Georgia has substantially increased funding for its Ministry of Agriculture since 2011 and improved its policy environment through 2012 parliamentary elections. In 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture established a public extension system with 245 specialists dispersed to 54 field offices. While progress has been made, extension specialists in the field offices have many responsibilities beyond farmer education. There are also concerns about specialists serving both educational and regulatory roles winning farmers' trust. Georgia currently has laws preventing the extension network from charging fees for services.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Public Sector Service Provision, Policy Making,
and Enabling Environment in Georgia
• Contrary to many other countries, Georgia has substantially
increased its funding for the Ministry of Agriculture since 2011.
• Parliamentary elections in 2012 improved enabling environment
for supportive policies
• In early 2013, the MOA made a bold move to establish a public
funded Extension system country-wide with approval of
Parliament
• About 245 specialists were hired and dispersed to the 54 field
offices in districts called Information & Consulting Centers
• Bad news/Good news
• But, specialists in district offices have many other responsibilities
in addition to farmer education and assistance

10. Public Sector Service Provision, Policy Making,
and Enabling Environment in Georgia
• Remember, the Extension network in Georgia is only two years old
• Good progress made; more to be done—both at the Ministry level
as well as the field level
• Concern for Extension field staff winning the trust of farmers
when they must serve both education and regulatory roles.
• Georgia has laws preventing the Extension network from charging
for services that might be provided. ‘Fee based’ programs not an
option for funding support at this time unless policy is changed.
• Over 600,000 small farmers in Georgia, so both public and private
sector Extension education is needed.
