Exxon continues income generation project

Exxon Azerbaijan Operating Company LLC (Exxon Azerbaijan) continues to support the Income Generation Project in the southern refugees camps implemented by CARE International in the Caucasus (CARE).

The Income Generation Project is directed to the development of refugee communities. It includes different self-sustainable projects that help refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) develop and benefit the communities in which they live. Most of the implemented projects are agricultural, but there are many others, including water, sanitation, electrical power supply, school construction and road rehabilitation.

Approximately 15 projects were completed during September 2000 - May 2001. The refugee communities that implemented the agricultural projects were mainly supplied with seeds or seedlings, fertilizer and other necessary means and assistance from CARE. Currently there are several ongoing projects including some new agricultural projects, bath-house rehabilitation, electrical power supply, construction of an irrigation canal, mill rehabilitation, and other.*
