Course description:
This course provides an introduction to how municipalities can integrate gender and human rights perspectives into their daily operations. The training covers their legal obligations, the main challenges they may encounter, and the conditions needed to achieve meaningful results.


Municipalities carry significant responsibility for incorporating gender and equality perspectives across all areas of their work— including human resource management, budgeting, and service provision. Because they operate in close proximity to their residents, municipalities are well positioned to fulfil these responsibilities across a wide range of sectors, such as HR, education, after‑school programmes, and sports and youth activities.
