Community Mobilization Meetings for Rural
Development
were Held in Keda Municipality
In July 2017,
Caucasus Environmental NGO Network - CENN, together with local
partner
organization in Adjara region - Institute of Democracy, conducted
community
mobilization meetings in all 64 villages of Keda municipality in
the
framework of the European Union’s ENPARD project “Optimising the
Potential
of Local Assets for Rural Development of Keda Municipality”.
The
objective of the community mobilization meetings was to introduce the
project goals and a European model for rural development - LEADER approach
to local population. During the meetings, the application forms for
membership of Keda Local Action Group (LAG) were
disseminated.
The meetings were attended by different local
actors - local residents,
local community groups, farmers, cooperatives,
local action groups, so
called AMAGs, educational institutions, enterprises,
local authority
representatives, women, vulnerable groups, and young people.
During the
meetings, the issues of mutual interest and challenges for local
development
were discussed.
In the scope of the project, CENN
will further organise mobilization
meetings with representatives of
educational institutions, Mtirala National
Park Administration and cultural
and community service providers.
The project Optimising the
Potential of Local Assets for Rural Development
of Keda Municipality is
financially supported by the European Union and is
being implemented by
Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (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 EU is supporting agriculture and rural
development in Georgia through
its ENPARD Programme. Implemented since 2013
with a total budget of EUR 102
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 phase of ENPARD focuses
on creating economic
opportunities for rural population that go beyond
agricultural activities.
