And about. The UNDP Resident Representative in Turkmenistan, Mr. Tomica Paovic, noted:

“Integrating a gender perspective into the work of public servants is critical to promoting equality, improving policy effectiveness and achieving sustainable development. We are confident that this important initiative, supported by UNDP partner the Government of Canada, will strengthen the country’s capacity in the field of gender equality and women’s empowerment, in line with the National Action Plans for Human Rights and Gender Equality in Turkmenistan (2021-2025).”
