The Prime Minister's initiative is an excellent initiative, which actually has the potential to develop the third sector in Georgia in a healthy, correct and serious manner, said the Minister of Health of Georgia, Mikheil Sarjveladze, regarding the initiative of the government to establish a grant program for non-governmental organizations.
According to him, this initiative has his support as a citizen.
"Considering such level of views of the opposition, perhaps it is better to mention at the beginning that the Prime Minister's initiative is excellent that actually has the potential to develop the third sector in Georgia in a healthy, correct and serious manner. In fact, what is called the non-governmental sector, in this way and in this method, using this mechanism, will be best possible. That's why it's surprising, from me personally, as a citizen, to leave aside others, of course, there is a lot of support for this initiative, and I think that it is unequivocally correct and an unequivocally forward step from this point of view. It will be possible to settle many issues in the form of correct communication, which will be practically guaranteed by a new initiative and a mechanism that will be formed as a result of this new initiative. As for the opposition's assessments regarding the fact that an additional ultimatum was put forward regarding the repeal of the law, the logic is simply lost here. Actually, they themselves do not know, as a counterweight to the approval of this particular initiative, why the issue should be raised, regarding the cancellation of any law, especially since the opposition was never able to explain to the Georgian public why transparency and justice are unacceptable in the field, which is called civil sector.
I think a lot of things were said, including when the Prime Minister presented this idea, at that very moment such an attribute was announced, from which it is clear to everyone that it will be unequivocally unbiased, pure success and development oriented financing, cooperation and work. This practice is used by a number of very highly developed European states and I think that this is a good example for creating a successful experience with the involvement and use of the third sector", said Sarjveladze.
