  • Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map
    Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing sector assessments and road maps to help align future ADB support with the needs and strategies of developing member countries and other development partners. The transport sector assessment of Georgia is a working document that helps inform the development of country partnership strategy. It highlights the development issues, needs and strategic assistance priorities of the transport sector in Georgia. The knowledge product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of managing transport sector development in Georgia in the coming years. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.7 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 828 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. Georgia Transport Sector ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main Assessment, Strategy, instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. and Road Map TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS.

  • Forgotten Corner an Unplanned Visit to Georgia Unearthed Signs of Vibrant Jewish Life, Even During the Communist Reign
    PRESENT TEXT AND PHOTOS BY RI A D N A I R A Questmesor ah Stalin’sForgotten Corner An unplanned visit to Georgia unearthed signs of vibrant Jewish life, even during the Communist reign. How did the “Gruzinis” of the past manage to keep a warm hold on tradition despite the chilling odds? BY Ari Greenspan and Ari Z. Zivotofsky PHOTOS Ari Greenspan f everything had gone according to plan, you would now be reading about our trip to Tu- nisia. We’d heard tantalizing anecdotes about shuls in Tunisian caves, and we wanted to see those, and other exotica, firsthand. So we did our research and mapped out a de- tailed itinerary. As an added perk, we planned to join a small film crew together with Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum, a dayan and world Jewish traveler, who is putting together a media series called “The Jew of the World.” It’s a program after our own hearts, a series that follows his travels to exotic communities to meet the last Jewish remnants and un- derstand their history. But then when the three bochurim were kidnapped and murdered and the Gaza war started, the Israeli foreign ministry warned us of concrete threats toward Israelis in Tunis. We were disappointed that Tunis was no longer on the agenda — at least not this summer — but we didn’t cancel our travel plans entirely. Instead, we took a spur-of-the-moment trip to Georgia, a spectacularly beautiful, tree-covered country in the former Soviet Union. Meat and Vodka Our visits to these off-the-beaten-track (at least for us) communities are often filled with surprises, and they usually teach us how little we know about world Jewry.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 5, 2018 For additional information: Keti Rekhviashvili, Communications Manager Phone: 032 222 74 95 Email: [email protected] USAID Zrda to Launch Small Grants Program in the Akhmeta Municipality Akhmeta, Kakheti region - On February 5, 2018, USAID/Georgia Economic Growth Office Director Veronica Lee joined Akhmeta Municipality Head Ioseb Karumashvili, to meet with local communities and launch a Small Grants Program, initiated by USAID’s Zrda Activity. The Small Grants program is designed for nine target communities of the Akhmeta municipality (city Akhmeta, Kvemo Alvani, Zemo Alvani, Matani, Sakobiano, Duisi, Jokolo, Khalatsani and Omalo) to support business development through small grants assistance to micro and small enterprises. Within the Program, Zrda plans to award up to 60 grants for agriculture and tourism development activities in target communities. At least 35% of total project value is requested as a leverage from an entrepreneur. The Small Grants Program will build upon and diversify Zrda’s ongoing activities in the communities of the Akhmeta municipality. Through its agriculture interventions, Zrda established five 100-sq. m. greenhouse demonstration plots for seedling- and vegetable production, and today local farmers have an access to agriculture development programs offered by the government and international organizations.
