Training of coaches on gender issues (basic level) with local government officials In February 5-7, 2009, in Tirana, was held the training of coaches on Gender Issues – basic training for local government officials. The training session was organized the Austrian Project Equality in Governance (BnQ) in Tirana. The objective of the training was to familiarize the participants with the specific BnQ training materials and to build a team of experts responsible for holding training sessions in various municipalities in the country. The training session was attended by 12 participants, 8 from Tirana and 4 from other districts. The participants were a number of NGO representatives, one municipality Gender Focal Point, one independent gender expert and two university professors. All participants are familiar with gender issues, some of them actively involved in advancing such issues in academic, government and NGO circles. In the training session, older and younger colleagues exchanged their experiences to enhance their knowledge of women’s history and gender policies in the country. Some specific ToT sessions, such as “The Power Concept”, “Adult Learning”, “Monitoring local government performance through indicators”, and “Introduction to Macroeconomics – a gender perspective”, were held apart from the standard program. The training sessions took place in a setting of great interaction within the work groups and good balance between theory and practical work, something that the participants appreciated greatly. The participants developed relevant project plans for achieving the goals of the National Strategy for Gender Equality and against Domestic Violence. Proposals focused on the participation of women in decision-making bodies, equal access to education, and on the political representation of women at local level. Many of them pointed out that they intend to put earned skills into practice not only in their potential involvement as coaches, but also in their work and private life. |
