Ashot
Kirakosyan and Boris Popadiuc further called attention to the funds'
programs in other countries for implementation of new projects.
