OSCE .Armenia Parliamentary Elections Preliminary Statement.Pdf
OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Election Observation Mission Republic of Armenia Parliamentary Elections, 6 May 2012 INTERIM REPORT No. 2 3 - 24 April 2012 27 April 2012 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The election campaign, which officially started on 8 April, is vibrant. Contestants are generally able to campaign and have been provided with free venues and poster space. However, there have been instances of obstruction of campaign activities, including two violent scuffles in Yerevan. • The OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission (EOM) has noted cases where campaign provisions of the Electoral Code were violated. These included campaigning in schools, teachers and students being asked to attend campaign events of the Republican Party of Armenia, and campaign material of some parties being placed on municipal buildings and polling stations. A business owned by the leader of Prosperous Armenia is distributing tractors in several provinces, de facto as part of the party’s campaign. As of 17 April, the police has examined or was examining 14 cases of possible electoral offences. • Preparations for the elections are proceeding according to legal deadlines. The Central Election Commission (CEC) and Territorial Election Commissions (TECs) continue to work in an open and transparent manner. Precinct Election Commissions (PECs) have been formed and are being trained. The CEC has adopted and published the main procedural rules and official documents, well in advance of election day. • The media monitored by the OSCE/ODIHR EOM are providing extensive political and election-related coverage. Before the start of the official campaign, the President and government officials received extensive coverage in the monitored media. -

Akhuryan Basin Management Area KEY WATER ISSUES
ARMENIA Akhuryan Basin Management Area KEY WATER ISSUES EEnvi ronmenPt al Pr otectioIn of IntRe rnati onal RivBe r Basin s The project is funded This project is implemented by a consortium by the European Union led by Hulla & Co. Human Dynamics KG The Environmental Protection of International River Basins (EPIRB) project aims to improve the quality of water in transboundary river basins in the wider Black Sea region and Belarus, including Armenia. One of the specific objectives is to improve technical capacities by developing river basin management plans (RBMPs) in selected pilot river basins, according to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). One of the selected pilot basins is the Akhuryan basin management area, which includes the Akhuryan River basin, located in the western part of the Republic of Armenia, and the Metsamor River basin, which is adjacent to the Akhuryan River basin. 2 Good water status The Water Framework Directive is achieved when pollution is and river basin management plans controlled and there is One of the requirements of the WFD is the achievement and sufficient flow for ecosystems preservation of good water status by managing waters in natural to function and survive. units — that is, in river basins. River basin planning follows a structured approach: finding out facts, deciding on necessary actions, making a management plan, and putting the plan into practice. An important first step is to identify significant water management issues so that appropriate solutions and measures can be developed. The impacts of human activities Human activities can lead to serious problems in terms of both water quality and quantity. -

(2) Series of Laboratory Soil Tests Were Conducted in This Preparatory Survey Stage
Chapter 4, FR 4-3-5 Laboratory Soil Test (1) Outline Two (2) series of laboratory soil tests were conducted in this preparatory survey stage. One was to the disturbed soil samples of sandy loam and sand-and-gravel obtained from the test-pits excavated in the reservoir bottom and surrounding area, of which locations are shown in Figure 4-3.4.1 and Figure 4-3.4.8, under the purpose of grasping the characteristics of impervious materials and sand-and-gravels and examining the possibility of the soil’s imperviousness being improved by adding and mixing bentonite or cement. The other was the ones conducted additionally to study the details about the imperviousness improvement by mixing sandy loam or sand-and-gravel with bentonite or cement. The former one shall be called “laboratory test phase-1” in this report and the latter “laboratory test phase-2”.

Patient Satisfaction Survey Baseline Evaluation in Aragatsotn
PATIENT SATISFACTION SURVEY BASELINE EVALUATION IN ARAGATSOTN, ARMAVIR, AND ARARAT MARZES 2008 DISCLAIMER This publication is made possible by the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared by the Primary Health Care Reform (PHCR) Project, Armenia. The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the USAID or the United States Government. Preface The Primary Healthcare Reform (PHCR) project is a nationwide five-year (2005-2010) program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under a contract awarded to Emerging Markets Group, Ltd. (EMG) in September 2005. The project’s primary objective is the increased utilization of sustainable, high-quality primary healthcare services leading to the improved health of Armenian families. This objective is operationalized by supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) to implement a package of six interventions that links policy reform with service delivery so that each informs the other generating synergistic effects. These six interventions address healthcare reforms and policy support (including renovation and equipping of facilities); open enrollment; family medicine; quality of care; healthcare finance; and public education, health promotion and disease prevention. “What impact are these interventions having?” is a question frequently asked but less frequently funded. Fortunately, provision was made in the PHCR project to address the “impact” question. PHCR developed a set of six tools to monitor progress and evaluate results. Three of these tools are facility-based and are designed to assess changes through a pre-test and post-test methodology at 164 primary healthcare facilities and their referral facilities. -
