On February 1 in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs the Foreign Minister
of Abkhazia Sergey Shamba had a meeting with the "Norwegian Refugees
Council” (NRC) international humanitarian organization representatives
Mr. Peter Kostogryz who was appointed as new organization’s regional
director for the Caucasus, as well as the regional NRC manager madam
Ana Povrjenic. The meeting was held within the framework of Peter
Kostogryz’s familiarization visit to Abkhazia.
During
the meeting madam Povrjenic told the Minister about the organization’s
projects planned for 2010. So, with financial assistance from the UNHCR
the NCR continues with the project of building houses for beneficiants
from the Tkuarchal, Ochamchira and Gal districts. This project provides
for building of new houses as well as repair of the houses where
beneficiants already live. 85 houses are to be repaired in 2010. The
organization also plans the "small hothouse farms” project aimed at
rendering assistance to beneficiants within the framework of the house
repair project. The carpenter's workshop in the city of Gal working
with the NRC assistance is to be attracted for acquiring necessary
construction materials. With a view of giving jobs to the local young
people NRC intends to open a school to the carpenter's workshop to
train young people in professions with the best job opportunities in
the republic at present. The project will involve Abkhaz State
University lecturers and experts.
The organization also plans to
repair three comprehensive schools with preliminary endorsement by the
Ministry of Education of the Republic of Abkhazia. In 2009 NRC repaired
three secondary schools in the villages of Bagriap, Baslakhu and Gup,
and repaired partially #10 school in the city of Sukhum.
NRC
continues to consult local population on legal matters in the city of
Gal. Basically citizens inquire about the documents package for
receiving the national document proving identity.
The Norwegian
Refugees Council representatives thanked for organizing the meeting,
stressing that the Abkhazia’s authorities are always ready for a
dialogue with humanitarian organizations.
