ArmInfo. Forest plantation work has been completed in the region of
Chambarak settlement of Armenia’s Gegharkunik region.
As the State Employment Service Agency told ArmInfo, 110 residents
of Haygut, Dprabak and Dzorvank settlements received a temporary job
from 22 to 30 November. This job provided them with a daily salary at
the rate of 1400 drams. Moreover, the employees got an extra payment
at the rate of 3500 drams each. For the period of implementation of
the temporary employment programme, the dwellers of these villages
planted 375,000 trees in the area of 150 Ha. Total of 51,7 mln drams
were allocated for the programme fulfillment under support of UNDP
and the "ATP" charitable organization.
This initiative is important for Chambarak as the highest unemployment
indicators in Armenia are fixed here. Moreover, the indicated
settlements are deprived of forest territories.
