In 2008 the Heinrich Boell Foundation, Transparency International Georgia (TI), the Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA) and Green Alternative (GA) initiated an informal coalition to monitor the implementation of the European Neighborhood Policy in Georgia. This was joined in 2009 by International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) and the Centre for Strategic Research and Development of Georgia (CSRDG).

The purpose of this report is for members of a Georgian NGO Coalition to provide an analysis of the Georgian Government's implementation of the ENP Action Plan. The intention is not to be comprehensive, but to offer analysis on those areas that fall under the expertise of the coalition members. The Government of Georgia has already provided an assessment of its own performance for the January to June period of this year and so the report will also respond to that.
The report covers strengthening the rule of law, democracy and human rights (priority one), sustainable development, poverty reduction and environmental protection (priority three) and transport and energy (priority eight).
