Programme goals

The aim of the programme is to encourage understanding of the importance of including gender equality in the processes of creating, monitoring, and evaluating public policies, followed by appropriate budgetary implications.

The training emphasizes the importance, but also gives practical knowledge on how gender aspects become an integral part of all these processes and thus put an end to inequality, while taking into account the different priorities of men and women.

This approach is a model of essential equity that is not only affected by equal opportunities but also by the fairness of the results in the implementation of state policies.
