Description
It’s believed, that Georgian Citizens should have access to innovative public services not only on central level or in the big cities but even small rural areas, therefore the Government of Georgia takes following commitments:a) Georgia’s municipalities will gradually be integrated into the e-governance system. Municipal institutions will improve their management and services by optimized and simplified procedures. Besides, they will be provided with all necessary information via direct access to various databases; b) Village Development Centres (VDC) will be built in remote villages with relatively big population. This is a totally innovative concept bringing a large number of services locally to the rural population. Specifically, VDCs will offer all services of Local Government, top services of Central Government and many critical services that are provided by the private sector.
