The aim of Component 2 is to improve the availability of sustainable, green community infrastructures in the Syunik region.
This component focuses explicitly on small-scale infrastructures that are within the domain and responsibility of local (regional) communities. It excludes public infrastructures under the central government`s responsibility (such as schools, hospitals, etc.) and private operators.
Project support prioritizes sustainable and green community infrastructures. This includes infrastructures that help improve the environmental conditions of communities and contribute to the protection or sustainable utilization of natural resources, with a focus on climate protection. Supported interventions must align with EU guidelines on climate-proofing infrastructure. These community infrastructures should enhance the quality of life for the local population and promote the inclusion of disadvantaged groups.
At this stage, the project assesses infrastructure development needs based on criteria and set selection criteria. This process involves consultation with local and regional administrations, considering their development priorities as reflected in their 5-year community development plans.
