An assessment instrument of the study was developed by GASW in the close collaboration with Arbeiter- Samariter- Bund Georgia (ASB) and Kakheti Regional Development Foundation (KRDF) (Appendixes 1-7) and Akhmeta Social Service Agency (SSA) social workers. GASW professionals, in collaboration with Akhmeta SSA social workers conducted 14 focus groups during the period of 11-13 April, 2014. Thebaseline assessment was provided to define the most important social service needs of the Pankisi community for the development of necessary social services. This study also aimed to find out the local capacity of the community in terms of material-technical and human resources and existing services that are funded by the municipality, SSA and the nongovernmental sector. Judgment Sampling was used to select focus group participants. “Representative” villages were chosen for the study. The villages recommended by the local representativesare Duisi, Jokolo, Birkiani, Dumasturi, Koreti, Omalo, Sakobiano, Kvareltskali, Khalatsani. All ethnic groups (Kisti, Chechen, Georgians, Eco-migrants, Ossetians) of Pankisi participated in the study (in total 158 persons in 14 focus groups). The groups were designed by gender and age considerations. To be culturally sensitive the groups for men and women were provided separately for almost all ethnic groups.
