Promote gender equality and women’s empowerment through strengthened implementation of gender mainstreaming in local public policies, and to combat domestic violence affecting women and children.

"EVA" will focus on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment through strengthened implementation of gender mainstreaming in local public policies and combating domestic violence affecting women and children in two focal regions: Ungheni and Cahul. The programme will support the main municipalities and other localities from the two districts by targeting necessary improvements in two areas: in the gender equality field – by strengthening capacities of local public authorities and civil society organizations, raising awareness and educating the public on GE and empowering women in local decision-making processes, and in the ending violence against women and children field – by improving the capacity and assessment tools of multi-disciplinary specialist response and services, empowering domestic violence survivors, piloting prevention programs in schools and communities, as well as raising the capacities of local CSOs.
