The program aims to help the Armenian government improve the  quality, accessibility and usability of inter-community  infrastructures and services. Infrastructure and services considered  to be public property will be financed in 55 communities of Armenia.  The program will enable the population of Armenian communities  through micro-programs to use the restored and modernized social  infrastructures in kindergartens, schools, water supply and drainage  systems, small irrigation systems, community centers, medical  institutions and other local infrastructures.
