NN Hosts First Steering Committee Meeting and

LAG Networking Event Under the EU Supported ENPARD Program


.
31 January 2018. Bulachauri – CENN is to organise the first meeting of the
Steering Committee established within the ENPARD project and the networking
event of the representatives of LAGs in Georgia. The event is taking place
under the ENPARD supported project “Optimising the Potential of Local Assets
for Rural Development of Keda Municipality” on January 31- February 1 in
Bulachauri Green Center.



As a result of intensive planning and implementation of the aforementioned
project in Keda Municipality, the Local Action Group (LAG) was officially
established. The aim of the forthcoming meeting is to introduce the progress
of the project and exchange information and recommendations amongst
participants.



In the framework of the two-day event, CENN will also host LAG networking
event and bring together representatives of eight LAGs from Georgia. This
networking platform will be a good opportunity to tighten the linkages and
partnership opportunities among participants, exchange feedbacks or
suggestions for further development and share experience.



The EU-supported project is implemented by CENN in partnership with the
Center for Strategic Research and Development of Georgia (CSRDG), Institute
of Democracy (IoD) and  Austrian Institute for Regional Studies and Spatial
Planning (ÖIR). The project aims at diversifying the local economic
activities, improving investment climate, and empowering competitive
agricultural and environmental practices in Keda Municipality via bottom-up
strategic planning of rural development.



The EU is supporting agriculture and rural development in Georgia through
its ENPARD Programme. Implemented since 2013 with a total budget of EUR
179.5 million, the main goal of ENPARD is to reduce rural poverty in
Georgia. The first phase of ENPARD in Georgia focused on developing the
potential of agriculture. The second and third phases of ENPARD focus on
creating economic opportunities for rural population that go beyond
agricultural activities. More information on ENPARD is available at:
