| dc.description.abstract | This handbook was prepared within the scope of the "Gender
Responsive Budgeting in Amasra Municipality Project” financed by
NDI Turkey. The project aimed to raise awareness and strengthen
capacity on gender-sensitive budgeting within the municipality to make the
municipality’s gender equality activities more effective. It also helped the
municipality to undertake a preliminary study on a local equality action plan.
The project was undertaken between October and December 2022 by Amasra
Municipality in cooperation with the Global Equality and Inclusion Network.
“Gender Equality and Gender Responsive Budgeting Capacity Building
Training” was held on 11-12 October 2022 in Amasra Municipality as the first
step of the project, led by Dr. Ece Öztan. During this step, major non-governmental
organizations and mukhtars in Amasra were also visited as part of the
formal consultation process.
In the second stage, field visits to Bursa Nilüfer, Eskişehir Metropolitan and
Eskişehir Tepebaşı Municipalities were conducted to see best practice examples
on gender responsive budgeting and to share experiences between
municipalities. In addition, city councils and local non-governmental organizations
in these provincesdistricts were visited.
In the third and final stage, the "Gender Responsive Budgeting Handbook"
was prepared to contribute to long-term capacity building in the Municipality
of Amasra on gender-sensitive budgeting. The handbook is also expected to
be used as a local advocacy tool.
We hope that the handbook will contribute to the dissemination and institutionalization
of gender-sensitive budgeting practices in municipalities. | en_US |
