UNICEF Georgia, in collaboration with other UN agencies, supports the government of Georgia in carrying out national social reform in the area of child care, health and education and in achieving Millennium Development Goals. The Basic Cooperation Agreement signed between UNICEF and the government of Georgia on 3 December 1999 provides the basis of the relationship between the government and the organization.
The 2011 - 2015 programme of cooperation between the government of Georgia and UNICEF focuses on the following areas:
a) Integrated and Inclusive Systems for Children and Social Policy;
b) Child Rights Monitoring and Communication. Emergency preparedness and response, which has disaster risk reduction as its key underlying principle, is an integral part of each programme component.

The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
