Dear Maddalena,  

Sorry to hear about the cancellation of the visit, once again, we would like to express our readiness to organize relevant meetings for the delegation of Albania. Considering ongoing busy working schedule of the relevant representatives of the Ministry, unfortunately the proposed dates (October 29-30,2018) does not work for us, Mid November would be more acceptable period of time for organizing study visit.

Please confirm if the proposed period is acceptable for you.

With best regards,

Mariana

Dear Mariana,

Many thanks for your openness and help. I am extremely sorry to inform you that the dates do not work well for the Bank given to our previous travel commitments Lorena and myself (project team leaders from the WB side) are not able to accompany the Albania delegation during that time (October 3-5).

I am planning my next visit to Tbilisi on October 29-30. Would those two days be good for you?

I am extremely sorry for the inconvenience,

Maddalena

Dear Maddalena,

Once again, we would like to express our readiness to organize relevant meetings for the delegation of Albania during their visit to Tbilisi in order to share experience and knowledge on TSA program. Considering ongoing busy working schedule of the relevant representatives of the Ministry, Autumn 2018 (second half of October, beginning of November) would be more acceptable period of time for organizing study visit.

Thank you once for continued cooperation and support.

Best regards,

Maia

Dear Maia,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to follow up on the timing for the Albania’s delegation visit so that we can start arranging the logistics. We would be available to accompany them either the week of July 9^th or the last week of July or in the Fall. We expect that 2-3 days will be enough, including a one day field trip. We will follow your guidance though on the schedule and modality.

We look forward to hearing from on a date that could work for the Ministry.

With warm regards,

Maddalena

Dear Maia,

Many thanks for your availability to help coordinate the Albania’s delegation visit to Georgia, they are eager to learn from you.

In terms of timing, either Lorena (copied to this email) or myself are planning to accompany the delegation as WB task team leaders in Albania. To this end, we would  appreciate if you could please take into consideration our travel schedule and availability to travel to Georgia either the week of July 8^th, or the last week of July, or the second half of September or October.

With warm regards and looking forward to hearing from you

Maddalena

Dear Ihsan,

Thank you for your response. We express our readiness to coordinate Albanian delegation’s visit at the Ministry to share experience on TSA program. The dates will be agreed within the relevant authorities at the Ministry and informed later.

Looking forward to meeting you at the Ministry today at 14:00.

Kind regards,

Maia

Dear Maia,

Thank you for the materials from the workshop.  We really appreciate your prompt action.

On a separate note, we discussed during the meeting that representatives from the Government of Albania would like to visit Georgia and learn more about the TSA program.  The goal of the visit is to learn about:

• The policy and the legislation of this system
•  The process of application for economic aid, the social economic  assessments of the families/individuals in need
• The implementation of the PMT formula and MIS.
• Defining eligibility, the benefits and the subsidies
• What was the impact evaluation of this system
• The inspection methodology and procedures, sanctions, fraud and errors.
• Meetings in Central, Regional and Local level institutions that are responsible for the implementation of the system.

During our meeting, Ms. Nino Odisharia mentioned that this visit can be arranged, but she wanted us to discuss dates with you.  Actually, my colleague Maddalena (copied in this email) will be organizing the study tour, so can you please keep her informed?  Would it be possible to do this study tour in July?  Again, Maddalena will send more details.

Thank you,

Ihsan
