The overall objective of the action is to encourage gender-responsive planning that responds to the different needs of women and men at local level.

The action will be aimed at including gender in the programming through concrete interventions on three fronts: 1) Improving the accountability of local governments in implementing their commitments to gender equality, 2) Empowering local women and men to express their needs and priorities through the process of participative planning, and 3) Strengthening local stakeholders with capacities for monitoring the gender-responsive planning process.
