- Details
Hosted and moderated by ISET Policy Institute’s Salome Gelashvili, Acting Head of the Agricultural and Rural Development Policy Research Center, the German Sparkassenstiftung Southern Caucasus and Ukraine (DSIK) have recently developed a presentation looking into their Climate Risk Pattern Analysis in Georgia. The event offered an overview of DSIK’s efforts into improving the resilience of farmers and entrepreneurs to climate change shocks in rural areas. The workshop moreover discussed the German funded project (Promotion of rural finance for sustainable MSE development in the South Caucasus and Ukraine), which aims to strengthen economic participation and financial services in rural areas. This project contributes to the sustainable improvement of living conditions and the reduction of rural flight, while further heightening resilience to exogenous shocks such as the effects of climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic.
