The Georgian government is launching a new programme 'State - Your Partner', which will allow individuals to receive state services and information in 81 community centers and 24 justice houses in more than 100 settlements throughout Georgia about programmes to help start or assist new business.
In these centres, citizens will be able to fill out applications to participate in state programmes that are ongoing or will be implemented in the future.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia presented the programme today and said that its goal is to encourage more citizens to begin businesses and more villagers to engage in agricultural activities.
I understand very well how much responsibility and psychological stress an individual faces when moving from a hired job to a private business. It is challenging to make the first steps and become an entrepreneur as you might face financial problems, you need knowledge, market research, etc. This creates serious psychological stress. So we must do everything to help citizens take the first steps", Gakharia said.
Gakharia added that hundreds ofw thousands of people have already benefited from different state programmes in Georgia, more than 1.5 billion GEL was issued as a loan and tens of thousands new factories have been created in the country, but 'this is not enough', he said.
All information about the programme will be available at www.programs.gov.ge.
