Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN), in cooperation with Partnership for Road Safety Foundation (PfRS), has begun implementing the initiative - 'Initiation of an Auto Fuel Efficiency Programme in Georgia & Development of the Caucasus Fuel Economy Initiative (CFEI)'. As the first initiative to address auto fuel economy specifically in the region, this project is a part of the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) and is supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as well as GFEI partner organizaitons: the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Transport Forum (ITF) and the FIA Foundation.
Here is a good summary of the key issues that are tackled in this project: in English, and in Russian.
Here is a link to the Public Service Announcement (PSA) released in Georgia in 2011 within the framework of the GFEI project.
