The West Georgia Community Mobilization Initiative (West GCMI) was an ambitious four-year, $11.5 million USAID-funded project that was implemented by CARE International in Georgia from Sept
2000 to Sept 2004. As the lead organization, CARE led the overall implementation of the project while International Medical Corps (IMC) focused on on the Health and Social Welfare activities. In 2002, a second partner, Horizonti
Foundation joined the West GCMI focusing its work on the social policy activities in Western Georgia.
The overall goal of West GCMI was to contribute quantitatively to the reduction of suffering for vulnerable and isolated groups and communities, internally displaced
persons (IDPs), and local residents in Western Georgia
Overall, the project successfully identified, implemented and completed community mobilization activities in over 300 communities who in turn implemented 535 projects. Additionally the West GCMI supported over 39 local NGOs received funds through RFA process to implement sectoral projects in community mobilization, health and social welfare, agriculture and economic opportunities in the five West Georgian regions of: Imereti, Samegrelo-Upper Svaneti, Racha-Lechkhumi-Lower Svaneti, Guria and Ajara AR.
