Water and Health for Georgia

About this project

<p>The proposed action aims to improve the water quality in Georgia while addressing relevant environmental health issues. Improved monitoring data will be achieved by extending the monitoring network, monitoring capacities and improved data management as well as by strengthening the health and environment sector capacities to approximate EU legislation. Activities regarding the EU Water Framework Directive, the Drinking Water Directive, Bathing Water Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and others will help increase the extent and improve the quality of monitoring data and the accessibility to information to support water policy. At the same time, the actions in gender equality and social inclusion will provide better access to better quality water and public health. Development of environmental public health tracking capacities on the example of lead contamination will address vulnerable groups and national programmes for lead containing substances will ensure safety for human health and environment.</p><p>The action will require inter-sectoral collaboration between environment and health. It is implemented by a multi partner contribution agreement with Umweltbundesamt, Expertise France and Office International de l¿Eau.</p>
