Georgia

Georgia has become a familiar partner country of Slovakia in the field of development cooperation. SlovakAid has been present in Georgia since 2008. Georgia has achieved the biggest progress among EU Eastern Partnership countries regarding the EU integration process and implementing reforms. The aim of Slovak development cooperation is to support Georgia’s development through use of Slovak experience and expertise in transition and the reform process. It will also focus on assistance in gradual building of trust and support of direct dialogue between Georgia and separatist territories. Georgia is also a country that offers the possibility for stronger involvement of the private sector in development cooperation.

For the period of 2019–2023 Georgia is among SlovakAid programme countries, and this will be reflected in development cooperation conditions.

Since 2020, a development diplomat has been working at the Slovak Embassy in Tbilisi.
