DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PROJECT WITH: A.1.1. GEF focal area/LDCF/SCCF strategies /NPIF Initiative: Proposed project is consistent with GEF climate change mitigation (CCM) focal area strategy and is designed to contribute to the achievement of CCM Strategic Objective 2 “Promote market transformation for energy efficiency in industry and the building” by promoting investment, technologies and policies for green urban lighting in Yerevan and other major Armenian cities. A.1.2. For projects funded from LDCF/SCCF: the LDCF/SCCF eligibility criteria and priorities: N.A. A.1.3. For projects funded from NPIF, relevant eligibility criteria and priorities of the Fund: N.A. A.2. National strategies and plans or reports and assessments under relevant conventions, if applicable, i.e. NAPAS, NAPs, NBSAPs, national communications, TNAs, NIPs, PRSPs, NPFE, etc.: The proposed project is in compliance with the national priorities to strengthen the economic and energy independence of the Republic of Armenia by promoting resources efficient and climate resilient growth. In particular, the project is consistent with the following national policies and strategic documents: 2nd National Communication to UNFCCC: identifies energy sector as the main source of GHG emissions and energy saving measures as the largest and most cost-effective opportunities for GHG emission reduction. Energy Sector Development Strategy in the Context of Economic Development of Armenia (2005). The strategy covers the period until 2025 and aims at addressing the following issues: contribute to sustainable economic development of Armenia and ensure energy security, including maximum utilization of renewable and nontraditional sources of energy; promotion of energy saving; and environmentally friendly energy supply. National Program on Energy Saving and Renewable Energy (2007) recognizes energy efficiency as a key means for ensuring energy security and availability. The program provides assessment of the energy saving potential in power supply, heat supply and gas supply systems in the industrial production, transportation, housing and public sectors, as well as assessment of the potential for renewable energy and measures for effective exploitation of the energy saving potential. The program specifically emphasizes the existence of potential for energy saving via improvement of street lighting systems in Armenian cities and towns. B. PROJECT OVERVIEW: B.1. Describe the baseline project and the problem that it seeks to address: Context: Modernization and beautification of Armenian cities In Armenia, 12 cities generate almost 90% of the nation's GDP. Their competitiveness and attractiveness are therefore critical to the country’s sustained economic growth. However, urban 4 GEF-5 PIF Template-November 2011 infrastructure and municipal services delivery in most Armenian cities and towns are deficient. To provide more competitive environment for economic development and adequate living and working conditions for their residents and guests, Armenian cities are actively pursuing modernization projects to revamp their urban environment.

    Mission in Armenia 29 March to 3 April 2008 June 2008 - N°499/2 Mission in Armenia, 29 March to 3 April 2008 FOREWORD Alerted by both the "Democracy in Armenia" group and the Civil Society Institute (an FIDH affiliate) to the violent repression that followed the presidential elections in this country in February 2008, the undersigned lawyers and jurist were mandated by the President of the Paris Bar Association (M. le Bâtonnier de l’Ordre des Avocats de Paris) and the International Union of Lawyers (l’Union Internationale des Avocats) on one hand and, on the other hand, the FIDH (International Federation of Human Rights). The mission visited Yerevan from 29 March to 3 April to report on the situation of the right to defend oneself and the right to freedoms in the Republic of ARMENIA following the events that took place in February and March 2008. INTRODUCTION Before considering the legal and juridical context of the mission's work, it is appropriate to recall some chronological milestones to put into perspective the current situation in Armenia and its evolution, seventeen years after the independence of the Republic of Armenia was proclaimed in the Southern Caucasus. - 21 September, 1991: the Republic of Armenia becomes independent following a referendum. - October 1991: Election by universal suffrage of Mr. Levon TER-PETROSIAN, who becomes the first President of the Republic of Armenia. - 1992-1994: Fighting in the autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh between the opposing Armenian self- defence forces and the Azerbaijan armed forces. A cease-fire comes into force on 14 May 1994.

  • Annual Report on the Activities of the Human Rights Defender in 2006
    ANNUAL REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA'S HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER AND VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN ARMENIA 2006 The present "Annual Report for 2006 on Activities of the Republic of Armenia's Human Rights Defender" has been translated and published with the financial support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) ISBN 978-99941-0-213-6 ANNUAL REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA'S HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER AND VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN ARMENIA 2006 Yerevan, 2007 Yerevan 2007 RA Human Rights Defender A. Harutyunyan In the result of constitutional amendments, Human Rights Defender's Office was mandated as a constitutional institution. On February 17, 2005, National Assembly of RA by the votes of more than 3/5 of the total num- ber of deputies elected Doctor of Law, Professor Armen Harutyunyan as a first parliamentary Human Rights Defender of RA. Human Rights Defender is an independent official, whose main mission is to prevent and restore human rights and fundamental freedoms violated by the state and local self-governing bodies or their officials. The letters of complaint, addressed to the Defender, are various and concern almost all spheres of functioning of state and local self-governing bodies. The actuality of the report is determined also by the circumstance that for the first time are sep- arated the analysis of the statutory- legal act that leads to the human rights violations and the analysis of detached provisions, as well as the shortcoming in law enforcement practices. This report aims to raise a list of questions that are peculiar to the post soviet countries and exist in our country.

  • Risk Assessment Chapter 6
    Chapter 6 Risk Assessment Chapter 6 Risk Assessment 6.1 Damage of Buildings The building damage functions for multi-story residential buildings, for low-rise individual houses and for schools and hospitals are made mainly based on the damage by Spitak earthquake in 1988. Therefore, the seismic resistance of the buildings in 1988 is considered tacitly in creating the damage function; however, already over 20 years has passed from 1988. Most building in Yerevan has been constructed before 1991 and the aging effect to the seismic resistance of the buildings is a matter of concern. Also the maintenance of the residential buildings after 1991 is said to became poor than before. The effects of these issues are necessary to be included for realistic risk assessment. The quantitative effects are evaluated by expert judgment in discussing with Armenian researchers and concluded that the damage ratio is increased 10% for aging effect and 10% for poor maintenance issue. As a result, the damage functions in Figures 5.3-17, 5.3-19 and 5.3-20 are multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the damage of buildings. 6.1.1 Multi-story residential buildings Number of heavily damaged multi-story residential buildings per grid of 250m x 250m against two scenario earthquakes is shown in Figure 6.1-1. 6.1.2 Individual house Number of heavily damaged individual houses per grid of 250m x 250m is shown in Figure 6.1-2. 6.1.3 Summary of damage of buildings 1) Damages of multi-story buildings and individual houses at each district are summarized in Table 6.1-1.

  • 2. METHODOLOGY of the SAMPLE to Conduct the Survey, a Multi-Level
    2. METHODOLOGY OF THE SAMPLE To conduct the survey, a multi-level proportional probability sample has been designed. Based on the 11 regional (marz) administrative and territorial division of RA, the sample design algorithm forms the preliminary sampling units (PSU) from the general population through the stratification method. The preliminary sampling units in marzes have been chosen by the following way: • PSU comprised 12 for Yerevan city, based on the number of district communities, • for those towns, which have more than 20000 population, separate preliminary sampling units were chosen in each marz, • small towns in each marz were grouped in one preliminary sampling unit, which was called “urban area”, • all villages in each marz were grouped in one preliminary sampling unit, which was called “rural area”. Thus, the total number of preliminary sampling units comprised 48. At the first stage of sampling the total volume of the sampling was divided into preliminary units by the proportion of the square root of the number of those households, which were involved in the given preliminary sampling units. 2001 Armenian population census results were used to calculate the mentioned proportions. Method of the proportion by using the square root was selected, as it, unlike the traditional PPS algorithm, enables to derive unbiased estimates of statistical indicators bringing to insignificant increase in variances within the preliminary sampling units on one hand, and on the other hand this approach increases the probability to select the settlements

The constitution provides for an elected president and a unicameral legislature (the National Assembly). The country has a multiparty political system. The significantly flawed February 2008 presidential election and violent break-up of ensuing protests that resulted in 10 deaths continued to fuel a political crisis that remained largely unresolved during the year and resulted in numerous human rights abuses. In April 2008 Serzh Sargsian of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) was sworn in as president, replacing Robert Kocharian. In the National Assembly, the RPA continued to dominate the ruling coalition, which decreased from four parties to three on April 27, when the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutiun) resigned from the coalition citing differences over the conduct of foreign policy. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, although some members of the security forces continued to commit human rights abuses with impunity while under the direction of civilian leadership. Authorities restricted the right of citizens to freely change their government in mayoral elections in Yerevan. During the year authorities subjected citizens, particularly those considered by the government to be political opponents, to arbitrary arrest, detention, and imprisonment for their political activities; lengthy pretrial detention also continued to be a problem.

Explanatory Memorandum .................................................................................................................. 4 Summary Following the official invitation from the Armenian authorities to observe the first election of the mayor of Yerevan on Sunday 31 May 2009, the Congress appointed an observer delegation, headed by Nigel Mermagen, Councillor in South Somerset District Council and Rapporteur to the Congress. The delegation was composed of nine members of the Congress and four members of the European Union’s Committee of the Regions, assisted by the Congress Secretariat. The delegation concluded that the organisational framework of the elections had been broadly in compliance with European standards. However, the delegation made clear that democracy does not only depend on a proper organisational framework but on highly-developed electoral conduct and democratic culture. Also, the delegation regretted those malpractices which tempered the normal conduct of the vote. It found that the political actors in Armenia should strive for a higher standard of ethics, attitudes and behaviour and that citizens should be better aware of democratic rights and duties. 1 L: Chamber of Local Authorities / R: Chamber of Regions ILDG: Independent and Liberal Democrat Group of the Congress EPP/CD: European People’s Party – Christian Democrats of the Congress SOC: Socialist Group of the Congress NR: Members not belonging to a Political Group of the Congress CPL(17)5 A.
