In the analysis we use results from household survey conducted by the National Statistics Service. More specific information about the labour market at the municipal level was collected through cooperation with local municipalities. For the analysis we used information from municipalities’ web pages, telephone conversations with stakeholders, personal meetings with experts and so on. It should also be noted that a certain part of the data obtained from municipalities and from administrative territorial units have an approximate nature, but based on these information it is possible to gain some valuable conclusions and make assumptions. Terms and reality of employment analysis is carried out not only at the level of the municipality but on the country and regional ones as well. Keywords: Labor market; Unemployment; Employment analysis; local municipalities; Economically Active population; Self-employed; Integrated household survey Introduction The target municipalities (Lentekhi, Oni, Ambrolauri, Tskaltubo, Samtredia, Tsageri) are located in specific regions of Georgia. For example, a municipality of Samtredia and Tskaltubo are in Imereti region, and the other four target municipalities are in Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region.

Nevertheless, it could not be implemented without financial support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Special attention is to be given to the Harm Reduction Service Centers participating in the study-active involvement and cooperation from the side of the heads of the Centers for Needle and Syringe Program: Psycho-Social Information and Consultation Center “New Way” (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Samtredia), the Union “New Vector” (Tbilisi), “Imedi” (Batumi), the Union “Step To The Future” (Gori, Telavi), the Association of National Development of Education, Social Rehabilitation and Historic Values Protection “Ordu” (Poti), and the Association of Young Psychologists and Doctors “Xenon” (Zugdidi). We express our gratitude to those beneficiaries who allowed time and gave their consent for participation in the study. Without trust and contribution of each respondent, beneficiary and the personnel of the Needle and Syringe Program it hardly seems credible to implement this study. 2 Table of Contents ABREVIATIONS 4 INTRODUCTION 5 HARM REDUCTION PROGRAMS INDUCED BY INJECTION DRUG USE 5 HARM REDUCTION SERVICES IN GEORGIA 6 STUDY PURPOSES 7 STUDY TASKS 7 METHODOLOGY 8 STUDY DESIGN 8 ETHICAL ISSUE OF THE STUDY ERROR!
