In December 2007, FLEX, UGRAD and Muskie alumni participated in three on-line election-related web chats organized by IREX’s Internet Access and Training Program (IATP) - www.iatp.ge/forum/. Five of the seven presidential candidates participated, and alumni asked questions, 148 in total, on such topics as the candidates’ political platforms on poverty reduction; social programs; election procedures; conflict resolution and civic integration; as well as education reform and other current issues. |
