Project codes: UNJP/KYR/026/PBF and UNJP/UZB/014/PBF
2025Also available in:
No results found.The final evaluation of the project "Shared prosperity through cooperation in border regions of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan", funded by the Peacebuilding Fund, analysed project activities implemented from 2022 to 2024 in 12 project sites in the Jalalabad and Osh regions of Kyrgyzstan and the Andijan and Namangan regions of Uzbekistan. The final evaluation found the project to be relevant to the strategic peacebuilding priorities of the two countries, as well as to the needs of border communities, both in terms of supporting economic cooperation and promoting social cohesion. The project was also quite effective in supporting the increase of new links and connections across beneficiary communities, as well as in strengthening business capacities of women and youth. Project’s efficiency was characterized by a two-speed implementation schedule, resulting in delays in executing some project activities, and provided a basis for a no-cost extension of six months. -
BookletGendered impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security, agricultural production, income and family relations in rural areas of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
Working Paper, 76

No results found.Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated containment measures implemented to control the spread of the virus have exacerbated existing gender inequalities. This paper explores changes in agriculture, food security, nutrition, and family dynamics in the rural areas of Central Asia – specifically, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan – during the pandemic, focusing on women and men. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative analyses, the findings reveal that rural women were disproportionally affected due to pre-existing gender disparities and limited decision-making power. Women experienced compounded challenges, including increased unpaid work, additional agricultural labour and household chores, difficulties associated with online schooling and healthcare management, limited access to agricultural resources, and a higher risk of domestic violence. The pandemic heightened women’s vulnerability to food insecurity, whereas Central Asian governments’ interventions failed to support all women effectively. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to guide future policymaking, aiming to mitigate shocks and stressors and develop gender-responsive actions that empower rural women and men. These recommendations focus on improving food security and overall well-being in the rural regions of Central Asia, recognizing and addressing the distinct challenges women faced during the pandemic. -
