Village Empowerment
From January 11th to 29th 2024 IRDP project provided a ToT (Training of Trainers). IRDP ToT involves experienced trainers guiding and equipping new trainers with vital expertise, empowering them to educate their communities about gender equality and financial literacy.
It is a key component of our approach to community development. This focuses on two fundamental principles below.
1. Gender equality training: Understanding the importance of creating inclusive communities, the trainings delve into the principles of gender equality. Participants will gain insight into how to break down stereotypes, promote inclusion and ensure equal opportunity for all. The goal is to empower our trainers to become trainers for change in their villages.
2. Financial literacy training: Financial well-being is the constant core of individual and societal prosperity. The financial literacy training covers important concepts such as budgeting, saving, and making sound financial decisions. By providing our coaches with these skills, we strive to empower them to help others make smart financial choices that will contribute to the overall development of the community.
The ToT is a strategic investment in the future of villages in the Kyrgyz Republic. By building the capacity of local leaders, IRDP strives to create self-sustaining progress in which people become advocates for their communities. It is believed to be a testament to the project’s commitment to driving positive change. Through this, the project is expecting sustainable training and empowerment in villagers in the future.
A face-to-face preparatory session was held at A. Tokombaev School Complex in Kamyshanovka village, Kok-Chu Community Development Project (CDP), as part of the Global Youth Network (GYN) program. Students received orientation and preparation for upcoming exchange activities and actively participated in the first sessions of the program. During the meeting, participants introduced themselves, shared information about their schools and interests, and actively engaged in communication and experience-sharing activities.
Global Youth Network is an international program of Good Neighbors International that brings together children and young people from different countries to promote global citizenship, leadership, and social responsibility. The project aims to increase awareness of global challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while developing collaboration, communication, and active civic engagement skills among youth.
Participants will take part in a series of training sessions and practical activities designed to strengthen their understanding of global issues and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as to develop leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
Through participation in the program, students are expected to expand their knowledge of global challenges, enhance their communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, and become more active contributors to addressing issues within their communities.
