Gender Alliance for Development Center
Gender Alliance for Development Center
Gender Alliance for Development Center is a non-profit organization, established in 1995. We work towards equality between women and men in Albania. We realize this goal through advocacy, lobbying and training. With advocacy and lobbying we aim to improve the gender balance in decision making and prevent the discrimination against women. Trough training we spread our knowledge on gender and empower women.
Gender Alliance for Development Center (GADC) is licensed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in Albania as a resource center on gender issue. As a resource center we are continuously asked to review and comment on laws and policies relating to the ministry.
We are an experienced organization; we’ve been working for almost 15 years. During this time we’ve successfully implemented more than 30 projects. Every project we do is monitored and evaluated using specific indicators. This ensures that our projects are carried out to the highest professional standards. It also makes the work we do continuously measurable.
We work mainly in the fields of economic empowerment, governance, budgeting, violence against women, education, media, EU integration and gender mainstreaming. The experiences gained from our work has enabled us to fine tune our organization and find routines and methodologies that work and produce real results for the women of Albania.
We have through the years conducted gender trainings in many different fields. We have conducted trainings in areas ranging from governance to education, from budgeting to the empowerment of young women.
We have also published a wide range of books, training manuals and reports. Recently we published reports on the prevalence of Violence against Women in Albania and on Gender Budgeting best practices.
We work extensively with outside experts and other organizations. This increases our outreach and at the same time brings our gender knowledge to other organizations. Most of our work is done in collaboration with other actors. We have among others collaborated with UNIFEM, UNICEF, UNDP, European Commission, US Embassy to Albania, OSCE, University of Tirana, University of Shkodër. We also have a large network of experts and trainers in universities, government institutes and NGOs; in Tirana as well as in other districts. When realizing projects we draw upon the experiences and knowledge of these experts and trainers.
Since 2002 the GADC has, by its own request, been evaluated twice by external personnel. We continuously review our work and draw upon our experiences. Though we are professionally staffed some aspects of the GADC’s work is carried out by our well motivated volunteers. Most of our volunteers are university students, and we benefit greatly from their knowledge and motivation.
We maintain a library focused on gender. The library currently holds more than 2000 volumes on gender issues in psychology, sociology, political sciences and social work; to name a few. The library is open to the public and is the only one of its kind in Albania.
Our work brings real benefits to the people we work with and to society as a whole.
Our work empowers women and brings about positive change in society.
We believe that equal opportunity is essential for Albania’s further development.
