Gender Budget Watchdog Network (GBWN) has Public Call for Capacity Building and Sub-Granting in Gender Responsive Budgeting and Climate Change Financing by the Gender Budget Watchdog Network from N. Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro and Moldova.  

In the frame of the public call there are foreseen online and face to face trainings as part of the application process for sub granting. The face to face training is part of the application process.  The knowledge gained through the trainings should be used by applicants to develop a full project proposal with tailored assistance (mentoring guidance) from gender budgeting and climate finance experts and mentors from GBWN. 

The applicants of the sub-granting scheme have to relate application to gender-responsive budgeting and climate change financing, including gender analysis to inform expenditures, monitoring expenditures using gender impact analysis, or using other GRB tools.

• Gender in Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF), European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) green projects;
• Gender in national budget supported climate resilience projects;
• Gender in local budget climate change supported projects. 

The hired experts should prepare the “GRB and climate change financing” training in line with the above-mentioned financial mechanisms and forms of GRB and Climate Change financing. The tools and the methodology of the proposed training concept should include examples and case studies for funded projects (i.e Scaling up climate resilient flood risk management in Bosnia and Herzegovina).  

The experts should prepare training materials which will consist of PPTs, interactive learning tools, tests for successful finalization of the sections or whole training module, and lists with additional literature.
