Social Programs Foundation (SPF)

SPF has been a partner within NRC’s ICLA programme since its start in 2002 and by the virtue of being the oldest partner NGO based in the capital Tbilisi, is recognized as the most experienced NGO within the Consortium. Apart from the NMFA/NRC project, SPF also used to be funded by UNHCR and the EU delegation in Georgia, where it acted as the grant recipient and a lead agency for the remaining Consortium partners. Currently, SPF employs nine staff and has previously implemented similar legal aid project funded by DRC, a research project with the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre and IDP youth oriented projects with EC Directorate on Culture and Education and European Youth Foundation. SPF has a solid material and technical base and has been consistently invited by MRA to contribute to various working groups and commissions dealing with IDP issues.
