Georgia donor update
Among the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent states, Georgia remains one of the most vulnerable from a humanitarian perspective, and women and children in Abkhazia and South Ossetia continue to live in emergency. However, the vast majority of UNICEF's financial requirements for the conflict zones are unmet. UNICEF appeal for 2005 for its humanitarian program is US$1.6 million, and to date less than 25% was received against the appeal. At the moment some key projects are on hold and remain unimplemented due to the shortage of funds. Yet UNICEF also has managed to make a number of key achievements and interventions despite the situation. The donor update will provide you the overview on the situation, UNICEF achievements and constraints, and our urgent funding requirements.
