Project Information
| Project Name: | Making Markets work for the Poor in Racha-Lechkhumi |
| Project Description: | |
| During the inception period in Racha-Lechkumi, CARE proposes to identify market opportunities that can be developed into pro-poor projects, to measure the baseline socio-economic conditions in the target municipalities, and to introduce municipal planning with a DRR lens. The information developed will serve to plan detailed activities that will deliver the outcomes suggested by SDC: • Farmers and rural entrepreneurs will have acquired knowledge and capacities to make more informed and efficient use of resources and market channels; • Principles of disaster risk reduction (DRR) with emphasis on prevention and reduction of vulnerability will be applied at local levels; • The interaction between target groups and local self-government will be enhanced through institutional capacity building and participatory decision making. To accomplish these goals, CARE will adapt models successfully developed in Samskhe-Javakheti and elsewhere in each of three fields, working through and strengthening local partners and service providers to obtain sustainable results. | |
