This week, GRÓ LRT in collaboration with GRÓ GEST, conducted a three-day training course titled "Gender, the Environment, and Sustainable Land Management" in Kyrgyzstan. The course was tailored for the staff of Camp Alatoo Foundation, comprising 16 natural resources management experts.
The training delved into effective integration of gender equality and climate considerations into the design and implementation of sustainable land management projects. It aimed to address both practical and strategic gender needs. The course facilitators were Dr. Audrey Ingólfsdóttir, founder and manager of Transformia (a consulting firm), and Védís Sigrúnardóttir Ólafsdóttir, project manager at GRÓ GEST. Dr Audrey has previously served as a lecturer and project supervisor in the GRÓ LRT and GRÓ GEST six-month training programmes.
