Improvement of the water supply systems of Shirak region settlements 1. SCOPE OF WORK Project implementation of WSS system improvement will benefit to environment and public health of about 400,000 people (households and other consumers) living in 18 towns and 92 villages through providing safe, reliable and sustainable water supply. The Project will result in improved access to safe, reliable, and sustainable WSS services managed on commercial principles and environmentally sound practices. The Project will also facilitate poverty reduction by (i) reducing the cases of waterborne diseases and costs of medical care; (ii) improving women’s routine making them free from intensive housework such as water collection, which may allow them to participate more in social and economic activities; (iii) providing safe and more susteinable water supply; and (iv) improving the households’ living in all the project towns and villages due to the availability of safe and sustainable drinking water. Similar to the original WSSP, the Additional Financing Project funds two project components which include: (i) municipal infrastructure rehabilitation and improvement; and (ii) management improvement and development which includes gender features. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARD DOCUMENTS In accordance with the ADB Environmental policy (2002), the Subproject is ranked to B category, which does not need extended EIA. According to the RA law on “Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise” (issued on June 21, 2014) and the RA Government decree on “The activities subject to expertise of environmental impact” (N-193, 30 March 1999), this design documentation, which summarizes the types of activities planned under the sub-project, is not subject to environmental impact assessment and expertise, based on the insignificant impact of the planned activity on the environment. As a B Category Project ADB Policy requires development of Initial Environmental Examination/ IEE report for each Subproject and site specific Environmental Management Plan/EMP (separate report for each of the subprojects). 3. INTRODUCTION This report is developed for the package of the Region of Shirak, RA, on the improvement of WSS Systems in Artik town and Nor Kyanq, Vardakar, Hovtashen, Mets Mantash, Geghanist villages, the design of which has been implemented by the JV agreement of HGSN and JINJ LLCs.

  • 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.

M.Vardan- yanın qeyd etdiyi «başqa dillərə məxsus olan» həmin 8-10 min coğrafi ad məhz göstərilən torpaqlardan deportasiya edilmiş azərbaycanlılara məxsusdur. ...
