ShidaKartli. The international peaceful organization
"Nonviolent Peaceforce", charity humanitarian center "Abkhazeti"
and the "Rehabilitation and Development Center Ergneti" implement a
joint project "Community Initiative Groups". The project aims to
mobilize the communities located by the administrative-division line of
ShidaKartli, identify the needs of human safety and develop the responsive
mechanisms locally.
As part
of the project, a meeting was held in village Mereti, where such initiative
group is functioning. The Mereti community initiative group unites
representatives from the following villages: Mereti, Karbi, Koshka,
Gugutiantkari and Zardiantkari. The group is coordinated by the
"Rehabilitation and Development Center Ergneti".
This
group must identify the key problems and start cooperating with the donors.
Currently
the problems are already identified: villages of the conflict zone are mostly
concerned about the irrigation and drinking water, lack of agricultural
equipment, chemicals and the migration.
Initiative
groups are set up in other villages of the conflict zone as well.
