Lesson
Strong community support is better assured through collaboration with local groups. Even in baghs (subdistricts) where shelters were not constructed, community support was strong because of the BNGs established by the project. Community ties nurtured through the BNGs have resulted in knowledge exchange, responsibility-sharing among the herders, and efficient use of BNG revolving funds and disaster risk reduction equipment and tools. BNGs organized various activities that benefited the whole community, such as road repairs and fence-building new fences.

Small-scale infrastructure can have an added value. The construction of livestock shelters and wells increased agricultural production and reduced livestock losses for many households. The results of this activity inspired other BNGs to build disaster-resilient infrastructure using their own resources. During the project completion review fieldwork missions, local residents expressed gratitude and gave positive feedback on the benefits they received.

Changes in government could trigger changes in counterpart agencies and priorities with significant implications on program design and implementation. The national election in 2012 resulted in a change in government and the subsequent appointment of new directors and staff in Municipal Development Fund of Georgia (MDF), the project executing and implementing agency (EA/IA). Additional time thus had to be devoted to building capacity and awareness with respect to the project. Several subprojects were cancelled because of changes in government priorities.
