Sanitation and quality of life in Turkish villages
Turkey, 4 September 2008 – Quality of life will be improved in fourteen villages in the Southeast Turkey with the support of the Government of Turkey, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and UNDP. Studies on existing sanitation conditions have been completed in fourteen villages of Diyarbakır, Siirt and Batman provinces, and the sewage systems have been completed in three of them (Ünsaldı and Beyçayırı in Batman and Doluharman in Siirt). Sanitation sewer works are still continuing in the İkizbağlar and Beykent villages of Siirt. By the end of 2009, all fourteen villages (seven villages in Diyarbakır, four in Batman and three in Siirt) will have new sewage systems, including sewer pipelines, manholes, septic tanks and natural treatment plants.

Armenia, 28 August 2008 – The participation of local people in making funding decisions for spending in their communities has great benefits in several areas: as well as promoting active citizenship and accountability in local budgetary decisions, such a budget methodology ensures live concerns are reflected in these decisions, with tangible impact on local economic development. This method for the implementation of UNDP projects is used alongside decentralization efforts in Armenia, and most recently gave birth to three new milk collection centres in the northern Tavush region.  |
