The EU project REACT for Georgia (Resilient, Engaged, Active Civil Society for Transformation) worth of €1, 568,328 launched on 1 February 2025 and will end on 31 January 2027, according to the EU Neighbours East.

REACT for Georgia strengthens the resilience of local civil society in Georgia’s regions, enabling them to withstand current challenges and continue contributing to democratic governance and civic engagement across the country.

Furthermore, the REACT project ensures the need-based consolidation of Georgian civil society, not only within the sector itself but also across various areas, fostering collaboration between civil society, businesses, media, and ordinary citizens. Moreover, it focuses on strengthening the sector’s institutional capacity and improving its sustainability.

Aligning with the overarching goal of supporting civil society and promoting democratic values in the country, REACT has established Civil Society Hubs as functional institutional backbone of the sector in all 10 regions of Georgia. Furthermore, the action encourages community-based organisations and civic actors to build their capacities, advocacy skills and public outreach to reach out to the local communities and address the local challenges.

This action builds on the knowledge and experience gained during the implementation of previous two large-scale interventions: Georgian Civil Society Sustainability Initiative (2017-2021) and Civil Society STAR Initiative (2021-2024), focusing on strengthening civil society across Georgia, reads the statement.
