The way we work with local organizations is twofold. First, we do it through dialogue and engagement with local organizations. We have launched a so-called structure dialogue with civil society organizations where gender equality and GBV feature very prominently as cross cutting issues. And that structure dialogue has now a membership of more than 100 organizations, including local organizations representing. Representing basically all parts of the country of the country. The second thing is of course financial support. And in terms of financial support, we have quite a lot that we have initiated in the past couple of years. Hiking year 2 of course is is probably the most significant one in terms of budgets that we allocate to local organizations working on a range of human rights issues including but not limited to combating GBV.
