December 23-25, 2021 – The EU-supported Tsalka LAG hosted 2 days self-evaluation workshop.

The first day of the workshop was dedicated to the presentation of the first Tsalka LAG self-assessment report and the discussion of a 6-month work strategy. In the second part of the meeting, Tsalka LAG members developed a second self-assessment report form and presented the LAG’s future activities.

The purpose of the Tsalka LAG workshop was to exchange project achievements and challenges, information or recommendations, and to plan and agree on future activities.

The meeting was a good opportunity to set new goals, plans, and activities. In 2022 Tsalka LAG will offer many interesting and important opportunities to the locals of Tsalka and will contribute to the engagement and empowerment of the local population.

The project ‘Local LEADERs Embrace Sustainable Development in Multi-Ethnic Tsalka Municipality (EMBRACE Tsalka)” aims to reduce rural poverty and improve living conditions in Tsalka municipality, addressing economic, social, and environmental concerns by improving agricultural competitiveness, promoting sustainable management of natural resources, and building climate-resilient rural economies and communities. “EMBRACE Tsalka” is implemented under the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD) by EU’s partner organization CENN, in partnership with the Georgian Farmers’ Association (GFA) and German partner organization – Institute for Rural Development Research (IfLS).
