Projects will strengthen the dialogue between the government and civil society by facilitating the engagement of think tanks, media, and other non-governmental institutions. These organizations will conduct issue-based analysis and share information and approaches with the Government of Georgia and within the public sphere, thereby contributing to a more informed and participatory public discourse.
