irrigation systems as part of the MCA-Armenia Irrigated Agriculture
Project infrastructure activity. The contract was signed by MCA-Armenia

stable water supply to approximately 8,800 hectares of farmland in
41 rural communities throughout Shirak, Tavush, Gegharkunik and Lori
marzes. The eight gravity schemes are: Kaps, Mantash and Tavshut
(Shirak marz); Getahovit-Lusadzor and Berd (Tavush marz); Vardenis
and Argichi (Gegharkunik marz); and Amrakits (Lori marz).

The consultant will also prepare the designs for the 8 gravity
irrigation systems and supervise the construction works. The contract
value in AMD is equivalent to USD 955,200, spanning a period of
39-months.
