Under the project "Develop Advocacy Capacity of CSOs and PSAs," which is funded by the USAID Economic Governance Program, ISET Policy Institute continues its mentorship activities. The aim of this project is to enhance the capabilities of CSOs and PSAs in various areas such as policy-making, advocacy, research, and outreach so that they can actively participate in the policy decision-making process and contribute to local community development, policy design, and implementation.

As part of the project, a mentorship component has been implemented, wherein beneficiary CSOs/PSAs of the USAID Economic Governance Program develop policy papers jointly with ISET Policy Institute’s researchers. In the framework of mentorship, on May 18th, ISET Policy Institute met with the Georgian Cold Storage and Logistics Association (GCSLA) to discuss the challenges in the cold storage supply chain in Georgia and explore potential solutions to address these issues.

ISET Policy Institute and GCSLA are working on producing a policy note which aims to provide valuable insights and recommendations to inform the policy design concerning the cold storage supply chain in Georgia.
