The National Bank of Georgia, with the involvement of the European Fund for South East Europe Development Facility (EFSE DF) and the Civil Development Agency (CIDA), developed a new financial education program for farmers and published a practical guide entitled Make Better Financial Decisions.

The goal of the program is to support entrepreneurs involved in the agricultural sector to select the right financial product suited for their business needs and capacity and to make the right financial decisions.

The manual and training module developed for the program, which in turn includes a guide and presentation for training of agro-entrepreneurs, is tailored to the needs of agribusiness.

The financial education program for agriculture entrepreneurs uses a simple language and includes practical examples and tips to allow the audience to easily put theoretical skills to practice. The program also allows the entrepreneurs to independently identify the short- and long-term needs of the business, educate themselves in their own rights and responsibilities, learn how to increase the competitiveness of their business with energy-efficient investments and understand the importance of agriculture insurance.

The manual entitled Make Better Financial Decisions was published as part of the program. Also, a guide and presentation for entrepreneur training were prepared. The material is available for free to any interested party.
