Along with the public-sector expenditures, private sector spending and spending by international donor organizations, and NGOs are analyzed.

The Biodiversity Finance Policy and Institutional Review forms a reference point for the whole BIOFIN process.  The document establishes a baseline of the national policy and institutional context in which the BIOFIN project is expected to expand biodiversity finance in Georgia.
