- Details
Along with a recent interview by a Japanese journalist on regional economics and the attendance of a Japanese student in the Class of 2018, ISET is broadening its Japanese experience with a visit to Tokyo.
On 5-6th October, ISET-PI researcher Maka Chitanava took part in a workshop entitled 'Policy Framework for Inclusive Growth in Central and West Asia', organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Tokyo. The workshop was aimed at discussing issues related to inequality and inclusive growth in Central Asia and the South Caucasus (CASC) countries, with particular reference to important factors that affect the design of policy frameworks aimed at promoting the creation of 'good jobs'; jobs which are well-paid, secure, and productive, and therefore contribute to achieving the inclusive growth objective.

- Details
Facilitating cooperation among Georgia’s smallholders is one of the main focuses of the ENPARD project, of which ISET is a (small) part. ENPARD has been active in Georgia since 2013, and its work has been extensive and its efforts invaluable. An evaluation effort coordinated by the ISET Policy Institute has uncovered some interesting facts and figures from comparative analysis between 2014 and 2015.
Implemented by four NGO consortia since January 2014, in its first year ENPARD supported 82 cooperatives, with a total of 775 members (37% of whom were females), while in 2015, ENPARD endorsed a further 118 coops made up of 1180 members (34% of whom were females).
