Georgia is an important U.S. ally in the war on terrorism and a gateway for energy resources from the region to Europe and beyond. Since the Rose Revolution of 2003, the Georgian government has carried out a number of democratic and economic reforms aimed at raising the living standards of its citizens. With the support of the U.S., other members of the international community, and the commitment of Georgia’s leadership and people, Georgia can become a vibrant, free-market, and stable democracy. Towards this aim, the USAID program in Georgia focuses on good governance and the rule of law, economic growth and energy security, health, and education.
