Working with OCO Global, a renowned foreign investment advisory firm will broaden Georgian investment attraction areal on a global scale, said CEO of Produce in Georgia agency Mikheil Khidureli, Trend reports via Georgian media.
"The partnership with Produce in Georgia agency is exemplary of United States Agency for International Development (USAID’s) approach under its new 2020-2025 Country Cooperation Development Strategy guiding its assistance to Georgia. Over the next five years, USAID will increase its support for private sector innovation, investment attraction, and linkages with lucrative markets, helping Georgian firms earn higher revenues and create higher-paying jobs across the country," he said.

That includes efforts to ensure that Georgian firms have access to lucrative markets, diverse sources of investment, sustainably-managed natural resources, and a workforce trained to meet the needs of the labor market.
As the leading development agency of the US Government, USAID supports Georgia to build the capacity to plan, finance, 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
More than 35 USAID programs strengthen Georgia's resilience to malign influence, consolidate democratic gains through enhanced citizen responsive governance, and enable high-value employment through increased economic growth.
