Analysis of the survey in Khoni

In Khoni settlement for IDPs, a survey was conducted to study their attitude to the reform of the allowance for IDPs.

Out of the 50 respondents, only a small part considers it necessary to carry out the reform. Everyone negatively evaluates the fact that prior to the drafting of the reform, there was no study of their needs.

Most respondents note that the allowance (45 GEL) is important for them, and the implementation of the reform will worsen their already difficult social and economic situation.
