Dear David,

Thanks for your mail...

From our office, usually I making meeting agreements with Deputy Ministers, but unfortunately I am not in the country right
now.

I think it would be good, if GGI office will call directly to Mr. Sopromadze secretary and ask regarding changes, it is important
that Secretary and DM is aware regarding the meeting.

Contact details are following; 2 510021 #1501 or mobile  599434645, secretary name is Natia. I think it will be good, change
meeting as early as possible, because things I know from my experience, DM calendar is always busy few days in advance )).

I will be back next week in the office and in case of any support… please let me know.

Have a nice coming weekend holiday,

Best Wishes,

Dear Tamta,

My sincere apologies but it turns out the 17th is a very complicated day with multiple schedule conflicts.  Does the DM have any availability on the 19th?  We can meet with him anytime that day.  Thanks for your understanding.

I have not heard from George, but David Stonehill has stated that he is free on either the 17th or the 19th.  I think you can proceed with finalizing a meeting with the DM at any time on either of those days.

Thanks for your assistance,

Alexander,

It looks like the 16th is out, because of USG holidays.  Wednesday of that week is an Implementing Partners meeting.  David and George, what about the 17th or 19th?  Do you have any limitations on your availability on either the 17th or 19th?  If there are
any problems from your side, please inform Alexander ASAP.  For my part, I am available at any time on either of these two days.

Dear Alexo,

I know that David Stonehill is tied up then, as well as I, with our staff meeting in the AM, and the beginning of our in-house work planning in the afternoon.  During the rest of the week, I know that David Stonehill has continuing obligations to the delegation
that is here from USAID/Washington, and I will be occupied with our draft work plan preparation. The following Monday, in the afternoon, will work best for me, and possibly for David Stonehill.

Could you ask the DM whether he is available on the 16?

Thanks,

David

Dear Alexander,

I am David Smith, COP for the Good Governance Initiative, just recently launched.  I am now in Tbilisi, doing a first round of meetings with various partners.  As you will see from the emails below, George Khechinashvili has suggested several introductory meetings
for us.  David Stonehill, my COR, will be arranging a meeting with DM Sopromadze.

I want to know, however, when it might be convenient for you and me to meet?  Please let me know by return email.

Best Regards,

David

Hi David,

Congratulations with the launch of GGI and thank you for introducing David Smith. David, welcome back to Georgia!

As for the meeting in MoLHSA, probably the most appropriate deputy minister will be Zaza Sopromadze, who is in charge of Health portfolio. Before meeting with the deputy minister, I would also recommend to meet with our Health System Strengthening Project (HSSP),
which is ending in September.

Dear Tamara and George,

Please allow me to introduce our new Good Governance Initiative (GGI) Chief of Party, David Smith.  He worked in Georgia previously (2001-2004) so he knows the lay of the land notwithstanding all of the changes Georgia has experienced in the past decade.

I am in the process of setting up meetings with GOG officials to guide the Year 1 workplan and we need to include the MOH.  Can you identify the appropriate person (Deputy Minister?) and help set up the introductory meeting?  George, I'm hoping you can also
attend the meeting and introduce David since you've been so involved in this component.

Thanks,

David (Stonehill)
