The organizations stress that high level officials, including Prime Minister and Minister of Energy neglect legal procedures on decision-making over the planned project, as well as exert pressure on competent authorities and project-affected communities. They also regret that an unhidden campaign is underway against the persons and organizations critical to the Khudoni HPP project aimed at undermining their reputation. The undersigned organizations demand to return the decision-making process on Khudoni HPP project to legal framework. They also call on the Prime Minister and the Energy Minister to refrain as much as possible from lobbying the investor\u2019s interests, exerting obvious pressure on competent decision-making authorities and project-affected communities and attempting to discredit environmental organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/greenalt-live.w3i.app\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/NGO_statement_on_Khudoni_HPP_project_15-October_2013_ENG_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NGO_statement_on_Khudoni_HPP_project_15-October_2013_ENG_1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/greenalt-live.w3i.app\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/NGO_statement_on_Khudoni_HPP_project_15-October_2013_ENG_1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alternative for Development<br>Article 42 of the Constitution<br>Association \u201cDeserving Old Age\u201d<br>Association for Civil Society Development of Georgia<br>Caucasian House<br>Center for Social Sciences<br>Community Development Centre<br>Community Union Nukriani<br>Election Environment Development Centre<br>Friedrich Ebert Foundation<br>Gender Media Caucasus<br>Georgian Center for Psychosocial and Medical Rehabilitation of Torture Victims<br>Georgian Young Lawyers\u2019 Association<br>Global Initiative in Psychiatry \u2013 Tbilisi (GIP-Tbilisi)<br>Green Alternative<br>Green Line<br>Guram Tikanadze Svaneti Youth Center<br>Human Rights Center<br>Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC)<br>Human Rights Priority<br>Identoba<br>Imereti Region Scientific-Information Youth Association \u2018ASA\u2019<br>Impulsi91<br>Independent Journalists\u2019 House<br>International Center for Environmental Research<br>Kutaisi Information Center<br>Literacy Development Center<br>Meokhi \u2013 2010<br>Non-governmental organization \u201cHealthy World\u201d<br>Public Advocacy<br>Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture \u201cEmpathy<br>Rural Communities Development Agency (RCDA)<br>Safe Space<br>Saunje<br>Stepantsminda<br>StudioMobile \u2013 Accent on Action<br>Spektri<br>Svaneti Religious Society \u201cLagusheda\u201d<br>Svaneti Tourism Center<br>Teachers\u2019 Union \u201cEducation and Universe\u201c<br>The Biological Farming Association \u201cElkana\u201d<br>The Greens Movement of Georgia\/Friends of the Earth-Georgia<br>The Center for Training and Consultancy CTC<br>The Georgian Environmental Defender\u2019s Office<br>Transparency International \u2013 Georgia<br>Union of Disabled Persons and IDPs<br>Union Safari<br>Women for development region<br>Women\u2019s Initiatives Supporting Group<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 15, 2013 the Georgian civil society organizations made a statement on planned Khudoni Dam project in Svaneti, Georgia.
