Summary: MCC’s $395.3 million Georgia Compact (2006-2011) funded the $203.5 million Samtskhe-Javakheti (SJ) Road Rehabilitation Activity to address the SJ region’s economic isolation from the capital city of Tbilisi and the rest of the country. The activity aimed to reduce the time and costs associated with transportation by rehabilitating and constructing 220 kilometers of road. The improved road was expected to increase traffic volume, reduce travel times, and lower prices of consumer goods, ultimately leading to increased household consumption and higher levels of business investment.
