Adjara Solid Waste Management project, Georgia - EBRD AGM Issue Paper

While the planning process of the solid waste management project for the Autonomous Republic of Adjara is well advanced (first draft of EIA report in December 2008, public consultation meeting in February 2009), the Association Green Alternative has found several problematic concerns. Among them are the lack of information for affected communities, the absence of vital aspects in the EIA process and the disregard of potential negative social impacts of the project. These concerns should be taken into account before financing by the EBRD is granted.
