Over the course of two days, the participants gained new knowledge and practical skills regarding the key aspects of NGO activities - fundraising and resources, advocacy and communication campaigns, partnerships and implementation of joint projects, taking into account the principles of feminist organizational development. "There was a lot of new information, examples and useful discussions. She took new ideas and tools for herself.

And the event deepened the understanding of the women's movement in the recovery processes; created a space for the exchange of experience between public organizations; formed a road map for further steps for participants regarding the development of NGOs in accordance with the principles of feminist and gender-inclusive recovery.
