Besides GIZ, there will be the following other Executing Entities: • National Forestry Agency (NFA), a Legal Entity of Public Law (LEPL) of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MoEPA) (Georgia). A.20. Executing Entity • Department of Environmental Supervision (DES) representing the Government of information Georgia, State Sub-Agency of MoEPA (Georgia). • Environmental Information and Education Centre (EIEC), a LEPL of MoEPA (Georgia). • Agricultural and Rural Development Agency (ARDA)1, a Non-Entrepreneurial (Non-Commercial) Legal Entity (N(N)LE) of MoEPA (Georgia). MoEPA acts as the National Designated Authority (NDA) for GCF in Georgia. A.21. Executive summary 1. Georgia’s forests play a pivotal role in securing net removal of GHG emissions, which are expected to rise by approx. 70 % to 28,690 Gg CO2eq in 2030 in the BAU scenarios. However, LULUCF sector absorption capacity is rapidly decreasing. Climate change impacts and the demand for fuelwood from rural population puts significant pressure on Georgia’s forests: up to 90% of rural households (1.43 million people) rely on fuel wood for their energy needs. This leads to forest degradation and loss of carbon absorption capacity, which is projected to decrease by five times between 1990 and 2030. The Government of Georgia therefore prioritized the forest sector in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) aiming at reducing GHG emissions by 6 million tCO2eq by introducing the sustainable forest management (SFM) on 250,000 ha of state-managed forest lands over a period of 2020-20302. 2. The project will enable the Government of Georgia to implement its transformational forest sector reform agenda to put the entire nation’s forests under the SFM framework. It will do so by supporting establishment of a nation-wide SFM system under Component 1 and in parallel, under Component 2, promoting market development for energy efficient (EE) and alternative fuels (AF)3 to address main driver of Georgia’s forest degradation, the unsustainable fuelwood consumption by rural population. Component 3, addressing potential adverse effects of the forest sector reform, safeguards the reform implementation by diversifying livelihood opportunities and strengthening local self- governance in forest adjoining rural communities. 3. The first component will help the Government put in place main building blocks of SFM at national level in the form of appropriate policy and regulatory environment, knowledge and data, as well as human and institutional capacities. At the regional level, the project will implement SFM in the three target regions of Kakheti, Mtskheta-Mtianeti and Guria. By doing so, the project will help develop an appropriate institutional structure and a business model for SFM, which will then be replicated to cover all forest areas in the country. Under second component, the project will accelerate growth of the nascent EE-AF sector in Georgia by pushing the development of supply chain and in parallel pulling the demand via consumer awareness raising, provision of financial incentives and consumer financing products in partnership with financial institutions, as well as creating conducive policy and regulatory framework for the sector in line with EU aquis, which the Government of Georgia has committed to implement. The third component will build up capacities of local authorities and citizens to participate in the sustainable management of forests and will enable communities of the target regions to benefit from diversified income opportunities by improved forest- related value chains and better access to forest-related knowledge and skills. 4. The project will cover 270,807 ha of state-managed forests in the target regions with SFM (over-achieving the NDC target of 250,000 ha).4 This will lead to the improvement of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the forests and gradual build-up of carbon stock: Broader SFM implementation will lead to a reduction of forest degradation in the range of 0.8 t biomass per ha and year (1.3 tCO2/ha/year); in addition forest biomass will increase by 1.7 t biomass per ha and year (2.9 tCO2/ha/year) as a result of direct SFM measures. Further, availability of sustainably harvested fuelwood in the target districts will increase 5-fold from 50,000 m3 up to 285,575 m3 by the project end. 1 From July 1, 2019 the official title of Agricultural Projects Management Agency (APMA) was changed into Agricultural and Rural Development Agency (ARDA). 2 Conditional commitment. 3 Alternative fuels (AF) in the context of this Funding Proposal refer to different forms of upgraded solid biofuels (USB), which can be produced from woody or vegetable material by modern processes and technologies, such as briquettes, pellets, or chips sourced from forestry and agricultural residues (hazelnut shells, wine pruning, etc.). Please refer to Section 5.3.3.1 of the Feasibility Study for the full account of available AFs in Georgia 4 Note on the project area: The total forest area within the selected forest districts is 293,824 ha.

The surface of the road is over most of the length formed by granular material, which is seriously damaged. Locally the clayey subgrade material has been recorded at the surface. Only locally at the beginning and towards the end of this road section some asphalt is still remaining at the surface in a poor to very poor condition. The thickness of the remaining asphalt has been recorded in a range from 50 to about 200mm. The subgrade is represented mainly by gravelly sandy clay with medium to high plasticity. Only at one location blocks with clay filling are forming the subgrade. The Tianeti-Akhmeta section of the Tianeti-Akhmeta-Kvareli-Ninigori road is of national importance and connects the densely populated villages with the regional center, as well as Tianeti Municipality with the Kakheti Region. Also this is the shortest road connecting with Kazbegi Municipality and Northern border of Georgia.

Belongings of the people were damaged or lost. The rains flooded yards and agricultural lands, leaving some of the affected population without main source of income. Fruit trees and vegetable gardens were also damaged. Many roads were destroyed; it became difficult for the people to get home to their villages. A lot of cattle and poultry were killed. Heavy winds, which followed the rain, unroofed several houses in Lagodekhi Municipality. Electricity lines were damaged. According to the rapid assessment conducted by Georgia Red Cross Society (GRCS) volunteers together with local authorities, 2,200 2 GRCS volunteers helping in the cleaning of the affected areas in households (8,800 people) are affected by the Tbilisi.
