The “EU Innovative Action for Private Sector Competitiveness in Georgia” is a joint initiative of the European Union and four UN Agencies – United Nation Development Programme (UNDP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) and International Organization for Migration (IOM).
