ArmInfo. In 2019, Armenian communities in the form of subventions will receive approximately 5 billion drams.
As recalled in the press service of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development, since the beginning of this year, the procedure for granting subventions has been revised. If earlier community programs were fully financed from the state treasury, today the community is obliged to take part in financing the program. "According to the new order, the government and the community are jointly funding local development programs. Now the community decides which program should be implemented as a priority," the ministry said. Thus, since the beginning of 2018, when implementing infrastructure programs, 40% of its cost is funded by communities, 60% - by the government. In the case of social value programs, the government, and 60% finance 40% by the communal budget. During the current year, the Interdepartmental Commission for the consideration of community applications for subventions from the submitted 230 applications approved 181. The total budget of 181 programs amounted to 6 billion 200 million drams, of which about 3 billion 450 million will be co-funded by the community, 3 billion drams will be contributed by the government and 300 million drams will make private sector financing. As of today, 1 billion 240 million drams were allocated to finance 114 programs in 2018.
