From July 7-13, 2024, the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) conducted an EDAF monitoring mission to Georgia to review the results of the Georgia – Flash Floods 2023 (MDRGEO17) operation and to collect insights on CRC contributions to the operation.
This monitoring mission, conducted by an experienced CRC staff member and supported in-country by Georgia Red Cross Society (GRCS), included a review of the progress against the planned objectives and outputs according to the operational strategy and the DREF budget to establish key achievements, challenges, and lessons learned within the scope of the DREF Operation. The mission was conducted at the GRCS headquarters in Tbilisi and included field visits to the Gurjaani and Senaki municipalities that were particularly affected by the floods. The mission included interviews with relevant stakeholder groups and beneficiaries, as well as an extensive review of secondary materials.
Learnings from this review will inform future joint monitoring missions under the Strategic Partnership, provide recommendations on possible improvements of CRC and GAC support to IFRC operations, and share impactful practices employed in the intersectoral response of the National Society. As part of CRC’s commitment to sharing lessons learned within Movement forums and advocate for broader uptake of best practices, CRC will share the key findings of this mission at the IFRC DREF Advisory Group (DAG) and Global Surge Working Group (GSWG).
