The Norwegian Mission of Rule of Law Advisers to Georgia

The Norwegian Mission of Rule of Law Advisers to Georgia (NORLAG) was established in 2004. The basic document is the Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed by the Government of Georgia and the Government of Norway in October 2004.

The aim of NORLAG is to strengthen the Rule of Law in Georgia. NORLAG closely cooperates with Georgian authorities, institutions and organizations within the field of criminal proceedings and execution of sentence. NORLAG cooperates on a practical level with judges, defence counsels, prosecutors, as well as prison and probation officers.

The NORLAG Office has 10 staff members; six Norwegian legal Advisers, one Georgian legal Adviser, two translators and one office manager/driver. The Norwegian advisers are judges, prosecutors and prison and probation experts.

Since 2006 NORLAG has funded several training and rehabilitation projects for juveniles and adults in prison, as well as for juveniles in pre-trial detention, juvenile probationers and juveniles released from police custody. The programmes offer vocational training and activities, and focus on rehabilitation and preparation for release. In particular the needs of juveniles and women have been highlighted.

The projects have been established in cooperation with Penal Reform International (PRI), and are run by local Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which initially have applied for grants, and participated in a competition, to receive funding from NORLAG. Approximately ten NGOs are funded every year.
