Start of a new project: First meetings

Working on IDP issues is one of the directions of the Women Fund "Sukhumi". A coalition project has been launched in five municipalities of western Georgia. The title of the project is:

Strengthening the capacities of the regional and local administrations in the processes of localization of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security and enhancing the meaningful participation of IDP and conflict-affected women and youth in those processes.

The aim of the project is to support the development of local government capacity, especially with IDPs and conflict-affected population, to be more actively involved in the localization of the National Action Plan of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 for Women, Peace and Security.

Members of the initiative group selected on the basis of the survey will be involved in training programs.

The aim of the program is to increase knowledge and experience in the following areas: assessing the situation on the ground in terms of peacebuilding and confidence building, setting current priorities and cooperating with local authorities in the process of effective advocacy for arisen threats.

The work is carried out in five target municipalities: Kutaisi, Tskaltubo, Khoni, Senaki and Zugdidi. The first meetings were held in January. The participants of the meetings were informed about the project. Initiative groups of IDP women and girls were formed.

The project is implemented with the support

 of the UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality
