The on-line training curriculum will include 4 modules and 2 videos with practical assignments and theoretical readings: Direct beneficiaries: 40 members of women NGOs in Lithuania, indirect beneficiaries – 2,000 members of civil society and academia. Online training curriculum prepared. 3 videos instead of 2 prepared. Direct beneficiaries: 63 members of women NGO’s in Lithuania, indirect beneficiaries – 35 852 members of general society. Instead of sending online program for self training to 40 representative of women NGO’s we invited them all to join trainings of activity No. 2. Activity 2.

Outcomes: 2-day, 16 hour trainings. Direct beneficiaries: 63 women – members of NGO umbrella organizations. Because of COVID – 19 restrictions 2 day live workshops were divided to 4 workshops online, each workshop being 4 hours long. As we had opportunity to reach more women NGO’s in remote areas, instead of just sending 40 women NGO’s online program, we invited all 63 to join online and participate in trainings. So these restrictions worked to the benefit of participants.

Outcome: 115 - 230 local women leaders trained and empowered to implement WPS agenda in their communities. 166 local women leaders were trained by participants of the trainings facilitated under project Activity 2. Majority of workshops because of COVID – 19 restrictions took place online. This did not cause any problems for trainings as during training of trainers workshops experts shared information on how to conduct women peace and security workshops online. Activity 4. Hosting First ever Women Leadership Forum on Women Peace and Security Marking the Progress on 20 years Anniversary of UN Resolution 1325 (with participation of NGOs from Nordic – Baltic countries as well as Ukraine and Moldova).

This conference was a success, recognized by multiple decision makers from Lithuania and the U.S. that participated in the event.

Forming a group of leaders implementing WPS agenda: women leaders for sustainable peace and security Group formed under Lithuanian Women Lobby Gender Based Violence Committee. Members of the group consist partially from participants of trainers workshop under project activity No. 2. Group activities were presented during meetings with Lithuanian Women’s Lobby members. Formed group had a meeting with representatives of MFA responsible for implementation of WPS agenda in Lithuania. During the meeting group members expressed how women NGO’s could practically participate in implementation of National Action Plan on implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 on women peace and security. Meeting with MFA showed that cooperation is so necessary if we want to implement UNSC Resolution 1325 on the ground and de facto involve local women leaders in peace building efforts.

- 73. Problems solved
- 74. Problem Solution provided by the program 1) Every third women in Lithuania experiences gender-based violence, with the estimated cost of violence each year at 600,000 euros 1) During training for trainers workshops Dalia Leinarte explained how women NGO’s can be more active in reporting cases of gender – based violence where state did not support victims to CEDAW. This is one of very important tools that women NGO’s could use long after the end of the project. Also women NGO’s gained knowledge on dynamics of GBV among migrant women, who’s numbers are increasing due to crisis in Belarus. 2) Lithuania scored very low for its progress in achieving gender equality, only earning 55.5 points according to 2019 Gender Equality Index 2) Project activities enhanced leadership competences in the area of women, peace and security and will become better advocates. 3) Women are underrepresented in power and decision-making positions 3) Women NGO leaders learned how to train subject of leadership for local women leaders. Strong leadership competences and ability to represent needs of local women could potentially result in more women participating in local elections. 4) Lack of knowledge of the WPS agenda among local NGO’s and civil society, which results in slow implementation of the NAP. 4) In this project focused on addressing these challenges by conducting an extensive training program for Lithuanian leaders to implement the WPS agenda locally and nationally. After the project MFA (main institution responsible for implementation of WPS agenda can advise women NGO’s and involve them as experts in practical implementation of the agenda.
