The goal of the project, in 17 municipalities of Georgia (Mtskheta, Dusheti, Kareli, Gori, Kaspi, Khashuri, Tetritskaro, Gardabani, Tskaltubo, Kutaisi, Khoni, Sachkheri, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha and Senaki, Mestia and Oni) to empower local women and transform them into leaders who will be able to: identify existing or potential problems; have appropriate response to needs; protect personal and community interests and advocate at the local government level and/or with other relevant agencies.
The measures envisaged by the project should contribute to increasing the security of women and youth affected by the conflict, realizing their rights and strengthening their capacities in the process of localization of the National Action Plan of Georgia for the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security.
Networks of internally displaced people and conflict-affected women and youth should be strengthened/supported to better engage them in peace and security issues in decision-making processes and demand greater accountability in the implementation of the National Action Plan at the local level.
