At the end of the cycle, trainees fill an assessment to express their suggestions to improve this project and to receive the training materials (manuals, research papers and PowerPoint presentations).

Soon ECWR will launch the second online training cycle "Local Councils and Participation in Decision Making Process". This cycle is part of ECWR’s project "Enhancing Women’s Capacities for Effective Participation in Local Councils in Egypt", implemented in partnership with the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). The project aims to enhance the capacities of female local council candidates and to strengthen their engagement with local NGO’s in eight different governorates in Egypt.
