Production of Construction Materials and Personal Protective Equipment in Georgia: Challenges and Recommendations
The present study analyzes two value chains in the light manufacturing sector namely personal protective equipment and construction materials, and aims at studying existing difficulties, as well as developing recommendations for addressing the most important challenges for these value chains by facilitating inclusive dialogue and participatory processes. Recent developments including the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of the construction sector have significantly increased the potential of the personal protective equipment and construction materials value chains on both local and export markets. However, there are still a number of hindrances holding them back and these require comprehensive evaluation and the devising of practical solutions.
This policy paper was prepared by PMCG within the frame of the USAID Economic Security Program, in conjunction with the Sector Economy and Economic Policy Committee of the Parliament of Georgia, and with active involvement of the Georgian Construction Materials Cluster, the latter supported under the Clusters4Development Project funded by the European Union and the German Government.
