    In the immediate aftermath of the conflict in Georgia, the European Commission has provided humanitarian assistance and started working on a comprehensive assistance package, which will be The package will cover the period of 2008-2010 and be subject to review based on the pace of recovery and evolution of the Georgian economy.

    The main source of the funding is a mix of programmed funds under the ENPI envelope and crisis instruments, such as the Instrument for Stability, ECHO – Humanitarian Aid and ECFIN grants for Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA). The package also includes the costs for the EU (ESDP) Civilian Monitoring Mission in Georgia covered by the CFSP budget.

    • promoting external trade and improving the investment climate; regulatory reforms and Education
    • strengthening social reforms in health and social protection; rural and regional development

    In 2007 and 2008, the most sizeable programmes have been those supporting reforms in public finance management and criminal justice sectors, technical support for the implementation of the ENP AP and economic restructuring efforts in breakaway regions as part of Confidence Building Measures. In addition under the Neighbourhood policy, Georgia has also benefited from a number of thematic, regional and other assistance programmes.
