Chief Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)
Daniel W. Yohannes visited two MCA-Armenia sites in Armavir marz today
to review the results of the five year MCA-Armenia Program.
Mr. Yohannes visited the `Koncer' Cannery, which is one of the 225
enterprises supported by the Post Harvest, Processing and Marketing
(PPM) component of MCA-Armenia's Water to Market Activity (WtM).
MCA-Armenia support to he `Koncer' Cannery highlights how PPM supports
Armenian farmers through linking farmers to processing companies,
creating fruit and vegetable collection/consolidation centers and
through training and technical assistance. Approximately 400 farmers
will benefit from the PPM project through improved access to markets
and higher prices for their goods.
Mr. Yohannes also visited the Tsakhkunq community, where MCA-Armenia
has rehabilitated more than 2,000 km of the tertiary canal system.
Overall, the MCC has invested more than 10 million USD in Armavir marz
through its canal rehabilitation projects, farmer trainings, and other
agribusinesses activities. By the project's completion in September
2011, MCA-Armenia's investment in Armenia's tertiary canal system will
total over 14 million USD and span 90 communities. Farmers benefiting
from the canal rehabilitation projects cover 15% of project costs. To
date, projects have been completed in 25 communities in Ararat,
Armavir, Aragatsotn, Vayots Dzor and Lori marzes.
While visiting the sites, Mr. Yohannes spoke with program
beneficiaries and partners, asking questions about the program's
successes and overall impact on the communities.
