The first workshop, on “working in a team” was held from 17-18 August, 2023 and the second workshop took place from 25-27 August 2023. Both events were held in Khujand, the Sughd region.
The workshops aimed to support the Women Forum of Syrdarya River in promoting women’s equal participation in water resources management and governance. Participants were familiarized with ways to work harmoniously in teams and collaborate effectively. They also learned how to develop a workable five-year strategic plan to advance the Women Forum of Syrdarya River.
The Women Forum of Syrdarya River was established in 2019 with the ultimate aim of involving grassroots women into decision-making processes pertaining to Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The Office’s support to this initiative is part of its ongoing work to promote women's equal participation in public and political life in Tajikistan.
From 19 to 22 August 2023, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe (Office), jointly with Tajikistan’s Committee for Environmental Protection, organized the Youth Eco – School. The four-day event was attended by 25 young people, of which 14 were female participants.
The Youth Eco-School serves a platform for dialogue and exploration of the pressing global environmental challenges with a specific focus on climate change and air pollution. Participants were able to deepen their understanding of the interconnection between these two key issues. During the events, participants had an opportunity to participate in the exhibition of energy-efficient technologies and devices using solar power, including solar parabolic kitchens, solar lighting systems, and energy-saving food ovens, provided by the NGO Little Earth.
On the final day of the event, the participants made their “eco oath”, committing themselves to be more environmentally friendly and contribute to a sustainable future. In his congratulatory speech to the participants, Mr. Mavlodod Abduqodir, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Environmental Protection, highlighted the important role of the Tajik young people in addressing environmental challenges in the country and encouraged them to continue working together on climate action. Rati Japaridze, OSCE Officer-in-Charge, stressed the importance of addressing environmental challenges at an early age and noted in particular the importance of tackling climate change.
The event is part of the activities set out in the Action Plan of the State Program for the Development of Education and Environmental Awareness of the Population (2021-2025).
The Office will continue to support initiatives that promote Tajik youth involvement in good environmental governance.
