On 28 February 2026, the two-year project “Promoting Gender Transformative Communities through Civil Participation” 🤝, co-funded by the European Union 🇪🇺 (European Union in Uzbekistan) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) 🇩🇪 (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ)), was completed. The project was implemented by the DVV branch in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 in partnership with the “SABR” National Center for Socio-Economic Development. Its aim was to empower civil society organizations of Uzbekistan to engage as independent actors of inclusive and effective democratic governance and development 🌍. Within the project, a platform was established for collaboration among civil society organizations, local authorities, representatives of mahalla citizens’ assemblies, and active residents 🤝, aimed at promoting a gender-transformative approach ⚖️, including expanding women’s participation in public and economic life 👩‍💼. In the final days of the project, a video was produced 🎥 and broadcast on national television 📺, highlighting the relevance and significance of the results achieved. It presents real stories of women 👩 who, thanks to the support of the project, were able to overcome obstacles, realize their potential, and take an active role in public and economic life (▶️▶️▶️the video is available at: https://clck.ru/3SURWx). We would like to thank all our partners, participants and experts for their contribution, trust and collaboration 🙏. #GenderCommunityEngagement#EU4UZ#dvvinternational#DVVInternationalUz#SABR_ncsedUZ
