| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The Kyrgyz Republic declared a three-year nationwide energy emergency due to the energy crisis associated with climate challenges, low water inflow in river basin, and lack of generating capacity in the face of rapidly outstripping growth in energy consumption. The Gender Council is a newly established body under the Ministry of Energy since late 2022 which aims to strengthen women's participation in the energy sector. The Gender Council's mission is aligned with the National Gender Equality Strategy until 2030 and the National Action Plan for 2022-2024. | ||||
