We are committed to providing direct assistance to Georgia, in support to the Government of Georgia's poverty reduction and economic growth programme, working closely with the World bank and the EU.

DF1D's proposed direct assistance to Georgia over the next three years will amount to £6.75 million.

We also contribute to multilateral assistance to Georgia. For example in 2000 we contributed £1.7 million through the EU, £0.3 million through the UN and £0.8 million through the World bank.
