The first module “Gender and the introduction of the gender perspective in public policies” of the Basic training on gender, gender equality and the introduction of the gender perspective in public policies was held in the Resource Center for Gender Responsive Policy Making and Budgeting.

Civil servants employed in the ministries and with a relatively short working experience are included in the trainings, particularly people who started working in the institutions in the last three years, that is, participants who so far have not had the opportunity to delve deeper into the concepts of gender equality.

The topics covered were the basic gender concepts, the idea of including the gender perspective in strategic documents and public policies, what gender policy represents and the types of gender policies.

The trainings are organized by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy within the project “Promoting gender responsive policies and budgets: towards transparent, inclusive and accountable management in the Republic of North Macedonia” implemented by UN Women, with the financial support from Switzerland and Sweden.
