through the political system.

USAID intends to provide approximately $4-$5 million in total USAID funding, subject to the availability of funds, to Georgian organizations through approximately 5-7 assistance awards with up to a 42-month period ( 3. 5 years) of performance between 2019 and 202 3.

Assistance awards will contribute to the following project sub-purposes:
(i) empower and enable the electorate to effectively demand issues-based political party programs and policy agendas responsive to their needs; (ii) level the electoral playing field to ensure elections are free and fair competitions; and (iii) boost participation and representation of politically marginalized groups (e.g.

women, youth, minorities, persons with disabilities) to ensure their interests are heard and represented by the political system.
