€46.1 million in EU funds covered 47 projects implemented by more than 170 CSOs operating all over Georgia across various sectors:

• Human rights & gender equality: €8.6 million
• Democratic participation & media: €8.0 million
• Business development & vocational training: €7.9 million

More than two-thirds of the €46.1 million in EU funds allocated to CSOs between 2019 and 2024 provide direct services and aid to people in Georgia in areas like assisting vulnerable groups, vocational training, entrepreneurship, social services, culture and environmentally friendly measures.

The remaining one-third of the funds are used by organisations to monitor, promote, and collaborate with the government on human rights, EU standards adoption, gender equality, and decentralisation.
