“I am privileged to be able to serve as a Fellow and carry out research on the youth internal mobility in Georgia to better understand the context in the regions, find root causes of youth internal migration, as a result, develop recommendations for the policymakers, and discuss solutions through fostering a cross-sectoral dialogue. I firmly believe that grassroots initiatives is one of the most powerful ways to voice the concerns of vulnerable groups and make an impact.” Nino JIBUTI
