Progress has been achieved since effectiveness on the following: • The draft National Irrigation Strategy 2025 that provides a basis for developing the legal and institutional framework for irrigation services in Georgia and future investment in the sector is complete and was approved by the Minister of Agriculture on May 23rd 2017; • Substantial progress was made in drafting the proposed draft Law on Amelioration and Water User Organizations that provides the foundations for management of local level irrigation systems. • Finalizing drafting of this law is a priority for the project to fully engage into the institutional development of water user organizations; preparing them early on for their future role and responsibility for managing tertiary irrigation systems (on-farm). These a critical next step in achieving the project development objective. • The Law On Special Procedures for Systematic and Sporadic Registration of Land Titles and Improvement of Cadastral Data Under the State Project that provides the basis for Systematic Land Registration was passed by parliament in June 2016 and Guidelines for Systematic Land Registration were adopted by NAPR in May 2017.
