Specific objectives were: (1) To stimulate rapid growth of rural enterprises with a comparative economic advantage and strong linkages to poor primary producers and rural people seeking improved employment opportunities; (2) To provide an investment instrument and associated funding which would respond to the need for rural equity finance; and (3) To further develop the capacity of the financial sector in Armenia to respond to needs for small and medium credit products.

The goal of the Farmer Market Access Programme (FMAP) was to improve the economic and social status of poor rural people in Armenia. Specific objectives were: (i) to stimulate rapid growth of rural enterprises with a comparative economic advantage and strong linkages to poor primary producers and rural people seeking improved employment opportunities; (ii) to provide an investment instrument and associated funding which would respond to the need for rural equity finance; and (iii) to further develop the capacity of the financial sector in Armenia to respond to needs for small and medium credit products. Programme target groups were the actually or potentially economically active among the following primary target groups, identified as the rural socio-economic categories with the highest incidence of poverty: (i) subsistence and semi-subsistence farmers, in particular those willing to move to more commercial farming; (ii) the rural unemployed, underemployed and self-employed, including those in rural urban centres; (iii) the landless; and (iv) poor rural women, especially those who are household heads. 1510998097. The Programme was implemented from between 2008 and 2013, with a total cost of US 34.8 million allocated along two technical components that aimed respectively at (i) improved access to financial services, in turn composed of the support to the Rural Finance Facility (RFF) and to the Fund for Rural Economic Development in Armenia (FREDA); and (ii) improved rural infrastructures (RII). 1510998098. Programme design started in 2006; the final Project Design Report (PDR) dated November 2007, shortly after the approval by the Executive Board. The Financing Agreement (FA) was signed in January 2008, and the FMAP became effective in May 2008. Original completion was projected for 30 June 2013, but was extended to 31 December 2013, and closure thus to 30 June 2014. The Project Completion Mission was conducted in February and March 2014. 1510998099. Under component 1.1, FREDA was established as venture capital institution investing in rural agribusiness companies through which support could be provided to small companies and their rural suppliers that are crucial for the development of strategic rural investment chains. This approach was highly innovative for Armenia, new for IFAD (at least in the sub-region), and risky. This should be seen as a very laudable effort of the GOA and IFAD to diversify the range of products and services made available to the target groups. 1510998100. By the end of 2013, FREDA had invested USD 3.15 million (AMD 1 275 million) in nine such companies and had granted five loans worth USD 0.93 million (AMD 376) to investee companies. Companies into which FREDA invested showed generally good performance and improved their procurement from raw material suppliers (farmers) on average by more than 200%, their exports by more than 100%, their sales by about 50%, and their employment by about 40%. Most companies changed their market orientation since FREDA invested: on average, the ratio between exports and domestic sales changed from 1:2 to 2:1 with and through the FREDA participation.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.
