Project or context description
The “Water and Health for Georgia” project, funded under the EU Green Connectivity Programme for Georgia, aims to improve water quality in Georgia, while strengthening environmental health risk management. It is structured around two Specific Objectives (SO):

The action combines three interdependent components:
