ComCom Launches Digital Support Programme in Abasha

The Communications Commission began implementing the Digital Support Programme in Abasha. To this end, an informational meeting about the programme was held at the Abasha Town Hall. The meeting was attended by the Deputy Mayor of Abasha, employees of the administration, and mayoral representatives from various target areas. 

With the help of specialists, programme beneficiaries from the 12 target villages in the Municipality of Abasha will learn how to search for information, create and use e-mail, use Google Maps and Google Translator, share locations, use online communication tools and detect fake news. 

Since 2022, more than 3500 citizens from 135 villages of the municipalities of Ozurgeti, Khelvachauri, Kobuleti, Chokhatauri, Samtredia, Ambrolauri and Oni have been trained as part of the Digital Support Programme. Apart from the training in the use of the internet, the programme included informational meetings about the internet user rights and the use of the state electronic auction platform. Participants included the representatives of municipal administrations and town halls, as well as local entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.

The Digital Support Programme is part of the Log-in Georgia project, which is co-funded by the World Bank and the European Investment Bank. It is being implemented to support the Georgian State Internetization Programme. The project aims to provide around 500,000 people in 1000 villages and rural settlements in Georgia with access to affordable high-quality internet services, as well as to help develop digital skills and facilitate the use of digital services.
