Introduction
The Government of Georgia has asked the World Bank to support financing of the Third Regional
Development Project (RDP III) in Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti regions. The
proposed program of interventions will emphasize tourism and agriculture as two key pillars and
drivers of economic growth. The proposed initial project will focus on support for the tourism
sector and enabling the environment for the private sector to invest in the above-mentioned
regions. The Municipal Development Fund of Georgia is the Implementing Agency of the Third
Regional Development Project and its sub-projects.
The Ananuri complex is the one of the best places of tourist attractions on the “Military
Road”.

The considerable number of visitors, coming to the Ananuri complex every day necessitates
improving the territory around the complex, as well as arranging parking areas
and locating some
other infrastructure facilities. Ultimate goal of the sub-project (SP) is to improve the experience of
visiting tourists at the Ananuri castle, as one of the main sites located along the proposed tourism
circuit of Dusheti and thus increase the number of visiting tourists to Dusheti.
The project area is located west of the Ananuri Complex, between the Ananuri Complex and the
main road. According to the project, the whole territory must be reformed
. In particular, the
bituminous pavement will be removed,
and a recreation area and walking paths with green lawn,
illumination system, and decorative benches are planned to be made. There are 12 lampions
planned to be erected along the perimeter
.Fertile soil will be delivered to the area and placed in
green moulds, with rolling lawns to arrange above it. The paths will be done with thermally treated
granite slabs sized 15 X 30 X 2.5-3 cm. The structure of laying the slabs is given in the design
drawings. Granite curbs sized 10 X 20 cm will be used to make walking paths, while the roadway
along the bituminous concrete will be arranged with basalt road curbs sized 15X30 cm. In addition,
a car parking is to be arranged on the project site. The existing bituminous concrete pavement must
be milled, with bitumen removed and a 4-cm-thick fine bituminous concrete leveling layer, type
II, will be made. The area designated for the car parking must be marked with white perchlorovinyl
paint by adding glass balls. The parking is planned for 23 cars, 6 buses, and 4 mini-buses
; 3 parking
areas
will be reserved for disabled persons. The existing pavement of the access road to the
Complex, must be removed, formed, and a bituminous concrete pavement must be laid
. On the
pedestrian path to the Complex stairs with granite steps will be made on the reinforced concrete
base.
The whole area of the project zone is approximately 7000 m2 and is divided into 7 plots as per the
Public Registry data. Out of these plots, (i) 5 plots with the total area of 8566 m
2
(the project uses
only a part of the said area) is the property of LEPL self-governing community of Dusheti
Municipality, (ii) one plot with the total area of 174 m
