Members of the Club of Women-Voters discussed the problems existing in Khoni, which concern both IDPs and local population.

The problems are acute in fact: inhabitants of the Khoni collective centre still have not running water. Unemployment and lack of access to health programs are still serious problems. The issues relating to the transfer of premises in the ownership of IDPs have not yet been solved.

With the purpose of advocating the existing problems there has been formed a special group which will collaborate with the local government. Participants of the Club planned to invite to the next meeting a representative from the local government of Khoni.

The meeting was attended also by members of the monitoring group who had taken part in the meetings of local authorities and made monitoring of the local government activity from a gender perspective. They provided members of the Club with the information on the part of the budget of the local government, which deals with large families and IDPs.
