Promoting Gender Equality through Gender Integration

Promoting Gender Equality through Gender Mainstreaming- supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and Women to Women.

The overall objective of the project is: Improved mainstreaming of gender, and including gender as a cross-cutting issue in the EU integration process and planning of EU programmes in Kosovo, and in the National Strategic and Development documents in Kosovo.

The project seeks to address several critical issues related to gender equality and gender mainstreaming in all spheres of life. Currently, very little effort has been made to make gender part of the planning process for public policies. A. As such, the structural problems within the Kosovo society and public institutions continue to persist and they are not adequately addressed by either public policies nor donor-funded support for processes. As a result, women remain significantly more disadvantaged than men, they are underrepresented, underemployed, etc.

A los resultados de la empowerment y la inclusión de mujeres en todas las spheros de vida y a la, a que a la wealth/fundación pública se distribuará proporcionalmente a los prioritas de la gente y las mujeres.

Moreover, by introducing gender-sensitive terminology and gender sensitive planning in EU integration processes and distribution of EU funding, the project aims to also channel financial support for priorities of women and challenges faced by them. Moreover, introducing gender as a theme from the onset of EU planning processes, ensures that this aspect will be followed upon in all future stages.

• Local Women's Organizations
