| Activity description: | Ministry of Transport and Communication of the Republic of Armenia has developed a complex project, in the regions – “Rural Telecentres for Internet Access and Computer Training”. The meaning of this project is, in the regions (at first in the centers of regions, later in the other residencies, too), the creation of such centers, where proper personnel will be prepared, while inhabitants can get at least elementary knowledge with respect to the making use of services, with the international outlet, for transferring data, and also the opportunity for usage of the latter. At the first stage the education and usage of services are free. Later – they will be paid. Hence, the first steps make possible to realize due to the assistance of the Canadian Government. By the dint of the Central Asian office of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), three centers in the cities have been created and successfully started up this year: Gavar, Martuni, in the Gegarqunik Region of the RA and Armavir, in the Armavir Region. World Bank also showed interest for supporting further the implementation of this project. |
