Dear Mrs. Odisharia,

I am reverting to you regarding the project to extend to Georgia a Policy Based Loan dedicated to Health and Social Protection sectors in 2018.

We discussed this project together with you and experts from Health and Social Protection department at AFD Headquarter in September, and as the discussion we had later with the Ministry of Finance on this topic was positive, we would like to move on with the identification of the needs of the MoLSHA.

Mrs. Assayag, Head of AFD representative office in Tbilisi, would be very interested in meeting you and Deputy Minister Mrs. Nino Berdzuli as well, as I understood she is in charge of Health Care and Social Affairs. If I am not mistaken, there is an other Deputy Minister, Mr. Zaza Sopromadze, but he is not involved in health and social protection issues.

The aim of the meeting is to start discussing the context and content (at a preliminary stage) of this Policy Based Loan with the MoLSHA.

I would be very grateful if you can support us in organizing this meeting. Would you and Mrs. Berdzuli have some availability next week?

I thank you in advance for your support and I remain at your disposal for any question,

Best regards,

Hugo
