KARAT Coalition has the pleasure to announce the start of a new 3 year EC co-funded project: Building Support in New Member States (NMS) for Gender-sensitive and responsive European Development Co-operation.
The project’s leading organisation is One World Action – an international development agency based in London, UK. Activities are going to be implemented in partnership with KARAT (Secretariat based in Warsaw, Poland) and in collaboration with four KARAT member organisations from: Bulgaria (GERT), Czech Republic (Association for Equal Opportunities), Slovakia (Slovak Center for Communication and Development) and Romania (Org 'AUR' ). The first strategic meeting for the project is planned in July.
The project is one of the pioneering initiatives aiming to contribute women’s voice to development cooperation debates in the EU NMS. The objective is to build the capacity of women’s rights NGOs to advocate for the full implementation of the EU gender equality policy in the government’s development assistance and to initiate cooperation between South-East-North on women’s rights in development. The project’s activities will include: regional and national dialogues, visit of the Sub-Saharan women advocates to the NMS, briefings on aid and gender, preparation of case studies and finally a big international conference in Brussels.
If you’re interested to collaborate or want to know more please contact Kasia Staszewska, project coordinator, at: kasia.staszewska@karat.org.pl
