Dear Tamar,
apologies for the confusion, the correct questions we had in mind for your Ministry are listed below:
- Approximate cost to build a small community clinic, medium-sized clinic and/or a large hospital in the country. Where possible, we
would be grateful if you could let us know what more or less defines a small and medium-sized clinic, as well as large hospital (e.g., how many beds, if any; types of services provided, any labs to do analysis).
- Approximate costs to pay a public a nurse and/or other health care worker per year.
Let us know if you think we could still discuss these with you and what would be a suitable schedule for you.
Thank you very much,
Yasmine

Dear Yasmine,
Given the questions and topics of discussion, I think it would be much more beneficial for you to interview representative of Ministry of Infrastructure representative.
Please contact
Mr. David Getsadze
Head of Project Unit at the Roads Department
Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia
E-mail:
davit.getsadze@georoad.ge
Please let me know if you will need further information
Kind regards,

Dear Ms Barkalaia,
In preparation to our call and to facilitate discussion kindly find below the information we would need to for the United Nations report.
- Approximate cost to build a kilometre of simple rural (or low traffic) road, a kilometre of medium or moderately trafficked road,
and the cost to build a kilometre of a high-traffic road.
- Approximate cost to build any other items of key infrastructure your Ministry believes should be built.
Your support on the above would help us to understand how useful it might be for Georgia to enhance its policies and mechanisms to better seize and recover assets linked to organized crime, and to
direct those recovered assets to key infrastructure needs.
With regards to the schedule, would Wednesday
18 November at 14:30 (Tblisi time) work? If not, kindly propose a schedule of your convenience for next week starting from Tuesday 24.
Thank you in advance for your much-valued support.
Yasmine

Dear Ms. Barkalaia,
In order to optimize the opportunity to engage with relevant officials from your Ministry, allow me to clarify that, as highlighted in the
below email, the objective would be to get a precise idea of the actual costs to build key pieces of infrastructure, such as clinics or hospitals (or, in the case of, say, the education sector,
to build schools); this of course depends on the Ministry with whom we speak.
Just to update you, our agenda got meanwhile fully booked on Tuesday 17. The other proposed schedules
remain available as of now (18 or 19 November at 14:30 - 11:30 Brussels time). Let us know in case you would be available but would prefer a different schedule in the coming days to
have a brief call for the above mentioned purpose.
Your support would really make a difference for the ultimate outcome of this important report.
Kind regards,
Yasmine

Subject: EU-UNICRI research study - Inputs from the Ministry of IDPs, Labour, Health and Social Affairs in Georgia
Dear Ms Barkalaia,
We received your contacts from Mr Jurate Juodsnukyte from the EUD in Tblisi, and we are contacting you on behalf of the United Nations
Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI).
Within the framework of the new EU-UNICRI project to enhance the
recovery of assets linked to organised criminal activity in the EU Eastern Partnership Countries, UNICRI’s experts are conducting
research studies on illicit financial flows for each of the Eastern Partnership countries. The studies will highlight the value of prioritising policies to
reduce illicit financial flows and to more effectively and efficiently seize and confiscate illicitly-obtained assets.
The research for each of these studies is nearing completion. Still, it will not be complete without the
valuable and much-needed feedback from key stakeholders. A key part of these studies will allow us to indicate to policymakers just
how much certain sectors (including the health, employment, education and infrastructure sectors) can benefit if the country
were to successfully prioritise the seizure and confiscation of only a small percentage of the illicit financial
flows related to organised crime.
Accordingly, we would be most grateful to briefly speak
with you (or any other key official you wish to designate in your Ministry) to help us convince policymakers to bolster the budget for your Ministry; an official with knowledge of how much, for example, it
costs to build clinics, or roads (or other infrastructure) or to support employment policies and subsidies, would be most helpful.
To this end, please let us know when you (or another relevant official) would be available for a Zoom call
on either Wednesday 4 or Thursday 5 (afternoon your time) next week.
Thank you in advance for your much-valued support and input to these important studies being carried out by the United Nations.
Kindest regards,
Yasmine
