Inclusive Growth Dialogue: The role of Energy and Water Supply in Georgia
- Details
The purpose of this event was to discuss the role of energy and water supply sectors for job creation and poverty reduction, as well as suggest improvements to existing policies affecting access to, and efficient use of, scarce resources. Georgia, just like other countries of South Caucasus region, is characterized with significant energy poverty. Electricity consumption per capita in the country is only 23% of OECD average. This is due to the low incomes in the country and the fact that people cannot afford using basic energy-intensive equipment, such as washing machines, refrigerators etc.
