The ISET Policy Institute is a founding member of the Economic Policy Advocacy Coalition (EPAC), supported by USAID’s Governing for Growth (G4G) project. This initiative seeks to support the creation of an enabling business environment through public and private dialogues.
EPAC unites a total of 33 organizations, including business associations, think thanks, and non-profit institutions that contribute to Georgia's economy and civil society. "For every society, it's very important to be organized. It doesn't help to have educated people or even oil and gas. If you are not organized, resources will be wasted and people will go away to find something else to do. This coalition will bring people and organizations together around the issues that matter"- said Eric Livny in an interview with Rustavi 2.
Held on September 15, 2015, EPAC foundation ceremony was attended by more than 100 guests, including deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Irma Kavtaradze and Deputy Minister of Finance Lasha Khutsishvili.
