Kvinnoforum in collaboration with SIPU International are reinitiating a project concerning regional planning with gender budgeting in the Northern region of the country, especially in the provinces Imbabura, Sucumbios and Esmeraldas. The project was initiated last August, but its commencement delayed for several months due to a lack of a signed agreement between Ecuador and Sweden.
One of the main tasks in this project is Gender budgeting, to which Kvinnoforum has engaged one of the most prestigious experts on the subject Bethsabé Andia from Ecuador. In this project Kvinnoforum/SIPU International will work very closely with CONAMU- Comisión Nacional de la Mujer, and one of the first activities, (approx. in July), will be to train the main office personnel of CONAMU in negotiation and sensibility strategies and technical gender budgeting in Quito, Ecuador.
