lean Up Georgia-Phase III” Project

Awareness Raising Meetings



EAWM continues awareness raising meetings in the regions of Georgia in the
framework of the “Clean Up Georgia – Phase III” Project. The aim of the
meetings is to inform the municipalities on the hazardous waste, in
particular, chlorine/chemicals, on the territory of Georgia and its negative
impact on human health and the environment.



In September 2017, the meetings took place in Keda and Shuakhevi
municipalities (Adjara region).



Project coordinators delivered a presentation on “Pollution of the
environment by Hazardous Waste (Chlorine) and its Negative Impact on Human
Health and Environment” and discussed the threats caused by chlorine
(including cases on the territory of Georgia), utilization methods, security
measures and issues related to HW management problems, the role of the
government, prevention, etc.



Project coordinators instructed participants on the safety response measures
to be addressed to avoid similar cases. In addition, participants discussed
the negative impact of expired chemicals on human health existing in school
laboratories.



The meeting was attended by representatives from Keda and Shuakhevi Gamgeoba
(Administrative Body of the Municipalities), and subordinate administrative
units.

The meetings raised interest among participants, who expressed their
readiness to cooperate with the project. Project coordinators distributed
EAWM flyers and Emergency Response Communication Plan among the participants
of the meetings.

The project “Clean Up Georgia-Phase III” is implemented by a Consortium of
NGOs “Ecological Awareness and Waste Management”, Georgian Society of Nature
Explorers “Orchis” and “Greens Movement of Georgia/Friends of the
Earth -Georgia” with the financial support of the Swedish Government.
