Relief efforts in Georgia
Responding to common needs and challenges, CARE works at cross-border and regional levels to support the development of civil society and reduce poverty. In partnership with local organizations, CARE works to increase the role of women in peacebuilding and supports dialogue through existing dividing lines in the South Caucasus.
CARE was part of the first aid agencies responding to the humanitarian crisis in Georgia in August 2008. Our efforts have focused on helping those who fled their homes, those who returned to damaged and looted homes and those who are struggling to make ends meet. We have offered both humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict and development aid to the poorest in rural areas of the South Caucasus.
Our work in the South Caucasus focuses on:
- support for internally displaced persons
- strengthen the capacity of women to peacebuilding
- Humanitarian aid
- good governance and development of civil society
- pro-poor economic development
- agricultural development
CARE has been working in the Caucasus, a region on the borders of Europe and Asia, since 1993.
