As part of the US Government's post-conflict pledge for support to Georgia, USAID will undertake a social infrastructure rehabilitation program to renovate approximately 50 badly deteriorated public schools located in minority and geographically remote areas and 7 orphanages selected to remain open as regional centers as part of the Government of Georgia's (GOG) deinstitutionalization plan for children in state care. The activity will not only improve social services to vulnerable groups including internally displaced persons (IDPs), children with disabilities, orphans, and ethnic minorities, but it will also provide short term employment opportunities in economically depressed areas of Georgia which have been hit hard by the Global Economic Crisis and loss of regional agricultural markets and thus contribute to social recovery and stability. The purpose and objectives of this program are very specific in nature. The distinct subject matter of this funding opportunity necessitates a thorough review of the official program guidance referenced at the URL provided in the contact section of this summary.
