Visit to MCA-Armenia program sites in Armavir Marz





Accompanied by US Ambassador to Armenia Marie Jovanovich, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited a number of MCA-Armenia projects in Armavir marz to get a first-hand view of irrigation infrastructure-building activities, farmer and irrigation management entity support programs.

Merdzavan community was the first port of call where the head of government was shown the restored section of Lower Hrazdan’s main canal. The main canal can irrigate an area of 10000 ha. In the wake of rehabilitation work covering an emergency section of 5697m (out of a total of 59,540 m), the channel will supply water to 36000 beneficiaries in Armavir marz and Yerevan.

The Prime Minister and the US Ambassador next called to see the upgraded tertiary canal of Artimet community. Rehabilitation efforts were made in a parabolic plane to reduce water infiltration and increase efficiency of hydraulic conveyance. As a result, 180 ha can be irrigated instead of currently irrigated 150 hectares to benefit some 710 beneficiaries from Artimet community.

Then the delegation headed to local farmer Simon Jalalyan’s facility where new irrigation technologies have been installed under the from Water-to-Market activity of MCA-Armenia program. Consisting in a polyethylene-covered hothouse built on the plot of land attached to the house, the facility acts as a seedling supply center providing 8 different early and late vegetable species for field cultivation.

Wrapping up the visit, Tigran Sargsyan went to see Vagharshapat WUC, a beneficiary of MCA-Armenia program’s Irrigation Management Entity Institutional Strengthening component which supports a total of 44 WUCs and WSOs operational in the Republic of Armenia. Assistance is available in the form of management improvement schemes, financial administration and accounting programs, geographical data base development and training courses, as well as office supplies and fixtures provided to WSOs.
