Dear Milena,

Thank you for the information.  I am happy to hear that the pilot is going well and the involvement of the team is not an issue.

Unfortunetely This week is a pretty busy week for me and I will not be able to meet.  Either you can meet with Nutsi and Deprtment staff without me or we can schedule a meeting next week for May 20th.

Thanks, Tamuna

Subject: progress of the pilot in Adjara

Dear Tamuna,

Last week I travelled to Adjara together with USAID (Mediko) to monitor the progress of the social model pilot. We visited 2 health care facilities, talked to teams and even observed one functional assessment. In general were happy to see that the medical facilities are well involved, teams are well trained and have a good approach to the claimants. It seems also that the feedback from the claimants on the assessment instrument is positive and they appreciate the additional information received on their entitlements. At the same time, as the pilot evolves we could see also issues that need to be discussed such as:

The role and the content of the social needs assessment, the link with the work of SSA;

Categories of disabilities that are being reached;

How easy the process it is for the claimant;

Other organizational aspects.

I would like to kindly request to meet you together with USAID, share our observations and discuss how to reflect the learning in the piloting process. I will call you tomorrow to follow up on this message and try to find time that suits us all, hopefully this week.

Kind regards,

Milena
