Against this background, the project aimed to support the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to achieve targets defined in the Georgian Strategy for Agricultural Development of improved food security and higher competitiveness, effectiveness and sustainability of the country’s agriculture.

    The project supported the development and rollout of a NAITS based on open source frameworks (to avoid present and future licensing costs), using modern digital technologies to minimize costs and provide the utmost flexibility, in compliance with the IT strategy of the MEPA. In parallel, the project deployed equipment for the intended users of the software and developed their capacities. As a result of project activities, the MEPA and NFA have the capacity to identify, register and track livestock animal health prevention and response measures. This was achieved through the design and development of electronic individual animal identification, registration and traceability software, which was tested through a number of pilots. A wide range of capacity development activities were undertaken, including training of slaughterhouse and NFA field veterinarians. In addition, the project successfully engaged in cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experiences with other countries in the region, in particular Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    Enhancing agricultural development in Georgia - GCP/GEO/001/EC 2017

    Agriculture has always been an important part of the economy of Georgia. However, until quite recently the agriculture sector has been neglected, and this has deepened chronic problems, leading to very low productivity and underutilization of resources. Since 2012, the Government has been taking steps towards promoting agricultural development, and alleviating rural poverty through the implementation of the Strategy for Agricultural Development in Georgia. One of the prerequisites to improving the competitiveness of the agriculture sector is to enhance policy-making and develop the capacities of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and its agencies.

    Strengthening Capacities to Implement Agricultural and Rural Development Strategies in Georgia - GCP/GEO/012/AUS 2023
    Also available in:

    In rural areas of Georgia, there are disparities in living conditions and access to essential services in comparison to urban areas. The growth of cities and the trend of out migration of rural populations, particularly youth, exacerbate these problems. There are also discrepancies between the labourconditions of men and women in rural areas of the country, because women tend to have limited access to opportunities, equipment, technology and land. This project was designed to enhance agricultural productivity, address gender disparities and improve access to services in rural areas by supporting the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MEPA) to implement the Strategy for Agricultural Development 2015-2020 and the Rural Development Strategy 2017-2020, both of which employ integrated approaches to rural development.
