Our organisational mission:

Development of women’s activity through educational, legal, economic, social, cultural activities to increase women’s role in building a democratic society in Georgia, in the peaceful resolution of the conflict in Abkhazia, and achieving economic independence

Another informational meeting was held at the vocational school in Kutaisi within the project “Learning from Visegrad 4 experience to advocate for equal, inclusive and democratic local governance”.

The meeting was attended by the representatives of local self-government and non-governmental organizations, teachers and students of the school.

The presented topics and information about the project – Decentralization and Local Gender Policy, Introduction of Gender Mainstreaming in Municipalities, Experience of Visegrad 4 - appeared to be interesting for them. The relevant issues have been identified and revealed during the discussion. The importance of fair budgeting - taking into account the needs of all gender groups - has been demonstrated. 

The project is implemented with the support of the Visegrad Fund and the Kingdom of the Netherlands
