Kyrgyz women share experiences with rural Afghan women19.11.2013The Agency for Development Initiatives (ADI), a network of women self-help groups in Kyrgyzstan, is hosting a group of Afghan women, who arrived on 19 November 2013 for a seven-day visit. The Afghan women are keen to learn the experience of Kyrgyz rural women on social mobilization, economic empowerment and peacemaking. The week-long programme ADI developed for the group includes workshops, roundtable discussions and field trips to villages. The Mountain Partnership Hub at the University of Central Asia (UCA) is hosting three meetings for the women with various UCA departments in addition to a learning session for UCA, Aga Khan Development Network, Aga Khan Foundation staff and other Mountain Partnership partners, in which participants will exchange information and knowledge on gender-related issues. The visit, with support from the UN Development Programme’s Afghanistan office, sees the participation of officials from the Afghan Ministry of Women Affairs and 15 civil society representatives from the Afghan provinces of Bamyan, Balkh, Herat and Nangarhar. |
