The transport sector assessment of Georgia is a working document that helps inform the development of country partnership strategy. It highlights the development issues, needs and strategic assistance priorities of the transport sector in Georgia. The knowledge product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of managing transport sector development in Georgia in the coming years. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people.

In 2017 only, the work of the Central Election Commission (CEC) was recognized with two international awards.1 The CEC Chairperson was also awarded in 2017 for her contribution to development of electoral processes.2 Such awards are indicative of success, however the question that remains is whether the work of the electoral adminis- tration was equally successful in all areas. Over the last two years the work of the electoral administration with regard to consideration of electoral complaints in the pre-election period was less than successful. Resolving election disputes the right way is a tool for creating fair and competitive electoral environment. The electoral administration, which is in charge of considering and deciding disputes envisaged by the legislation, plays an important role in this regard. It should establish the right practice, in compli- ance with the spirit and goals of the electoral legislation. With its decisions the electoral administration should help create high standard, as a precondition for creating equal electoral environment. Instead the electoral administration has failed to adequately address the chal- lenges raised by several precedent-setting cases. Its use of electoral norms is completely against the purpose of the electoral legislation.
