There was a live with Ozurgeti and Senaki council representatives, who spoke about practical results of the project: analysis of local gender situation, discussions on gender budgeting, project on civil activity and gender education, preoperational work for gender needs research. In future it will give us opportunity to suggest proposals and recommendations to Sakrebulo, which will reflect interests for the different gender groups and they will be envisaged in the local budget.

"The fact that council exists, the memorandum of collaboration is signed, tells about a positive attitude of civil groups and the women’s involvement in the formation of budget” – said the deputy of Kutaisi Sakrebulo. His position is: "The women must define local politics”.

The confidence level towards he council from the side of society is based on the people, who are among the fund participants. This was shown by the inter-active of the show. The question was: will be the activities of the gender council useful for the society. The answers were allocated in such way: Yes – 68%, No – 32%.
