    September 5, 2008

    YEREVAN, September 5. /ARKA/. Millennium Challenge Armenia (MCA) will
    hold new elections of the Stakeholders' Committee on September 27,
    reported Ara Hovsepyan, MCA executive director.

    The 15 members of the committee will be elected by a secret ballot. The
    term of office of the acting SC will end on September 29.

    Farmers, NGO representatives and all the interested parties approved
    today the SC election procedure, Hovsepyan said.

    "The Millennium Challenge Program enjoys popularity, being a unique
    and highly effective grant program," he was quoted saying.

    The mission of SC is to protect the interests of beneficiaries and
    make their own suggestions to program implementation.

    Launched on September 29, 2006, MCA signed a five-year, $235mln compact
    with the Government of Armenia. The document focuses on rural poverty
    reduction and sustainable increase in the economic performance of
    the agricultural sector.
