RD’s announcement
The North South Road Corridor (NSRC) is Armenia's main transportation artery, key for the country's connectivity on the national and regional levels. The NSRC consists of several road sections, and the 60-km Sisian-Kajaran Road section (the Project) in Armenia's southern region of Syunik is one of them. The "Road Department" Fund, under the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia, will implement the Project.
The Project has undergone an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) according to the EBRD, EIB and ADB requirements and national regulations. The ESIA has been conducted in two stages: Scoping and Assessment. Scoping disclosure and seven consultation meetings were held in April-May 2022. Following this, the Project’s ESIA report and the relevant management plans have been prepared.
In line with the international banks’ requirements, the RD announces the public disclosure of the draft ESIA package for min. 120 days, in this particular case: from 21 July 2023 to 1 December 2023. The draft ESIA package includes the below documents that can be accessed in Armenian and English at the RD’s website:
