In the program of TV “Egrisi” – Senaki, members of Senaki GAC talked about gender policy and evaluated a two – year work of the GAC.
It was said that the first tangible result was creation of youth and gender department in the local government, for which small budget was allocated. Number of recommendations were named, which were envisaged by the local government, especially regarding the youth.
The GAC members mentioned that from the government side, an expression of confidence were the projects that were financed and successfully implemented. They also noted cooperation with the media, ensuring the dissemination of information about the project and its popularization.
The story says that the GAC as intermediary body between the community and local authorities, feels high sense of responsibility. A great desire of its members is to reflect gender needs, which have emerged as a result of a recent research in the budget of the next year.
The project is implemented with the support
of the UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality
