Antecedentes

The Governance Reform Fund (GRF) project supports the development of an efficient public administration system with a stronger capacity of the government to implement a national development agenda that will strengthen the rule of law and improve conditions for democratic accountability.

The achievement of the above goal is ensured through the two following mechanisms:

On-demand [Consultancy] Services (ODS) - a targeted short-term policy advice; and
Capacity Development Fund (CDF) - sub-project initiatives increasingly leading to the transformational change in the institutions;

Thus, the project aims to better accommodate longer-term capacity development objectives of the national partners. (Please, see more in details: http://www.ge.undp.org/content/georgia/en/home/operations/projects/democratic_governance/governance-reform-programme.html).
