Dear Natia

I could receive a message from Mr. Nikolos Gagua, he underlined that the Government of Georgia is still in the discussion process regarding the request for grant, with concern regarding the policy
loan associated to the grant, questioning the timing for the technical assistance.

It is understood that the scope of a PBL and the opportunity of such PBL dedicated to Health / Social Welfare / Human Capital, will require additional discussion, in 2021.

AFD has an opportunity for approving a Grant in 2020. This Grant would be used starting from 2021. It is believed that the Grant (financing studies and TA) will be interesting to assist the government
in building the long term policies in 2021, based on gaps / needs analysis. AFD hope that it could lead to an operation in the future, but AFD is of course not requesting a confirmation of Loan, taking into account that it is not the right the timing for confirming
such a loan.

I have redrafted the letter, taking this into account the comment received. I am ready for discussing with MoF, Mohlsa and other relevant ministries.

Best regards,

Raphael.
