In 2016, Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) and the Municipality of Hani i Elezit will begin cooperating towards integrating Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) in this municipality. 
GRB is gender mainstreaming in the budget. Through GRB we can see whether a state budget is being spent in a gender responsive manner; whether men and women are benefiting as much as they should from every economic category and budget line; and whether women’s and men’s needs and priorities are being addressed through the budget. Since 2015, through Gender Equality Law 05/L-020, GRB has become a legal obligation for all budget organizations in Kosovo. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of expertise on how to properly implement it. 
  Hence, KWN every year takes it up to support one municipality throughout the year on GRB implementation. This support comes in different forms; trainings, mentoring sessions, assistance in budget document preparation etc. 
   Igballe Rogova, KWN executive director, and Rufki Suma, Mayor of Hani i Elezit on 9 March decided that Hani i Elezit will become the third Municipality KWN will support in integrating GRB, after Kamenica in 2014, and Gjakova in 2015. 
KWN support to municipalities is being financed by Austrian Development Agency (ADA).
