Good morning Ketevan,

I was calling you this morning because I wanted to ask you if you could send us as well the
draft law on mental health.

Also, would it be possible to receive all the documents as soon as possible? In order to prepare the disbursement and to be able to disburse by the end of June as asked by the Ministry of Finance
, we would need to have all the documents today if possible. This would enable us to launch the process on Monday.

Sorry for the time constraints and thank you very much for your availability.

Please let me know should you need any additional information.

Best regards,

Valentina

Dear Ms. Gabunia, Dear Partners,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am pleased to inform you that the 70M€ credit facility agreement related to the tranche 3 of the Social Welfare PBL was signed last Friday with the Ministry of finance.

We target a disbursement of the funds by the end of June 2020 if possible to accommodate the needs of the Ministry of Finance. To do so, it would be necessary to receive the implementation report
as June 2020 about the completion of the triggers mentioned in the matrix by June 10th, together with the supporting documents (please see attached the previous report (without the supporting documents as the list was quite long) sent for the disbursement
of funds in 2019).

I would like to know whether you expect to be in a position to submit the requested report by June 10th and if you have any question related to this process.

We are at your disposal to exchange and follow up the progress on the different components of the program.

I thank you in advance for your feedback.

With best regards,

Gaëlle

Dear Ms. Gabunia, Dear Partners,

I would like first to thank you for your reactivity and availability last week to conduct the requested meetings. As a result of our discussions, I am pleased to share with you an updated version
of the matrix for 2020 (in track change and clean) that takes into consideration the current context. I would like more especially to draw the attention of Ms. Goginashvili on the two triggers added in relation with the current epidemic.

As you will see, in addition to the objectives to be achieved by December 2020, we have specified what is more especially to be achieved by June 2020 as it is the expected date for the disbursement.
Therefore, this year we should receive an implementation report in June and the final one in December.

We would be grateful if you could review the proposed matrix and share your comments and feedbacks as soon as possible, so that we can have a finalized and agreed document
by the end of this week. I apologize for the short delay, which is due to the necessity to accelerate AFD’s internal process in view of a disbursement in June. Each department can send us its feedback separately, we will take care of consolidating your
comments into the matrix.

I thank you in advance for your feedback. My colleague Valentina and I remain at your entire disposal within the next days for any questions or discussion that would be necessary.

With best regards,

Gaëlle

Objet : AFD - Social Welfare PBL - Tranche 3 - Appraisal process for 2020

Importance : Haute

Dear Ms. Gabunia,

I hope this message finds you and your colleagues well and in good health in this challenging time.

I contact you today as in the crisis situation Georgia is facing, AFD is willing to contribute to the efforts made by the Government to mitigate the negative economic, social and health impacts, in the short term as well
as in a longer term. In this context, we have been in contact with MoF which requested AFD to increase the amount of the 2020 Social Welfare PBL from 20 to 50M€. AFD positively replied to this request.

In the same time, we think it is important to adapt the 2020 PBL matrix (please see the current version attached) to the crisis situation. This means that we have to work with you and your teams on the matrix to be adopted
for this year in two main directions: (i) we need to have a good understanding on the feasibility of the current measures that are already included in the matrix and (ii) we think it is necessary to include some measures related to management of epidemic risks,
based on the recommendations made by WHO in its last report on Georgia’s capacities to implement International Health Regulations  (https://www.who.int/ihr/publications/WHO-WHE-CPI-2019.13/en/).

As we fully understand that the whole Ministry is currently facing an unusually important work load, we would like to be as efficient as possible in this work and would like to propose the following organization to discuss
the new matrix:

-
1 working meeting with Ms. Barkalia and Ms. Nino Jinjolava to review the measures of the pillar 1 (disability and children in street situation)

-
1 working meeting with you and Ms. Ketevan Goginashvili on pillar 2 (efficiency of healthcar system, mental health and IHR implementation)

-
1 working meeting with  Mr. Tsotskolauri, Mr. Simonishvili and Mr.
Peikrishvili on pillar 3 (IDPs reltated measures).

All the meetings should be organized through conf- or video-call and should include Mr. Nicolas Le Guen, AFD project manager based in Paris. Please feel free to indicate me if you would prefer to put in place another
organization.

Depending on your availability and the availability of your colleagues the meetings can be organized between March 24 and April 1st to allow then AFD to move ahead with its internal appraisal process based
on the updated version of the matrix and to be able to disburse the funds in due time.

I thank you in advance for your feedback and your cooperation.

With best regards

Gaëlle
