By Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launches USAID Economic Governance Program in Georgia, Trend reports via Georgian media.
As reported, this is the five-year program to help Georgia design and implement transparent, evidence-based economic policies to improve its business and investment environment.
Meanwhile, through the program, USAID will partner with the government of Georgia, business associations, and civil society organizations to facilitate strong public-private dialogue.
The program involves providing technical assistance to the government of Georgia to ensure evidence-based policymaking that accounts for the needs of all stakeholders.
According to USAID, this program will ensure Georgia's private sector is represented in the policymaking process.
Notably, USAID will continue to facilitate public-private dialogue to ensure that regulations are well-suited to the conditions of Georgia’s private sector.
The Economic Governance Program also supports business associations and civil society to drive Georgia’s reform processes through research and advocacy.
As the leading development agency of the US government, USAID supports Georgia to build the capacity to finance, plan, and implement its own solutions to development challenges
USAID has worked in Georgia since 1992, supporting the country’s transformation into a developing democracy that is increasingly integrated into Western political, security, and economic institutions.
Over 30 programs of USAID stimulate inclusive economic growth, develop democratic governance, enhance energy security, and foster social inclusion.
