The MoENRP co-financing letter was signed on 3 May 2017. It refers to the total co-financing amount of $34.75 million with NEA 20-year O&M costs for hydrometeorological monitoring equipment of $23.16 million that originally included above all 4 new mini radars to be purchased with the GCF funds. For the first submission to GCF on 5 June, UNDP and the GoG explored opportunities for reducing the total GCF budget request. Based on the consultations with MoENRP and NEA, the government reduced its request for hydrometeorological monitoring equipment, removing the 4 mini-radars from the proposal. As a result the total O&M costs under the NEA co-financing were reduced by the amount corresponding to the O&M for the 4 mini radars ($39,000 x 4 radars x 20 years = $3.120 mln). $3.120 mln were excluded from co- MOENRP 12 778 000 34 750 000 12 778 000 18 852 000 3 120 000 financing and from O&M estimates. Therefore, the total 20-year O&M costs for equipment were estimated as $20.04 million. The equipment will be purchased by Year 2 of the project; Therefore disbursement of the NEA O&M costs will start from Year 3 of the project. Therefore, 5-year NEA O&M costs ($ 5.01 mln) were included in total MoENRP co-financing reflected in the FP (US$ 12.778). 2. NEA co-financing also included 20-year data management costs of $5.88 mln; out of these 7-year data management costs ($2.058 ) were counded as co-financing occuring in project period; the rest 13-year data management costs were counted as O&M outside of the project period.

Herewith, we confirm our commitment to participate in the implementation of community resilience structural measures of the project with high risk reduction potential through co-funding construction, commissioning and supervision, including environmental compliance supervision. Our co-financing of the given activity is USD 7 271 730 during the whole implementation period of the project (2018-2023) that includes the cost of implementation of a number of community resilience structural measures of the project with high risk reduction potential (Please refer to Annex to this letter for the list of locations to be funded and implemented by MRDI). In addition to above, the MRDI as one of the major partners and stakeholders of the project will actively participate in developing multi-hazard risk reduction plans for 11 river basins envisaged under the project, through providing its experts advice on priority structural measures and feasibility studies of these plans. We would like to thank the GCF and UNDP for the continued support in addressing current and future climate challenges in Georgia.

Georgia’s agricultural sector plays a key role in the country’s economy. Georgian farmers are going to fulfill a principal role in providing one of the fundamental needs of society: a safe, secure, and affordable food supply. This underlines the importance of the relationship between climate change impacts on agriculture and food security. During last decades negative consequences of climate change have drastically reduced agricultural productivity. Increasing frequency of natural hazards, makes overall adaptation to climate change in agriculture a priority on national level, focused on developing relevant Climate Smart Agriculture and Disaster Risk Reduction measures. Establishment of early warning system is vitally important for us. In its Intended Nationally Determined contribution/INDC (in frames of UNFCCC Paris Agreement), Georgia declared that “For the adaptation of agricultural sector to the expected climate change, wide range of measures are planned.
