Tbilisi. The Public Defender has commented on Transparency International – Georgia's evaluation of the national anti-corruption system. The document evaluates the activities of 12 national anti-corruption system institutes, including the Public Defender's administration and describes positive and negative developments in these structures over last four years.

''The Public Defender of Georgia welcomes the report of Transparency International - Georgia and notes that activities of non-governmental organizations in this direction significantly improves democratic processes and increases the level of transparency and accountability of governmental bodies in the country. However, the report does not adequately reflect positive changes that have taken place in the Public Defender’s Office and thus, the work of the Institution from 2011 until today is evaluated as slightly improved''.
