    USAID AND ARMENIAN MINISTRY OF LABOR AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS SIGN TWO GRANT AGREEMENTS

    Targeted News Service

    The U.S. Embassy issued the following news release:

    On April 16, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern, USAID Armenia
    Mission Director Jatinder Cheema, and Minister of Labor and Social
    Affairs Arthur Grigoryan signed two grant agreements for USAID
    assistance to the Ministry to increase public awareness of the new
    pension system and enhance the quality of services to women victims
    of domestic violence in Armenia. Representatives of the Armenian
    government and the U.S. Mission also attended the ceremony.

    The goal of the first program is to strengthen the capacity of the
    Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, through the recently established
    Pension System Awareness Center Foundation, to conduct public awareness
    campaigns and to implement effective financial literacy projects in
    2012 related to pension system reform.

    With the second agreement, USAID will support the Ministry to assess
    the availability and accessibility of services to victims of domestic
    violence, identify existing gaps, and develop plans to ensure better
    coordination and efficiency.

    Both of the grants are part of the Health and Social Reform Assistance
    Agreement that USAID signed with the Armenian government in August
    2010.
