Georgia has seen many changes since USAID first opened a mission here in 1992. In the 25 years since then, the American people have invested more than $1.5 billion in Georgia through USAID.

Building on this successful partnership with Georgia, the U.S. Government will dedicate its resources to new and continuing USAID programs to achieve the goal, Georgia’s democratic, free-market, Western orientation enhanced. Major development objectives include:

• Democratic checks and balances and accountable governance enhanced
• Inclusive and sustainable economic growth
• Increasingly stable, integrated, and healthy society

USAID programs will contribute to a Georgia that practices more accountable governance, achieves more broad-based and sustainable economic growth and development, and has more tangible progress reaching out to people in the separatist regions and in regions with significant minority populations.
