Fund "Sukhumi" organized a three-day training in Kobuleti, - hotel "Sunrise". It was attended by women's initiative groups of Kutaisi, Khoni and Tskhaltubo. According to the agenda, the participants worked on advocacy: how to identify problems, plan campaigns, develop a slogan, draw clear message-box work on the SWOT analysis.
For them it was interesting the introduction of local self-government authority. Mini-lectures accompanied by practical exercises, role games, interactive work.
On the last day the groups developed action plan of advocating the concrete issues for municipalities. It was revealed that they have a certain amount of experience, which is so important for advocacy.
During three days there was great interest that was recorded during the feedback:
- For me this training was the best way to assess own resources and capabilities.
- It was interesting to learn about the experiences of other municipalities that will be implemented in our work.
On the next step initiative groups will try to advocate different issues in practice.
The project is implemented with the support of Kvinna till Kvinna,
