Georgia is a country with a population of 4 million, which is at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. For some fifteen years now, this former Soviet bloc country has been engaged in major economic and political reforms, which have helped to modernize the country.
However, its geo-strategic environment is sometimes a source of instability, particularly given the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the 2008 Russian invasion, followed by an embargo. Georgia also suffers from a number of socioeconomic weaknesses, which have been exacerbated by the international financial crisis.
The country consequently needs to find the resources to achieve economic stability. Georgia can bank on the boom in tourism and an agricultural sector with strong potential, while taking advantage of its strategic position between the hydrocarbon producing areas of Central Asia and Europe.
AFD has been providing support to Georgia since 2012 for “green and inclusive growth,” and opened its office in capital city Tbilissi in 2017. These projects have focused on urban and rural development, infrastructure, governance and renewable energy. AFD supports the country via sovereign and non-sovereign loans and European grants under the Neighbourhood Investment Platform (NIP) – East.
AFD's work in Georgia is directly attached to the Eurasia regional office in Istanbul.
