    On December 15, in the UN House in Yerevan, Mrs. Naira Melkoumian,
    Executive Director of the "Hayastan All-Armenian Fund and Ms.

    Consuelo Vidal, UNDP resident representative in Armenia signed a
    memorandum of understanding that marked the start of the first joint
    project - construction of a boiler house and heating transmission
    channels for the Reanimation Department at the Nork Hospital for
    Infectious Diseases in Yerevan. The "Hayastan" Fund has already
    conducted a tender.

    "Hayastan" Fund and the UNDP have jointly provided $26000 for the
    project.

    This is not the first project the Fund is implementing in the
    hospital. In September 2006, the reanimation division was opened with
    participation of Brazilian donors. In 2005 the Fund carried out
    another project in this hospital again through Brazilian community
    funds.

    Mrs. Naira Melkoumian, in her answers to the journalists' questions,
    mentioned that the reconstruction works in the hospital will be
    launched in spring of 2007.

    Ms. Vidal noted: "This is our first joint project and we are sure it
    will not be the last one. We strongly believe that through joining
    our efforts we will be able to achieve much more in our fight against
    poverty in the country".

    The "Hayastan" Fund and UNDP collaborate also in Rural Communities
    Development Project. On October 2006, the organizations signed a
    memorandum of understanding to closely cooperate in this area.
