О ПРОГРАММЕ
: 
The EU4Sevan (Environmental Protection of Lake Sevan) Project is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and jointly implemented under a Multi-Partner Contribution Agreement by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Project is part of the EU Action “EU4Energy Efficiency and Environment” and the BMZ-funded programme “Management of natural resources and safeguarding of ecosystem services for sustainable rural development in the South Caucasus” (ECOserve). The Project’s overall objective is to enhance the environmental protection of Lake Sevan, which is the largest freshwater lake in the Caucasus Region. Lake Sevan is the most significant source of freshwater, irrigation water, aquaculture, as well as hydropower source in Armenia. Its condition has direct bearing on the region’s environmental health and Armenia’s economic potential.
With support from the EU Water Initiative Plus (EUWI+), the Armenian Government has developed the first River Basin Management Plan for Sevan basin, aimed at structuring, and improving the management of water resources at basin level in the long term. EUWI+ also conducted studies and field surveys aimed at improving water monitoring in the basin.
This Action will build on existing achievements and plans and will complement and support such interventions through five outputs:
Output 1: The water monitoring and management capacities for Lake Sevan watershed are (further) improved;
Output 2: The capacities for implementing ecosystem-friendly and water-protecting land-use and cultivation practices are improved;
Output 3: The capacities for implementing wastewater treatment, including nature-based solutions, are improved;
Output 4: Awareness and information availability for the protection of Lake Sevan is enhanced among basin communities, the private sector and other stakeholders;
Output 5: The Lake Sevan ecosystem governance is further improved.
