Project Description

In the context of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) and harmonization of food safety measures with EU legislation, Georgian agribusinesses and the dairy sector in particular will require substantial capacity building to boost competitiveness and the efficiency of value chains. Due to the increasing exposure to competition from EU products, all players along the dairy chain in Georgia will need to raise the safety and quality standards of their products and differentiate them in national and export markets. The overall aim of the Project is to improve the safety, hygiene and efficiency standards of Georgia’s dairy products and support commercial farmers to remain competitive in light of the DCFTA through capacity building and promoting better organization at production level, in order to attract new investments.

The Agribusiness sector is a substantial component of the EBRD Country Strategy for Georgia. This project is part of the Private Sector for Food Security Initiative, whose priorities include improving food safety and quality standards, especially in order to facilitate integration with EU markets (and specifically for the signatory countries of the DCFTA, such as Georgia).

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
