Subject: French readiness to finance structural projects
Importance: High

Dear Tamar,

France participated to the Donor Coordination Meeting last week and among other emergency responses took into consideration 2 projects that might be of our mutual interests :

-Infectious Disease Hospital in Tbilisi: Refurbishment. If a global project is intended including equipment and soft technology, France is interested. I would like you to consider our Treasury concessional loans in this regards.

-Health funding to Georgia to help prepare laboratory systems, activate case-finding and event-based surveillance, support technical experts for response and preparedness, bolster risk communication (USAID). I was wondering if the latter would result with a larger investment project . I will definitely get in touch with USAID albeit you can provide some insights on your side, I will be delighted to read.

Thank you very much in advance for your feedback. I stand ready for a call at any convenient time for you.

I look forward to reading from you.

Ioulia
