The Global Initiative 'Ring the Bell for Gender Equality'
- Thursday, 07 March 2024
Uluk Kydyrbaev, the head of the Investment Council Secretariat, presented key points during the panel session "Accelerating Economic Progress" at the event "Investing in Women: Accelerating Economic Progress in the Kyrgyz Republic." The presentation focused on the strategic role of the private sector as a catalyst for inclusive growth, highlighting the potential to increase women's participation in the economy through entrepreneurship and the active implementation of gender parity principles in all aspects of economic development.
The event, organized in cooperation with the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange, IFC, and with the support of UN Women in Kyrgyzstan, emphasized the key role of the financial sector in promoting gender equality and achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
In his speech, Uluk Kydyrbaev particularly emphasized the need to overcome gender stereotypes, advocating for the creation of a favorable environment that facilitates gender-neutral opportunities. He stressed the importance of implementing educational programs to develop skills among girls in digitalization and the green economy, which will strengthen the economic status of women in society and called for the active role of the private sector as a driver of economic and gender progress.
Expressing his readiness for action, Uluk Kydyrbaev announced the possibility of creating an Advisory Group within the Secretariat of the Investment Council. This group will aim to unite the efforts of all stakeholders to provide an effective dialogue platform for discussing measures to ensure inclusiveness in all areas of economic life.
We are convinced that through the joint efforts of the government, the private sector, and international partners, the principle of gender parity will become the norm in the economy and society of the Kyrgyz Republic, opening new horizons for the country's sustainable development.
