Abstract:: The detailed assessment of the pilot watershed areas of the Alazani-Iori and Rioni river basins includes:  Collection of detailed data on the current patterns of the use of natural resources;  Synthesis and analysis of information to identify the links between utilizing natural resources and the ecosystem services encompassing them; 5  Identification of priority community, and watershed-level issues;  Identification of the potential for sustainable use and integrated management of natural resources that will reflect positively on the human health and economic situation, as well as the on the watersheds’ environmental sustainability-  Elaboration of recommendations on the proper utilization of natural resources to mitigate the existing negative impacts on the environment, and to demonstrate integrated management of natural resources to achieve desirable and realistic objectives. Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans will be elaborated based on detailed watershed assessments, in close participation with local communities and authorities of the pilot watershed areas. Later, priority actions of the watershed plans will be implemented through a small grant program that will demonstrate the advantages of integrated natural resource management by local stakeholders, and support scaling up these models across the country.
