BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12
By Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:
United Nations Development Program (UNDP) will allocate $1 million to protect vulnerable groups from COVID-19 shocks in Georgia, Trend reports referring to Georgian media.
Georgia’s response to the pandemic has undoubtedly saved lives and it will be studied in the future as a best practice, Resident Representative of the UNDP in Georgia Louisa Vinton said.
"But in Georgia, as everywhere in the world, COVID-19 has also exposed social vulnerabilities and economic imbalances. The UNDP therefore welcomes the resolve of Georgia’s leaders to go beyond business as usual to design a recovery plan that builds on the positives and neutralizes the negatives to map out a path to a green, fair and inclusive future”, said Vinton.
Georgia is one of the first 46 countries to receive $1 million from the United Nations Development Program to protect vulnerable groups from COVID-19 shocks.
UNDP in Georgia posted on its Twitter account that the organization helps Georgia to build fair and inclusive future.
Earlier, UNDP has already allocated $20 million to Georgia to assist in the pandemic response.
