    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.

Section I is proposed for financing under the World Bank financed First East West Highway Improvement Project. This Environmental Assessment reviews baseline information, key environmental sensitivities and provides an analysis of alternatives for section I as well as for potential future projects (sections II and III) to assist the Ministry of Economy and RDMED in planning and scheduling. The Environmental Review also identifies mitigation measures for the entire alignment.
