    The SHPPs constructed on the rivers in Armenia will get green
    passports. The process has been launched in the frames of Support to
    SHPP-relating reforms through the dialogue of public and RA Nature
    Protection Ministry for Sustainable Use of River Ecosystems" project.
    This project is implemented by 'EcoLur' Informational NGO in the
    partnership with Nature Protection Ministry - donors UNDP and GEF.

    Currently the working group consisting of 10 experts is developing a
    sample of green passport, which will include the indicators about
    hydrological, ecological, technical and social descriptors. After the
    approval of the green passport, the green passports will be completed
    not only with the officially approved indicators, but also on-spot
    monitoring findings.

    It should be mentioned that the fields of SHPPs raises concerns in
    Armenia in regard with the regulation of environmental flow,
    conservation of biodiversity and fish species, conservation of forests
    and landscapes during the construction, their impact on specially
    protected areas and application of up-to-date technologies and quality
    equipment.

    between civil society and the Ministry of Nature Protection for
    sustainable use of river ecosystems" supported by UNDP/GEF Small
