This report was prepared under the mandate ‘Analysis of the National Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) in Georgia’ commissioned for the UNDP project ‘Modernization of Vocational Education and Training (VET) System Related to Agriculture in Georgia’. The mandate includes three larger fields of inquiry, namely an analysis of the Georgian AKIS actors and linkages including a visualization, the identification of assets and gaps in the current system, and recommendations on how to improve.

The objective of the research is to provide infrastructural view of AKIS in Georgia by describing its main actors, linkages between them and coordination mechanisms in place. The research also looks at the assets and gaps of existing system and provides recommendations for further development of the system.
