Workshop in Georgia: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in various countries including Georgia underline the need for veterinary services throughout the world to respond to this highly contagious disease. Georgia has implemented HPAI emergency offices and established a national contingency plan against HPAI. The workshop will train the functioning of these offices through practical exercises in order to react adequately and timely to an outbreak of Avian Influenza.

Rural Development Project in Georgia

The objective of this project is to improve the productivity and profitability of the private agriculture sector. This would be achieved by facilitating the access of Georgia’s mainly small and medium-scale farmers to commodity supply chains, improving the competitiveness of agri-business and the associated supply chains and strengthening the capacity of selected agricultural and financial institutions serving private sector agricultural market activity.
