Support to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in Georgia through Agricultural Development Project Goal: To contribute to poverty reduction and to youth inclusion in livelihood development for IDP families in Georgia Project start and end date: September 2013 – September 2015 Project Beneficiaries: The target beneficiaries will be 500 IDP farmers Specific information: The Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia was one of the most prosperous areas of the former Soviet Union until regional conflicts, civil war, and high levels of corruption in the government isolated much of the country’s population in poverty for the last 19 years. The August 2008 conflict further accelerated rural poverty when approximately 18,000 IDPs were created as a result of the brief conflict, adding to the 212,000 IDPs already living in Georgia as a result of previous civil turbulence.
