The Annual Work Programmes (including the current one for 2020) cover the latter three areas, with EP election observation delegations being subject to a separate bi-annual procedure in DEG. The newly established DEG, constituted in October 2019, reconfirmed the Comprehensive Democracy Support Approach (CDSA) - applied since 2014 - as a guiding principle of the Group’s work in the 9th legislature. In line with the Approach, the DEG carries out the bulk of its activities in a manner that is coherent with, and complementary to, the electoral cycles of a limited number of third countries. Taking into account the DEG experience, impact of activities and lessons learnt from the previous legislature, DEG reconfirmed the following six priority countries/regions for enhanced democracy support activities under the CDSA: Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Tunisia, Western Balkans (as a priority region), and the Pan-African Parliament (as a priority regional parliament).

  • Georgia Program Profile
    GEORGIA PROGRAM PROFILE PETER ROSKAM, CHAIRMAN • DAVID PRICE, CO-CHAIR History of Partnership The House Democracy Partnership (HDP) approved a legislative strengthening partnership with the Parliament of Georgia in 2006. 1 The program with Georgia has focused on strengthening parliamentary oversight of the defense and security sectors, committee operations, parliamentary research and analysis and information technology capabilities. HDP has encouraged development on these fronts through visits to Tbilisi by current and former members of congress, training seminars for Georgian members of parliament in Washington and training programs for Georgian legislative staff. HDP also supported a $70,000 information technology project to significantly upgrade the parliament’s internet access and internal information technology capabilities. Accomplishments Improved internet access and internal information technology capabilities. Consulted with parliamentary and committee leadership on oversight, particularly in the defense sector, as parliament held an unprecedented series of oversight hearings in the wake of the August 2008 conflict with Russia. Helped research, budget and committee staff be more responsive to member of parliament (MP) and committee requests for information and analysis. Background Georgia has been a democratic republic since the first multiparty, democratic parliamentary elections of October 28, 1990. Following a crisis involving allegations of ballot fraud in the 2003 parliamentary elections, Eduard Shevardnadze resigned as president on November 23, 2003, in the bloodless Rose Revolution. Georgia is a semi-presidential republic, with sole legislative authority invested in the unicameral Parliament of Georgia. Following constitutional amendments passed in 2003, the parliament was reduced to 150 members elected through a proportional representation system. Parliamentary elections were last held in October 2016.
