Name: National Commission for Promotion of Equality (NCPE, Malta)

Abstract:
The aims of this initiative were: to disseminate the promotion of gender equality and gender mainstreaming in local development. This was done through educational and publicity campaigns that were implemented at the Local Council level; to develop tools, such as training presentations and promotional materials, in order to entice citizens to discuss the roles of women and men in public and private life. Various Local Councils, organisations that operate on a local and/or regional level, religious institutions and ultimately the citizens themselves have been gender sensitised; to educate local authorities and citizens about the negative impact of gender roles and stereotypes and showing the benefits of gender mainstreaming, to promote a gender-balanced participation in society and as a result, increase economic productivity; to strengthen the impact of gender mainstreaming at community level and to share good practices on equality with transnational partners.
