Women and Water in Central Asia and South Asia: Building a Sustainable Future
11 December, 2015 @ 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Funded by the US State Department for 2013-2015, this project connected women in Central and South Asia to water and its management, and proposed a program of international exchange of knowledge and leadership to support innovative conflict resolution with a sustainable and multiplying effect. To this end, it brought together young female social entrepreneurs and activists from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, to discuss their experiences and innovative solutions on community-level water management, enhance their competencies and leadership skills, and expose them to U.S institutions and the policy community working on water management and gender issues. This was accomplished through in-person and virtual exchanges in the Central and South Asian region and Washington, DC, video and web content production, and curriculum development.
