JIA Business Association in cooperation with the program "Green Economy and Sustainable Development of the Private Sector in the Kyrgyz Republic" implemented by GIZ with co-financing from BMZ, EU and the Government of Switzerland is launching a project that aims to promote green technologies and sustainable development in the private sector.
 
The project aims to promote green technologies and sustainable development in Kyrgyzstan and includes training of green consultants for SMEs, the "Zhashyl Ishker - Ayim" initiative to support women entrepreneurs in implementing environmentally friendly technologies, and the "Zhashyl Tolkun" competition for university and lyceum students to develop and implement green solutions.

"This project focuses on creating opportunities for SMEs and women entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan. The initiatives aim to provide them with advanced knowledge, resources to implement green technologies and sustainable business practices. We aim to strengthen their ability to adapt to environmental challenges, which in turn will strengthen their competitiveness and contribute to a more sustainable economic future for the entire country." - Azzambek Jeenbai uulu, Executive Director of JIA.

The project will lead to significant improvements in the green economy in Kyrgyzstan. Following training and certification, at least 28 consultants will be able to effectively support SMEs in the regions by providing advice on sustainable business practices. New consulting services will be introduced to facilitate the transition to green technologies, increasing the capacity of women entrepreneurs to develop and implement environmentally friendly solutions. In addition, a competition among students will provide a platform for implementing the best green projects, and participants will receive real opportunities for internships and employment in environmentally-oriented companies.
