ISET

On February 19, 2014, ISET hosted a round table meeting on the World Bank’s draft of its Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) with Georgia for the FY 2014-2017. The purpose of the consultation meeting was to receive critical feedback from think tanks on the CPS to help determine the most effective country partnership strategy. The World Bank Group has already held several initial meetings with government, civil society and donor representatives.

The Country Partnership Strategy is the paper which sets the direction of the country’s development strategy in the upcoming three fiscal years. The CPS will guide the World Bank in its work in Georgia in collaboration with the government, the private sector, development partners, nongovernmental organizations, and other civil society organizations.

On January 30, 2014, ISET hosted Dr. Rognvaldur Hannesson from the Norwegian School of Economics. Dr.Hannesson gave a presentation on the somewhat unusual topic of Fisheries Economics.

Fish resources represent a form of natural capital and fishing is a potential source of wealth for many coastal, island and inland countries. Unlike other natural resources, fish do not inhabit just one place or, in this case, water reservoir, they flow from one to another depending on the season. Fish stock generally flows in a circle, returning back to its initial place after a period of time. However, no single country is able to control this process.
