The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation will provide $150,000 through its Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033) to enhance the Georgian Center For Strategy And Development's capacity to respond to asymmetric weapons of mass destruction threats from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. Under the cooperative agreement, GCSD will raise local awareness about nonproliferation norms and highlight the growing threat of state-sponsored assassinations using hard-to-detect chemical or biological agents. The project supports the Global Threat Reduction program's goals of reducing threats posed by terrorist organizations or states of concern seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction.
