Abstract
The objective of the Good Governance in Georgia (G3) program was to strengthen citizens' ability to combat corruption and put into place stronger mechanisms and systems that prevent opportunities for corruption from developing. The overall purpose of the evaluation was to provide the USAID Office of Democracy and Governance (D&G) and the wider USAID Mission with information that will assist them in making decisions about on-going and related future programming. The evaluation focused on the first two components of G3: component 1, which relates to improved public administration at the federal level; and component 2, which supports a more responsive, professional, and engaged local governance. Per USAID’s request, component 3 was not evaluated. An integral part of the evaluation mission was to answer a set of three pre-determined questions, which are detailed in the body of this report. The questions concern: (1) impact of G3 on government transparency and accountability;(2) effectiveness of G3 on government mechanisms for public engagement; and,(3) sustainability and impact of G3’s capacity development for government officials.
