The BAS Programme in Georgia was established in 2003 with funding from the European Union (EU). Further funding has been provided by the Early Transition Countries Fund (ETC), Canada (CIDA), Taipei China and most recently by the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund. To the end of 2008, BAS in Georgia has undertaken a total of 437 projects with 430 small and medium enterprises (SMEs), engaging 168 consultants.
The BAS Programme in Georgia has also undertaken a number of market development activities, including 13 training events promoting the development of SMEs and the local consultancy market.
In 1998 the TAM Programme started its operations to support local small and medium enterprises in Georgia and since then has utilised some of the world’s most experienced business leaders in projects to advise companies on how to modernise their management practices and improve turnover and productivity at no cost to the company itself. A total of 20 projects have been completed in a wide variety of sectors and industries. Each company was individually screened to assess eligibility for TAM Assistance and in its final stage was assessed against objectives agreed at the start of the project.
