With 125 member states, a further 18 states holding observer status and offices in over 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
Giorgi is working on the following project - Capacity Building of Georgian Police. The aim of the project is to further contribute to the reforms undertaken by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) to become a more professional, accountable and effective law enforcement institution. To achieve this objective, the project assists the MIA in integrating the principles and concepts of effective communication techniques into its policies and operational practices. In particular, this project is targeting mid-level managers of the Patrol Police and the Neighbourhood Police. The project is implemented in close cooperation with the US Embassy in Georgia.
Giorgi has an MA in International and Comparative Commercial Law from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) of the University of London. He was previously Executive Assistant for the Speaker’s Advisory Board of the Parliament of Georgia, and Director of the Charity Humanitarian Centre ‘Abkhazeti’ (CHCA). At the time of the 2003 JS Fellowship Programme he was Chief of Staff of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Parliament of Georgia.
