East-West Management Institute

East-West Management Institute This leads to more just and prosperous societies. EWMI’s approach translates democratic aspirations into embedded practice.

East-West Management Institute works to strengthen democratic societies by bringing together government, civil society, and the private sector – to build accountable, capable and transparent institutions. Founded in 1988, as an independent not-for-profit organization, EWMI’s work began the year before the wall came down, with the challenge of crafting functioning democratic systems in transitionin

g post-soviet societies. We learned – in our initial work across central and eastern europe, and in the decades that followed around the world - that a collaborative approach involving civil society, government and the private sector is the key to ensuring that citizens exercise their rights, and institutions are accountable for protecting them. EWMI specializes in targeted, locally relevant initiatives that foster partnerships, and cross-sector collaboration, from assisting the state and local advocates in policy creation and reform to engaging in court administration, local economic development and technical support to civil society. EWMI does not offer off-the-shelf or cookie cutter solutions to these issues, because it appreciates from experience that each local context is unique. EWMI ensures the following ingredients are always part of its policy and operating initiatives because they help foster cooperation and mutually compatible solutions:

Accountability: The obligation to accept responsibility and account for actions and decisions. Capacity: The facility or power to produce, perform, or deploy. Transparency: The quality that makes something obvious, open or easy to understand. EWMI’s success is based on over 25 years of pragmatic field experience in over 30 countries. EWMI’s dedicated multi-lingual, multi-cultural staff works with local partners to craft appropriate solutions for their unique situations. EWMI always places local partners first.

We are happy to support Kosova Women's Network’s initiative to strengthen institutional response to gender based violence at the local government level.

Përfaqësueset e Rrjetit të Grave të Kosovës zhvilluan një takim me Nënkryetaren e Komunës së Suharekë, Arta Gashi, dhe Zyrtaren për Barazi Gjinore, Habibe Bytyqi. Në takim morën pjesë Drejtorja Ekzekutive e RrGK, Igballe Rogova, dhe Drejtorja e Programit, Adelina Berisha.

Gjatë këtij takimi u diskutuan mundësitë e bashkëpunimit ndërmjet komunës dhe RrGK, me fokus të veçantë në avancimin e buxhetimit të përgjegjshëm gjinor në nivel komunal, si një mjet kyç për të siguruar që politikat dhe shpenzimet publike adresojnë nevojat e grave dhe burrave në mënyrë të barabartë. Po ashtu, u diskutua rëndësia e fuqizimit të mekanizmave lokalë për parandalimin dhe adresimin e dhunës ndaj grave dhe vajzave, përmes koordinimit më të fortë institucional dhe mbështetjes së qëndrueshme.

Takimi shërbeu gjithashtu për të identifikuar fusha të tjera me rëndësi për barazinë gjinore, duke riafirmuar gatishmërinë për bashkëpunim të vazhdueshëm në funksion të avancimit të të drejtave të grave dhe integrimit të perspektivës gjinore në politikat dhe programet komunale.

Ky takim është realizuar në kuadër të projektit "Rritja e kapaciteteve dhe mekanizmave për adresimin e dhunës me bazë gjinore" në partneritet me East-West Management Institute
