The environmental concerns will Assessment be addressed through the environmental assessment and review framework agreed with the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia (MDF). Project Description The proposed Municipal Services Development Project - Phase 2 (MSDP 2) finances investments in municipal infrastructure and utility services. It focuses on urban transport, but could flexibly respond to other municipal infrastructure. It will provide (i) proceeds to MDF for financing to selected municipalities for repairing and rehabilitating municipal infrastructure and local utility services, and (ii) capacity development for MDF and municipalities through incremental administration and technical assistance programs. The MSDP 2 follows the Municipal Services Development Project (MSDP 1) approved in August 2008. It targets high-priority urban transport projects in Tbilisi and other municipalities, which were proposed for additional Asian Development Bank (ADB) financing under the MSDP 1. As available financing under the MSDP 1 is largely committed to other priority investments, a new facility is proposed. Rationale The double shocks of the August 2008 conflict with the Russian Federation and the global economic crisis undermined growth and stability in Georgia. Investor and consumer confidence deteriorated and liquidity in the banking system contracted, while infrastructure was left damaged. Investment and economic development declined and foreign direct investment slowed. This stressed the balance of payments, shrank public finances from revenue shortfalls, and increased expenditure needs. Economic growth has plunged from 10.0% in 2007 to 2.1% in 2008. The Georgian authorities responded with macroeconomic policies, but the GEL2.2 billion stimulus has limited municipal funding. Challenges in the urban transport sector are palpable. Tbilisi ii suffers from traffic congestion, and air and noise pollution. This is due to increased private car ownership, inadequate roads, and the deteriorating public transport systems including discontinuing tram and trolleybus services. About 80% of air pollution derives from motor transport. Road accidents have increased, with over 4,000 reported in Tbilisi in 2007, and a 62% increase in the number of people injured in 5 years. Therefore, the Government requested ADB to urgently support a program of investments in Tbilisi's municipal transport systems, including roads, traffic management, and public transport. The MSDP 2 will finance MDF, an effective agency, for improving municipal transport systems. The Project is technically feasible, institutionally sound, and economically viable. This new facility: (i) supports government and ADB priorities; (ii) responds swiftly to the Government’s request; (iii) complies with a mutually defined development framework; (iv) capitalizes on the proven MDF arrangements; and (v) reinforces ADB’s long-term partnership in urban development with Georgia. Impact and Outcome The MSDP 2 will improve the urban environment, local economy, and public health in urban areas. The projected outcome is improved municipal infrastructure and service delivery and better living conditions. The outputs are (i) increased quality of service, wider network coverage, efficient and reliable urban services particularly for urban transport and traffic management; and (ii) improved capacity of municipalities and MDF. Investment Plan The investment cost of the Project is estimated at $41.50 million including taxes and duties of $5.97 million; physical and price contingencies, and financing charges during implementation. Financing Plan Total Source ($ million) % Asian Development Bank 30.00 72.28 Municipal Development Fund 3.00 7.23 Municipal Governments 6.61 15.92 Central Government 1.89 4.57 41.50 100.00 Source: Asian Development Bank estimates subject to adjustments during project implementation. ADB will provide a $30 million-equivalent loan from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) hard-term facility. The ADF financing has a 32-year term, including a grace period of 8 years, and an interest charge of 1.6% per annum. iii Allocation and The Government will make the ADB loan available to MDF on a Relending Terms nonrefundable basis. It will then be passed on to eligible municipal governments as a combination of loans and grants or grants to the municipalities, which have limited or zero capacity to borrow. Established eligibility criteria for borrowing are based on the creditworthiness of each municipal government. Except as otherwise agreed, loans from MDF to municipal governments will be in lari and will be repayable in the same currency over a period of up to 10 years, including a grace period of up to 1.5 years to cover the construction period. MDF will charge 12% interest on these loans to include provisions for credit defaults, the cost of MDF administration and other operational expenses, and a margin of profit. Period of Utilization Until 30 June 2014 Estimated Project 31 December 2013 Completion Date Executing Agency Municipal Development Fund of Georgia (MDF) Implementation MDF will be both the implementing and the executing agency. MDF Arrangements has been effectively contracting, managing, and monitoring municipal projects funded by institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), German development cooperation through KfW, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the World Bank. MDF is experienced and competent, with a good track record. The Prime Minister heads its supervisory board. Since 1997, about 900 municipal

    TERMS OF REFERENCE Consultancy Service for Project Results Monitoring & Evaluation Section 1.Backgroundfor the Third Regional Development Project (RDP3) The Government of Georgia with World Bank are co-financing is implementing a US$75 million Third Regional Development Project (RDP3), focusing on Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti during the period of 2015-2019. The Project Development Objective is to improve infrastructure services and institutional capacity to support increased contribution of tourism in the local economy of the Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta- Mtianeti regions. The project aims at addressing challenges identified during the project preparation period and follows integrated approach to urban and tourism development. Through its various components the project is expected to lead to improved urban and tourist infrastructure, enhanced cultural heritage assets and increased capacity for tourism-based local economic development in these two regions. The economic benefits linked to the above are multiple, such as improved urban infrastructure, including public spaces, streetscapes and municipal roads, improved urban liveability and increased safety of movement for locals. At the same time, these investments are expected to make selected municipalities better places to visit and more attractive places to invest, promoting private investment and increasing income generating opportunities in the project area. Cultural heritage enhancements will lead to the preservation of global public goods, but are also expected to lead to increased willingness to visit/pay for tourist and increased property prices in neighbouring areas. The proposed investments are aligned with the regional development strategies, prepared with technical assistance from EU for Mtskheta-Mtianeti and by GiZ for Samtskhe-Javakheti.

  • Pre-Christian History in the Georgian Shatberdi Codex: a Translation of the Initial Texts of Mok‘C‘Evay K‘Art‘Lisay (“The Conversion of K‘Art‘Li”)
    PRE-CHRISTIAN HISTORY IN THE GEORGIAN SHATBERDI CODEX: A TRANSLATION OF THE INITIAL TEXTS OF MOK‘C‘EVAY K‘ART‘LISAY (“THE CONVERSION OF K‘ART‘LI”) Origins tales, in all of their colorful guises, at once fascinate and be- wilder1. Consider, for example, the Judeo-Christian tradition that the peoples of Afro-Eurasia are ultimately descended from Noah and his progeny, the only humans to have survived the catastrophic flood. Al- though the authenticity of the flood account may be called into question, the story nevertheless demonstrates that some ancient peoples traced their origins to a definite point in the remote past. Indeed, the historical record is replete with ethnic “Big Bangs.” Yet the historical dynamics of ethnogenesis often have been obscured beyond recognition or are en- tirely absent. Linguistic data might surrender valuable clues, but tangible contemporary evidence is largely insufficient. Even in this light, however, it would be unwise to presume that any given received tradition about ancient origins is a later fabrication. Genuine historical memories can be transmitted orally for centuries, though they have invariably been altered — accidentally and/or inten- tionally — from their primordial states. Further complicating matters is the fact that the typical story of conception was composed at a much later time when the community was already well established in its par- ticular way. Such a tale not only explained ultimate beginnings but also validated the present or even conjured a desired future. Another schol- arly predicament is rooted more firmly in our own times. Modern efforts to unveil the significance and historical underpinnings of origins tales, efforts that often reveal successive layers of embellishment and rela- tively late dates of manufacture, can “provoke” a maelstrom of patriotic outcries.
