While the Georgian Ministry of Energy has the overall strategic and coordinating responsibility, component 1 and 2 of the engagement will be implemented by the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia as the responsible authority and component 3 and 4 will be implemented by the Georgian National Energy and Water Regulatory Commission as the responsible authority.
