Union-Association Agora and Czech Development Cooperation Join Forces to Promote Development of Beekeeping in Georgia

As part of the event, Petr Mikyska, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Georgia, on behalf of the Czech Development Agency (CzDA) and Director of the Union-Association Agora Tengiz Svanidze signed a bilateral agreement establishing the terms of their partnership and affirming continuous support to Beekeeping Center.

Multifunctional Regional Beekeeping Center was built and equipped by the Czech Development Agency in the framework of the project “Sustainable Development of Beekeeping in Georgia” with a partnership of People in Need Georgia, Association “Agora” and Tbilisi City Hall.

• The strategic vision of the Center is rooted in rural/urban connectivity, sustainable agriculture, and in a vision of Tbilisi as a Green City.
• Key principles of the Center are environmental appreciation, sustainable resource use and inclusive growth.
• Center’s principal vision is to be a central player in Georgia’s growing beekeeping sector.

In 2021, PIN’s focus for the extension of the project "Sustainable Development of Beekeeping in Georgia" is on targeting the organizational capacity of the Multifunctional Regional Beekeeping Center and the Union-Association Agora team with a gradual transfer from PIN to Union-Association Agora of all organizational responsibilities by the end of the project.
