You should plan your actions in a way that benefits all residents and ensures that everyone feels included. Local authorities must provide services within their mandate, and the broader, higher-quality, and more inclusive these services are, the better life will be for everyone. This approach also prevents residents from seeking services in other communities,\u201d said Ashot Giloyan, addressing the LSG representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the first day, LSG and CSO representatives from Armavir and Talin discussed the goals of the workshop and mapped their expectations with the support of a gender expert. Participants were introduced to community development processes and the principles of gender-sensitive budgeting. The theoretical sessions were followed by group work, during which participants developed and presented gender-sensitive initiatives proposed for the 2026 community budgets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-9849 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/en\/news\/local-communities-and-gender-responsive-budgeting-a-capacity-building-workshop\/attachment\/dsc_0222-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-170x170.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0222-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/en\/news\/local-communities-and-gender-responsive-budgeting-a-capacity-building-workshop\/attachment\/dsc_0364\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-170x170.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0364-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/en\/news\/local-communities-and-gender-responsive-budgeting-a-capacity-building-workshop\/attachment\/dsc_0381\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-170x170.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oxygen.org.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_0381-800x800.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second day began with continued group work, focusing on the practical aspects of implementing gender-sensitive initiatives within the 2026 community budgets.
