Narrative Description of Project: A four-day workshop was held from 27 March to 30 March, 2006 at the School of Journalists, in Tbilisi, Georgia. The goal of the workshop is to build environmental reporting skills while writing environment-related articles to be published in the newspapers after the workshop.The journalists worked side by side with senior environmental reporters while reporting on environmental subjects with the case study on the climate change issues of importance to Georgia.The local coordination was implemented by two agencies: the Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN) helped out with the issues of investigation, e.g., proposing story lines, setting up the interviews; the School of Journalism helped out with securing journalism side. It brought together about 10 young print journalists with 2-4 years of experience from the key newspapers in Georgia. Workshop participants were organized into two teams, each of which worked closely with a journalist-facilitator. The teams investigated climate change problems pre-identified by the workshop organizers (Caucasus Environmental Network and the facilitator team), going out into the field to conduct interviews and returning to review their work with the team. All stories were translated for the international trainers who acted as editors, providing one-on-one technical and substantive guidance to each participant. The workshop exposed participating journalists to approaches and experiences they are unlikely to have in day-to-day reporting at their newsrooms. Participants refined such skills as story conception, interviewing techniques, presentation of stories to senior producers and story organization. By the workshop’s end, a series of stories were substantially developed.Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment: Overall management and implementation of the Project.

monthly bulletin; Monitoring and quality control; Reporting.



1. Production and distribution of the monthly electronic bulletin “Caucasus Environmental News” and development of CENN web page and regional communication network

Since 1998, CENN has been preparing and publishing of the regional environmental electronic bulletin, entitled, "Caucasus Environmental News". At present, seventy (81) editions of the bulletin in English and Russian languages were published and distributed to around 11,000 subscribers - organizations and individuals in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Turkey, the US and Europe. The bulletin has several objectives: informing Caucasus environmental NGOs, governmental agencies, private sector dealing with environment and the general public about key



environmental issues and ongoing activities in the Caucasus; encouragement of regional cooperation; capacity building of environmental NGO sector in the Caucasus by advertising their activities broadly to facilitate contacts with international partners and donors. The bulletin is distributed via mailing lists. At present, Caucasus Environmental News is the only bilingual environmental newsletter covering all Caucasus countries, which reflects ongoing environmental activities.

2. Consolidation of Environmental Legislation of the Caucasus Countries on the web and Publication

Together with lawyers of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, CENN was coordinating the project aiming at consolidation of environmental laws and regulations in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and publication of legal acts in national, English and Russian languages on the CENN web page and as a hard copy. The objective of the project was to facilitate easy access to all kind of environmental legislation of three South Caucasus countries, which would help to increase environmental awareness, development of sustainable principles and establishment of civic society in the region.

3. Preparation and publication of the first regional environmental magazine in the Caucasus – “Caucasus Environment”

In 2002, CENN initiated the regional project aiming at publication of a quarterly regional environmental magazine – “Caucasus Environment” with has scientific, educational, popular character. The “Caucasus Environment” is bilingual (English and Russian) publication. The objective of the project is to create an independent newsstand-quality publication on environmental issues - a magazine that could educate, inspire and empower Caucasus citizens to make a difference for the environment. The regional magazine covers not only purely ecological matters, but also issues concerning the environment as a whole. These include the natural environment, social environment (the interconnection between the environment and poverty, gender issues, demography, health, historical cultural heritage, ethnography, archaeology, geopolitical issues, etc.), industry & environment, agriculture, tourism, land use, cadastre and all types of characteristics and peculiarities of the Caucasus region, defining environment in a broad sense. At present, the magazine “Caucasus Environment” represents the only modern wide-ranging publication in the region for everyone who is dealing with or interested in the environmental science and management issues in the Caucasus. The magazine is circulated in the Caucasus countries and abroad.

4. Development of wireless data communication systems in mountain regions – pilot project

In 2003, CENN has initiated and directed the project on Development of Wireless Data Communication Systems in Mountain regions. As a part of networking activities, considering development of transboundary electronic networking in the region, a pilot project was launched on development of wireless data communication system in one pilot mountainous region of Georgia (Bakuriani). The objective of the pilot project was to demonstrate benefit of wireless data communication in remote mountainous areas. The project provided opportunity for the local population, regional and local NGOs and local state authorities as well as tourists visiting Bakuriani to have access to the Internet and e-mail. This promotes fast information exchange between upland and lowland (centers) and tourism development in mountains as well as facilitates increase of environmental awareness among the local population. As the follow up of the project, in 2003, the Bakuriani Public Environmental Information Center was established, which acts as an environmental library and open house for the local population, especially for the youth and schoolchildren.

5. Creation of web databases on nature resources and environment related issues of the Caucasus region

CENN implemented the project aimed at creation of web databases in GIS system on nature resources and environment of the South Caucasus region. The objective of the project is to collect, consolidate and categorize environmental information existing in the region and develop easily accessible and flexible databases. Under this project, the database of the Caucasus natural resources are being created and uploaded on the CENN web page. The database includes the following components: Water resources (mineral and surface waters – rivers, lakes, reservoirs glaciers), Mineral resources (oil, gas, coal, non-ferrous metals, etc.), Soils, Agro climatic resources, Protected Areas, Flora and Fauna. The graphic and alphanumerical database on water resources was created by the application of ESRI’s Software ArcView 3.3.
