The FINANCIAL — Many parts of Georgia still suffer from irregular water supply, with a significant impact on lives and livelihoods in the towns and villages affected.
Now, with EU support, the taps are beginning to run again, delivering clean water to homes and businesses, improving living standards and contributing to regional development. In its latest feature story highlighting the impact of EU cooperation with its Eastern Partners, the EU Neighbours East project speaks to residents and businesses, as well as officials involved in the efforts to upgrade infrastructure.
The second phase of the Water Infrastructure Modernisation project is funded by the European Union, with a grant from the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) and a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), contributing to the refurbishment and upgrading of municipal water facilities in Georgia, according to EU Neighbours East Info.
“We welcome the European Union’s efforts to contribute to the regional development of the country by financing vital projects that aim increase the living standards of the citizens of Georgia,” says Makvala Berishvili, from Oni, in western Georgia, whose family hotel business has been transformed by the now reliable supply of water.
