Dear Olga,

As we started to work on the social/economic policy response, I would like to seek your support in the process on developing an effective mechanism to reach out to self-employed and informal sector. 

As I’ve read from the policy measures of different countries there are numerous countries that have provided/pledged support to self-employed.  Can you kindly share their system (if available) of identifying potential beneficiaries, is there any methodology? 

I would appreciate if we can organize a short phone or skype call on this issue anytime today or tomorrow.

Thanks for your continuous support.

Kind regards,

Tamila

Dear Olga,

Thank you very much for e-mail.  We are at a good health and working mode :)

I appreciate the information.  We are in frequent communication with Lejo, he has been very helpful in advising and informing us on ongoing response in other countries.  We are currently working on the Govt economic and labour policy response to COVID-19.  Some decisions have already been made, others are in process of discussion, so the information sent by you will serve as a good reference document.

We will keep in touch.

Wish you and your loved ones health.

Kind regards,

Tamila

Dear Tamar,

I hope you and your family are safe in the current challenging situation.

I am sharing an overview of policy measures adopted by ILO member states in Europe in response to the pandemic.

The Office is compiling a file/a depositary on global experience; it will be abailable on the pulic site shortly.

The ILO stands ready to meet requests of your Government in design and/or implementation of your national policies to mitigate possible adverse impact of Covid-19 on  the labour maket of Georgia.

I wish you, your nearest and your country to stay healthy.

Best regards,

Olga Koulaeva
