Background: The Mission will further work on strengthening the inclusiveness and openness of municipalities through the project “Supporting the enhancement of good governance standards in Montenegro”. In doing so, the Mission will also put the emphasis on gender mainstreaming at the local level since good local governance must address gender equality and social inclusion. Gender equality is of utmost importance for the organization and the Mission is making efforts to strengthen the gender mainstreaming commitments at all levels. Between 2007 and 2015 the Mission and the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights (MoHMR) signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with all 23 Montenegrin municipalities to support the participation of women in public and political life of the country. This co-operation led to the establishment of the Municipal Gender Focal Point Network in 2013 and to numerous activities at the local level and will be further enhanced through specific activities, aiming both local and national level. As stated above, the Mission will offer a model of Local Action Plan for Gender Equality, offering it to the municipalities who lack capacities to develop this kind of document. Objective: The model will be offered to municipal Gender Focal Points for finalization and adoption in their respective municipalities. The Mission will also support one northern municipality in order to finalize the document, in cooperation with the working group delegated by the municipality. Deliverables:
