UK AMBASSADOR VISITED GEGHARKUNIK
Her Majesty\'s Ambassador to the Republic of Armenia Mr. Charles Lonsdale visited Gegharkunik marz on 18 July 2008, the British embassy reports. The Ambassador met Gegharkunik Marzpet Mr. Never Poghosyan and discussed the UK development assistance projects in the marz, particularly the “Armenia Regional Development Project” funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). The Armenia Regional Development Project (ARDEP) has been implemented since 2003 in Gegharkunik and Tavush marzes. DFID has provided each marz with £1 million for the implementation of the Regional Development Plans (RDPs) that were developed by the marzpetarans with active participation of the non-governmental sector and local communities. The RDPs were designed to contribute to the poverty reduction in those regions. Gegharkunik Marzpet briefed the UK Ambassador about the various projects implemented under RDP, particularly refurbishment of hospitals and schools, reconstruction of irrigation and drinking water systems. Mr. Poghosyan said that the success of the first RDP served a basis for drafting the 2008-2011 regional development plan for Gegharkunik. Mr. Lonsdale visited the Gavar Maternity Hospital, the roof of which was reconstructed under RDP plan, and the secondary school in Sarukhan village, which now has a heating system thanks to DFID funding. A key element of the RDP approach is the involvement of local civil society. The Ambassador met the members of local NGOs who played an important role in planning, monitoring and evaluation of the RDP projects. The NGO representatives highly valued the Armenia Regional Development Project, pointing that it enabled them for the first time to be actively involved in addressing local issues, as well as gave valuable experience of project design and cooperation with other NGOs. The local NGO network created as a secondary outcome of RDP in Gegharkunik will continue its activities after ARDEP phases out. ARDEP is finalising its activities in 2008, and currently the modalities and future funding for the roll-out of the ARDEP experience to other marzes is under discussion between the Ministry of Territorial Administration and other potential donors such as the European Commission.
