The research which was carried out by Gender Advisory Council (GAC) was completed in order to identify local gender needs. This time, the research covered the villages of Ozurgeti municipality (in the previous year the work has been done in the scale of the city).
4 focus groups and 4 in-depth interviews were held. 200 people were interviewed. The groups were selected based on local interests. Focus groups were held with the teachers of kindergartens and schools, with the attorneys of villages, young people and vulnerable women.
Respondents of in-depth interviews were chosen from representative of government, as well as experts on health, education and agriculture. Surveys were conducted with IDPs, socially vulnerable women, representatives of ethnic minorities and young people.
Based on the research, recommendations will be prepared for submission to the local government that 2016 budget fully corresponded to the needs of population.
The project is implemented with the support
of the UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality
