The Fund ”Sukhumi” organized a meeting of the Women's Initiative Group in Tskaltubo. The participants discussed social problems that are relevant in communities and create conflict situations.

Participants know that the management of any conflict situation at the first phase is more effective. They are informed how to work on the early prevention of conflicts. There is a data, which is obtained as a result of the questionnaire - they show what problems are relevant in the society with which they will have to work.

The initiative group will actively hold meetings with various local communities, with representatives of local authorities and will try to contribute to reducing the risks of conflict development.

The Fund "Sukhumi" organized a three-day training on: "Analysis of conflict and crisis situations envisaging gender aspects". The training was held in Kobuleti.

The training was attended by members of Women's Initiative Groups of Kutaisi, Tskaltubo, Khurcha-Koki (Zugdidi Municipality).

The three-day program included the following issues: the concept of conflict, sources, gender differentiation, conflict analysis and its methods, strategic approaches and mechanisms for conflict resolution at an early stage.

The program was full of practical, role-game exercises. With the help of the received information and skills, Women's initiative groups can effectively work in specific communities for the early prevention of conflict situations.

In frames of the project "Early Conflict Prevention, Theory and Practice", the women initiative groups of Kutaisi, Tskaltubo and Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality) started activities in their communities.

The first meeting was held with the group of Khurcha. The members of the group worked on identifying the problem and highlighted the actual one for their community.

- For whom is this problem important, in whose interests is its decision, who are the supporters and opponents, who influences it, the initiative group worked on the methods that were studied during the special training.

An analysis of the problem will enable participants to effectively work on the early prevention of conflict.

In frames of the project: “Early Prevention of the Conflict - Theory and Practice”, 200 beneficiaries were interviewed in Kutaisi, Tskaltubo and Khurcha-Koki (Zugdidi Municipality). It turns out that the data obtained in three municipalities are different. Accordingly, the reasons of conflict differ from each other. As a result of the questionnaire analysis, it will be possible to solve concrete crisis situations.
