Description
Policy and legislative developments in the last few years (National Action Plan for Gender Equality and Law on Gender Equality) are welcome, and have created a solid ground to address these problems. It is now important to ensure that these laws and policies are implemented; this will require not only political will, human and financial capacities and continuous monitoring, but also an institutional and cultural transformation process that should include the elimination of gender bias in national development frameworks, as well as the incorporation of gender awareness into broader policies, programmes and institutional reforms. Equality between women and men is not just a goal in itself: it is a precondition for the fulfillment of human rights and human development in general, and of the overall EU objectives in regard to growth, employment and social cohesion, in particular. This Programme aims to improve the status of women as reflected in personal integrity, economic advancement and political representation. The specific objective of the project is to strengthen capacities, improve mechanisms, advance policies and improve the conditions for the implementation of the NAP for Gender Equality in following three areas: Elimination of violence against women, Political empowerment of women and Economic empowerment of women.
