Creation of solid knowledge base and further capacity building on the basis of already gained skills and information are important and necessary preconditions to ensure overall effectiveness of work of the national machinery on gender equality. This can be achieved through conducting specialized training programmes for the target groups of social service agents (SSAs), policy-makers, including MPs and ministerial gender focal points, law enforcement representatives and NGO leaders. The mentioned trainings need to start from the basic level covering definitions of gender and gender based violence and further be narrowed down to more specific topics which should be geared to the participants needs and field of specialization.

As of 2011, the following results were achieved under UNFPA CGBV "Capacity Building" component:

• Trainings (ToTs)  for  12 reps of partner NGOs, 50 representatives of training community,10 police officers, 10 medical workers, ToT/ peer education for  45 students, and ToT for 20 clergy (in cooperation with ART FBO and Armenian Apostolic Church) were conducted;

• Thematic trainings were organized for 400 police officers, 80 journalists (20 for 2011), 400 medical workers, 100 social workers, and 20 psychologists;

• Trainings for  170 representatives of  the “national machinery on Gender Equality"and 400  representatives of  LSG Bodies, as well as trainings for  40 priests of Armenian Apostolic and Catholic churches (in cooperation with ART FBO  and Christian Education Center) were conducted;
