On December 15-16, in frames of the joint project of Senaki Municipality and the Fund “Sukhumi” a training on: “Gender budget and civic inclusion programs” was held in Sairme.
Council members reviewed the implementation of Senaki Municipality Action Plan on Gender Equality for 2018–2019, they talked about budget programs in terms of gender, the experience of other municipalities in terms of introducing innovative services. Interesting perspectives were highlighted in terms of implementation of civil budget principles - this will contribute to the greater inclusion of citizens in local government and the implementation of important initiatives.
Two publications of the Fund “Sukhumi” were presented at the training - “Implementation of gender mainstreaming in municipalities” and “Methodology of gender monitoring of the local budget”. According to the participants, these manuals will help them in creating a local gender agenda, in identifying and envisaging the needs of various vulnerable groups.
At the end of the training, participants were awarded with certificates.
It should be noted that the Fund "Sukhumi" and Senaki Municipality Sakrebulo cooperate for many years. During this period, several important and useful projects have been implemented in the municipality.
