|a The primary goal of the INRMW program is to improve the lives of people in Georgia by utilizing and
managing natural resources more sustainably. Target resources include water, soil, vegetation and the ecosystems that encompass them. To achieve this goal, the program aims to realize the following objectives:
1. Reduce threats to natural resource sustainability in targeted watersheds by introducing
innovative approaches and practical models of participatory integrated natural resources
management;
2. Empower local communities and authorities by promoting local governance mechanisms that
enable rural people to advocate for change that better their lives;
3. Achieve tangible results in behavior change of population that visibly illustrate the linkages
between ecosystem services and human benefits;
4. Increase capacity for integrated and adaptive natural resources management at community,
municipal, regional and national levels by developing knowledge and skills and improving
management tools within key institutions;
5. Catalyze more widespread implementation of integrated natural resource management by
raising public awareness and supporting the development of more enabling policy and
institutional frameworks.
This report provides information on activities carried out in the first and second years of the program’s implementation (Y1 and Y2) to empower local communities and authorities in selected municipalities and communities of the upstream and downstream watershed areas of the Alazani and Iori River basins. |
