Our project aims to increase meaningful participation and decision-making of women by providing them with an opportunity to gain essential skills and confidence, as well as to create a formal platform through which women can promote structural inclusion in decision-making. The project has a dual objective: first, to increase women’s capacity, confidence and willingness to participate in decision-making and public roles. Second, to increase coordination and communication between women to support structural inclusion and create positive gender norms.

Firstly, we organize workshops in which participants learn essential skills such as communication, negotiation, public speaking and problem-solving which will enhance and promote their capacity, confidence and willingness to participate in decision-making and public roles. Secondly, our project creates local women councils that will coordinate and communicate closely with the local authorities and stakeholders in addressing gender-sensitive issues and promote the role of women in conflict prevention processes and response.
