“Mainstreaming gender aspects into the work of public servants is crucial for promoting equality, improving policy effectiveness, and fostering sustainable development,. We trust that this significant initiative, supported by the UNDP partner, the Canadian Government, will strengthen the country's capacity for gender equality and women's empowerment, aligning with the National Action Plans for Human Rights and Gender Equality in Turkmenistan (2021-2025).”
Tomica Paovic, UNDP Officer-in-Charge in Turkmenistan

The course is expected to equip public servants with a comprehensive understanding of gender equality concepts and international standards, enhance their ability to incorporate gender considerations into public policies, and empower them to actively promote gender-responsive governance in Turkmenistan.
