In early January 2009, the Georgian government announced the establishment of a new anti-corruption council that is led by Justice Minister Zurab Adeishvili and is tasked with updating the government’s anti-corruption strategy and action plan. Following this announcement, Transparency International Georgia decided to canvass the opinion of civil society groups about the measures that need to be taken in order to address the problem of corruption in various fields. TI Georgia’s effort in this direction was funded by the OSCE Mission to Georgia. TI Georgia compiled a list of areas where corruption is perceived to be an existent or a potential threat and asked a number of civil society representatives and experts to provide their views,advice and recommendations as to how the problem should be addressed.
