Reconstruction efforts after the Russo-Georgian War
The Russo-Georgian War caused major infrastructural and economic damage throughout Georgian and South Ossetian territory. Many countries promised reconstruction aid to the affected regions.

A donors' conference for Georgia was scheduled to be held on October 21 or October 22.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Georgia donors' conference set for October 21 in Belgium )〕 On 20 October 2008, on the sidelines of an international high level conference in Belgium on "The Future of Parliamentary Involvement in Global Health and Development" the humanitarian situation in Georgia was also discussed. On 22 October 2008, the United States pledged $1 billion economic support package at a European Union-sponsored donors’ conference in Brussels; this came in addition to aid of nearly $40 million in emergency humanitarian assistance delivered by USAID and the U.S. Defense Department during the crisis.〔 The European Commission added another "up to" €500 million. While many nations did not disclose their actual pledges, diplomats said Germany had pledged €33.7 million to add to their pre-war offer of €35 million. Sweden also ranked high on the list of most generous donors with €40 million while France promised €7 million.〔 Japan pledged $200 million in recovery aid over three years, primarily for rebuilding roads and rail systems, but they also joined delegates to urge Georgia to continue progress on democratic and economic reforms. The International Monetary Fund offered a $750 million loan package, while the European Investment Bank offered €200 million in loans to rebuild infrastructure.〔
In total, the Brussels conference agreed to deliver $4.55 billion for Georgia. The amount far exceeded the $3.25 billion estimate of the World Bank and United Nations.〔
Georgian Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze said, "We are deeply moved and humbled by the demonstration of solidarity and support that we have received," additionally noting the pledges were made despite the ongoing effects of a global financial crisis. He then added that "Every single, euro, dollar and pound will make Georgia stronger, more prosperous, freer, more democratic and more genuinely and thoroughly European." "(It) will alleviate, to a significant degree, the human suffering that has resulted in the aftermath of the Aug. 7 conflict." Joint summit host, EU External Affairs Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, said of the occasion and its outcome that "This is a day of joy."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Surprisingly large financial aid package pledged to Georgia )〕
