Training for IDP women and girls

Training on the topic “Women’s leadership, forms of communication, mechanisms of civil inclusion” was conducted with participation of IDP women and girls, members of the target working group living in different communities of Kutaisi.

The training program consisted of a lecture part and practical exercises. Participants were given the opportunity to work in groups on the following issues: what hinders civic engagement at the local level, how to increase the motivation of citizens to increase their involvement in the formation of local politics.

Participants interactively shared their experiences, positions and views on the topics discussed. It was noted that the topics of the training were important and necessary for them: “I began to think about leadership qualities, reconsidered my abilities, and discovered new resources.”

“We received very interesting information and got acquainted with the forms of attracting citizens. It is necessary that as many people as possible know about this.”

“I will definitely use the acquired knowledge in practice. I feel responsible and will be more actively involved in the ongoing processes of the municipality.”

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