ABOUT: 

The programme "Management of Natural Resources and Safeguarding of Ecosystem Services for Sustainable Rural Development in the South Caucasus" (ECOserve) is part of the wider German support in the priority area "Environmental policy, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in the South Caucasus". The objective of ECOserve is to improve the conditions for the sustainable and biodiversity-friendly use of natural resources in the prevailing land-use systems in the South Caucasus, with a special focus on energy security for the rural population. The main target groups of ECOserve are state and private groups of resource users in rural areas of the South Caucasus, especially farmers, shepherds, state forestry enterprises and rural households that use fuelwood or manure as a source of heating energy. In Armenia, the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures (MoTAI) is the lead executing agency, with the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv) and the Ministry of Economy (MoEc) as implementing partners. In Armenia, ECOserve focuses on the dominant land use forms such as sustainable pasture management as well as sustainable energy in rural areas.
