Concept Development for Reforms of the Adjara Water Sector

Country: Georgia

The Autonomous Republic of Adjara is located in the southwest of Georgia and has been politically and economically isolated since the early nineties. This has led to a sever deterioration of water and wastewater infrastructure and to weak local institutions.

The project objective was to assist the Government of Adjara in the development of a coherent and comprehensive long-term concept for reforms of the water sector. As part of this, the developments and major deficits of the water sector were identified and the involved stakeholders were supported in defining necessary and reasonable reform steps.

• Collection and evaluation of relevant data about the water sector in Adjara
• Identify sectoral priorities and determine reform steps
• Elaborate a comprehensive Sector Advisory Concept and Terms of Reference for further steps
