This event is being organized by the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia as part of the "Re-Engineering of Public Services in the Eastern Partnership" project, which falls in the scope of the Eastern Partnership Regional Public Administration Reform Fund.

The commencement of the event took place with an opening address delivered by Dr. Otar Chakhunashvili, Deputy President of the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia, and Dr. Hrachik Yarmaloyan, Regional Manager of EaP Regional Fund for PAR Project “Re-Engineering of Public Services in EaP”, implemented by GIZ. In his speech, Dr. Otar Chakhunashvili underscored the significance of collaboration among fellow data protection supervisory bodies and apprised the participants of the accomplishments of the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia, including the adoption of the new Law "On Personal Data Protection" and the obtaining the observer’s status to the activities of the "European Data Protection Board".  

Furthermore, the first day of the event was attended by Nikoloz Popiashvili, the Head of the President’s Office of the Service, and Davit Karashvili, the Head of the Legal Department. The meeting was also participated by Ana Tokhadze, the Head of the Department of International Relations, Analytics, and Strategic Development; Aleksandre Mirianashvili, the Lawyer of the Department of Supervision of Law Enforcement Bodies, and Mikheil Kazishvili, the Internal Auditor of the Service.

The primary objective of this project is to facilitate cooperation, experience sharing, and knowledge exchange among the state agencies of the Eastern Partnership countries.

It is crucial to emphasize that the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia actively participates in the events scheduled within the aforementioned project, with two meetings having already taken place. The first meeting, held from February 6-10, 2023, focused on customer-oriented design and service delivery, while the second meeting occurred from May 22-26 in Chisinau, Moldova, with a focus on digital transformation.
