Descripción
Under the FAO-Türkiye Partnership Programmes, the "Leaving No One Behind" (LNOB) project has been advancing the socioeconomic empowerment of rural women in Uzbekistan since 2021. In Uzbekistan, with a specific focus on Boʻstonliq District, the initiative has equipped 48 rural women with skills in dairy production and beekeeping through tailored training sessions and technical consultations. Beneficiaries also received essential equipment to enhance income-generating opportunities. The project hosted workshops on marketing strategies and integrated local women into the Honey Festival, fostering knowledge exchange and market access.In alignment with Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, and 5, the LNOB project has strengthened institutional mechanisms and supported gender-responsive policies to empower rural women while addressing barriers such as informal employment and limited access to resources. Key milestones included the launch of Uzbekistan's Country Gender Assessment in Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods and a Central Asian Forum celebrating International Rural Women's Day in Tashkent.
