In 2021-2022, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) with the support of UN Women and in partnership with the World Bank (WB) conducted the Gender Responsive Public Finance Management (GRPFM) self-assessment. The assessment is a part of the larger Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment and evaluates the degree to which Georgia’s public finance management (PFM) system is gender responsive.

This issue brief describes the facts and figures related to women in decision-making in Georgia. By visualizing data from Country Gender Equality profile (2020) and other relevant studies, the publication shows that women are under-represented in decision-making positions in the parliament, executive government, civil service, and local government.

This brief captures results of the evaluation of UN Women project “Women for Equality Peace and Development in Georgia”. The aim of the WEPD project implemented between 2013 and 2015, was to strengthen the capacity of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict– affected and ethnic minority women’s groups to address their social, economic and political needs, through joint action and advocacy.
