On 25 June, the Kosovo Women\u2019s Network (KWN) organised a workshop on Gender-responsive Budgeting (GRB) for social services in Pristina, bringing together representatives of civil society organisations to strengthen their capacities for advocating more equitable and inclusive public budgeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workshop was facilitated by KWN expert Elirjeta Beka, who introduced the key concepts and principles of GRB and highlighted its role in ensuring that public resources are allocated in ways that respond to the different needs, priorities and lived realities of diverse women and men. Participants also explored how GRB can contribute to improving the accessibility, quality and effectiveness of social services, particularly for people who face multiple forms of discrimination or barriers to accessing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through interactive discussions and practical examples, participants exchanged experiences from their communities, identified key challenges in financing social services, and discussed opportunities to strengthen local advocacy efforts. The workshop also encouraged dialogue on the important role that civil society plays in monitoring public spending, engaging with municipal institutions and advocating for budget decisions that leave no one behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This workshop marks the beginning of a regional capacity-building initiative that KWN will implement across five regions of Kosovo. By strengthening the capacities of local civil society organisations, KWN aims to support evidence-based advocacy for GRB at the municipal level and contribute to more transparent, accountable and gender-responsive public finance systems that better address the needs of all citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The activity was organised within the framework of the initiative “Improving Civil Society Capacities to Enhance Access to Quality Social Protection for Diverse Women and Men”, supported by the European Union Office in Kosovo. Through this initiative, KWN continues to work alongside civil society organisations and institutions to advance gender equality and improve access to quality social protection for diverse women and men across Kosovo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
