During the reporting period, the expert employed by the USAID/GGI conducted the analysis of administrative building of the municipality in the context of requirements set by Georgian legislation and prepared the relevant report.

Following the decision of Kutaisi City Hall on changing the City Hall building, the remaining two milestones of commitment (needs identification, development of technical assignment for the building modification and adaptation of building in accordance with the requirements of PWDs) are not implemented during the reporting period, as a new building of the City Hall has already been adapted to the needs of persons with disabilities. Therefore, the goal of the commitment has been achieved.

According to the Secretariat's assessment, the goal envisaged by the commitment has been achieved, as the new building of Kutaisi City Hall will be adapted to the needs of persons with disabilities. Therefore, the commitment is fully implemented.
