The British Council starts a 3-year program to support the disabled
in Armenia. The program will focus on local administrations,
representative of the Yerevan office said.
According to the preliminary polls, the main problems of the disabled
in Armenia are the availability of schools and public buildings,
as well as employment opportunities.
"According to official statistics, 6% of Armenia's population has
disability to some extent, but the data provided by the Armenian
NGOs shows it is even higher - about 10%," Inessa Muradyan said,
addressing the third forum of village communities being held in Jermuk.
In addition to Armenia, the program will also be conducted in Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Jordan and Lebanon.
In Armenia, the program partners are the Ministry of Labour and the
Ministry of Territorial Administration.
"Under this program, we plan to hold trainings for the representatives
of state agencies, local governments and the media. We plan to start
the project in 2-3 regions," she said.
