Training in Kutaisi on advocacy issues

“We gained very important information about the advocacy process.”

“We did it like this, but through training we learned how necessary it is to take correct steps”.

“We have been working on drafting an advocacy plan together. The knowledge gained will help us conduct advocacy correctly.”

This is what the participants – leader women and girls, representatives of different IDP communities of Kutaisi – said at the end of the training. The training was held at the office of the Women Fund "Sukhumi" on the topic: "Advocacy for community problems, advocacy strategy and drawing up an action plan".

The participants worked on the reasons and consequences using the “problem tree” method, and also did a SWOT analysis - strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and risks.

After the theoretical part, the participants worked in groups on an action plan for advocacy regarding a specific issue.

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