Gender and RWEE
in Kyrgyzstan

RWEE

The GALS process in Kyrgyzstan is funded by IFAD and implemented by CDA and UNWomen as part of the Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment Programme of IFAD, UNWomen, FAO and World Food Programme.

RWEE consists of:

1) Economic Empowerment:  support to rural women organized in self-help groups to help overcome stereotypes regarding womenโ€™s inability to manage effective agricultural production.

2) Female Leadership and Participation: working with local government, pasture committees and water use associations

3) Enabling Policy Environment: improving statistics on women’s economic participation

Gender Action Learning for Sustainability (GALS) was introduced by IFAD as a Household Methodology in order to strengthen women members position in the household, changing gender inequalities so that they could increase incomes and fully participate in the RWEE Womens’ Associations.
