Tbilisi. Representatives of the Tbilisi City Hall have presented on January 29 the draft Tbilisi budget to the representatives of CSOs and general public. We would like to remind users that the capital's budget is still not approved. Detailed presentation was followed by the discussion. According to the CSO representatives, it would be better to involve broad public not only in the discussions over the draft, but in the process of drawing up the budget itself. In their opinion, it would be better also for the financial document to have a programmatic nature and for the indicators of its fulfillment to provide opportunities for better measurement of results. According to the City Hall representatives, presented budget is of the very programmatic nature, yet, CSO representatives claim in response that Georgia-wide there is still a lot of work for elaborating a programmatic financial document, and they offer to both central and local authorities the resource at the sector's disposal. Much noise has followed the issue of cooperative housing, raised by the citizens attending the event.In the near future the Tbilisi Sakrebulo plans a similar meeting on the Tbilisi budget with the CSO and public representatives.
