The EU TACSO 3 project is pleased to invite you to participate in the Gender mainstreaming training programme for FSTP implementers. In this training programme, we primarily aim to target CSOs who are implementing EU-funded re-granting programmes (Financial Support for Third Parties, FSTP) as well as CSOs who are interested in developing and implementing FSTP programmes in the future.
The main objective of the training programme is to improve CSOs grant-making practice through mainstreaming gender equality that affects the whole cycle of grant-making – from identification of needs, developing funding/selection criteria, selection of applications, providing ongoing support/mentoring and assessing results/impact. The training programme will also provide an opportunity to share experiences on challenges encountered and lessons learned.
Through better grant-making, the aim is to ensure that grant support leads to improved outcomes for gender equality in whichever field of activity.
Specific objectives:
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Conduct self-assessment and prepare good quality gender analysis during the proposal writing procedure.
- Explain the key principles and fundamental steps of mainstreaming gender equality.
- Design gender-sensitive calls for application and selection processes within their FSTP projects.
- Strengthen the capacities of FSTP implementers so as to fully implement gender equality in the planning, implementation and, monitoring & evaluation processes of FSTP projects.
- Promote experience sharing and networking among FSTP implementers from the Western Balkans and Türkiye at the regional, multi-country level.
