During his official visit to Georgia from 22 to 25 February 2020 the President of the Congress Anders Knape welcomed the continued commitment of Georgia to decentralisation, in line with the post-monitoring dialogue in 2014, the signature of the road map of the Congress in 2015 and the latest Congress recommendation of November 2018.
He welcomed in particular the recent adoption of the decentralisation strategy by the Georgian government in line with the Congress’ recommendations following the monitoring visit of 2018. The President said the strategy would lay the ground for quality local democracy in the country. “The Congress will continue to provide its support to the Georgian authorities at all stages of the implementation of the strategy, including through its co-operation programmes, which promote, among others, exchanges of best practices, capacity building in the field and dialogue between local and national authorities” he underlined.
