Two-day training for women-mobilizers of Women’s Support Centers was held in Fund "Sukhumi”. The theme of the training was "Project writing and advocacy".
The training was attended by eleven mobilizers of the Women's Support Centers in Kutaisi, Khoni, Tskhaltubo, Senaki, Poti, and Khurcha. The first day of the training was devoted to the elaboration of projects (project cycle, main stages, mission, purpose, strategy is a typical project, etc.), and the second day was devoted to the issues of civil interests advocacy (advocacy skills: problem definition, searching for information, definition of objectives, verification mechanisms) as well as the issues of cooperation with local authorities.
During the training there were defined a lot of problems of the population. For example, pansioners who live in Khurcha and Nabakevi and it is very difficult to go to Zugdidi to get pensions, so they are asking for the opening of an ATM of "Liberty Bank" in Khurcha or delivery of pensions in place.
Reflection of the training showed that most participants are ready to work on project elaboration independently and develop an effective strategy for advocacy.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization EED Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst. |
