Trainings for IDP working groups

On April 13 and 14, members of the working group of IDP women and girls attended a training on: “Budget advocacy and citizen participation in self-government.” All four groups – 80 people – took part in the training.

What is the budget, what does the local government program mean, what benefits are provided, what services can IDP women and girls living in Kutaisi use to improve their living conditions - the training participants were informed about these issues. They expressed their opinions:

“It was a necessary and useful training that made many things obvious for us.”

“We learned about responsibilities of local government, what can we demand and what local government cannot do.”

“It turns out that you need to follow the application procedure and register on time.”

“We have found that only application is not enough to satisfy a request or requirement.”

“We learned that it is important to have the right information.”

The project is implemented with the support of  USAID local governance program
