GTRC projected that during 2007 most of the components of
the project of 2006 will remain due to requirements from existing
partners in Kosovo.
The additional activities GTRC have included in 2007
project are roundtables
and informal meetings – debates. This
project goal is to provide opportunity for women and youth to raise
awareness through discussion. To achieve this goal GTRC set two
objectives: Involving women and youth in the societal processes to
enhance the role of women’s and youth NGOs in advocacy by helping to
transform them from reactive service providers into proactive agents of
change and Strengthen the organizational capacity of the NGO sector by
fostering the development of critical thinking through professional and
transparent approach towards issues.
To achieve these
objectives will be organized four roundtables and two informal meetings
or debates with our beneficiaries (women and youth) in order to identify
future needs and new ideas.
GTRC
will organize the roundtables with topics that will support NGO-s
development. The topic will be on: Leadership means You, Policy Design,
Active citizenship and European Union Integration Process. Roundtables
will be held in the GTRC premises and participants profile will be from
society representatives of governmental and non-governmental sphere.
The number of participants in each roundtable will be 15-20 persons.
Informal meetings or debates will be held also in GTRC premises, and the
purpose is mainly exchanging experiences, information and identifying
the needs in community level.
GTRC
also will be an Information and
Database
Resource Center by sharing information and opinions on gender related
issues in Kosovo society. The goal is to contribute the establishment
of an open forum of info sharing and opinions on gender related issues
in Kosova society.
To
achieve this goal there are these objectives to be fulfilled: Support
the information distribution for all gender related stakeholders and the
society in general for raising awareness and participation and Develop
models of info sharing and interactive tools of communication with other
women NGOs and the public in general.
As
activities GTRC projected to focus its work in the upgrading in services
and information the GTRC web page as well as it will be “refreshed” the
expert/trainers database with further information on existing members
and new experts’ entries, local and regional ones.
