overview of 2006 project
During 2006 GTRC kept the focus on Capacity building and support the institution development; Information and database resources center; supporting social cohesion and integration processes and supporting to initiate Youth Gender initiatives. The above mentioned program areas were followed by
o Gender oriented training courses
o Technical Assistance and Services
o Sharing information and opinions on gender related issues in Kosovo society
o Promotion of women in executive positions
o Promote and support minority integration activity
o Promote EU integration processes
Capacity building and support the institution development was implemented through Gender oriented training courses and Technical Assistance and Services.
Gender oriented training courses included basic and specific gender trainings. This was achieved through mobilizing and involving all stakeholders pursues sheltering, advocacy and counseling for the gender related issues and promotion of women participation in protecting their rights through increased awareness.
Whereas providing technical assistance and services involved women in the process of the education and increasing their motivation through increased awareness and training and supporting the institutional development processes in NGO-s, governmental bodies, local authorities on gender related capacities and structures.
Information and Database Resource Center has a role of sharing information and opinions on gender related issues in Kosovo society. The goal was to contribute the establishment of an open forum of info sharing and opinions on gender related issues in Kosovo society.
This goal was achieved through information distribution for all gender related stakeholders and the society in general for raising awareness and participation and developed models of info sharing and interactive tools of communication with other women NGOs and the public in general.
The only way to support social cohesion and integration processes was through promoting women in executive positions; promoting participatory urban planning related to gender dimension and promoting EU integration processes.
Objectives which supported the GTRC to fulfill the goals were empowering the “hidden” women resources pressured by the society, which do not become visible for the different stakeholder; creating a partnership with organizations and donors that have interest in the urban planning strategies and women participation and involving citizens (especially women) in local budgeting planning as mechanism for achieving the concrete results in community participatory dimension. The Promotion of the EU integration processes from the gender perspective was possible through establishing links and communication with women and gender networks facilitating support for Kosovo NGOs.
Promotion of youth initiatives in gender issues is not yet accomplished. This component was projected to be implemented through offering them an appropriate environment. The Creation of the “Youth Gender Group” inside GTRC in order to involve, educate, and connect youths with Gender issues, initiatives, problems as well as creating new alternatives in facing the Gender problems is one of projected ideas.
