Enhancing Forest Governance and Community Livelihoods in Georgia through ENPI/FLEG Initiatives

The ENPI/FLEG program in Georgia, implemented by the World Bank, IUCN, and WWF, focuses on improving forest governance and sustainable practices by fostering cooperation among governmental institutions, NGOs, and the private sector. Key activities include capacity building, awareness raising, research on forest management standards, and studies on the socioeconomic impacts of illegal logging. The program aims to enhance public involvement and promote responsible forestry through workshops, training, and stakeholder engagement to ensure sustainable forest management and community well-being.
