Problems for gender equality still exist in Georgia but can be completely eliminated through joint efforts of the Government, civil society and the NGO sector. Such a statement made the Mayor of Tbilisi at a conference organised by the National Association of Local Authorities of Georgia.

“Supporting gender equality is one of the main priorities for the National Association of Local Authorities of Georgia. To this end, we [the City Hall and the Association] have created the Gender Equality Platform to further strengthen coordination between central and local Governments, as well as between the municipalities themselves”, - said Kakha Kaladze.

He stressed the importance of the close cooperation between the NALAG, Governmental and non-governmental sectors, as well as international organisations.
