Why Is The Project Needed?
The project elevates an advocacy campaign against water scarcity by strengthening local BMOs/CSOs, improving communication, and enhancing visibility. It involves creating a virtual PPD platform centred on water conservation within the Green Deal. A film will inform and promote public-private dialogue, showcase successful campaigns, and enhance CSOs‘ professionalism and visibility.
How Will The Project Achieve Its Objectives?
The project operates in three clusters across the Fergana Valley, Djizzakh, and Surkhandarya regions, with outcomes disseminated nationwide and in Brussels. Cluster 1 focuses on engaging 30 rural communities, establishing virtual hubs, and devising development plans in line with the Green Deal and SDGs. Cluster 2 emphasizes capacity building through a documentary film, thematic festival, and networking activities. Cluster 3 aims to enhance civil community capacity through PPD training, workshops, member involvement, and evaluation for continuous improvement. Overall, the project targets sustainable development, advocacy, and knowledge dissemination in Uzbekistan and internationally.
Who Will Be Involved In The Project?
The beneficiaries of the project include over 25,000 individuals in rural communities, with a particular focus on environmental and water-related issues, including youth, women, and young parents. The broader civil society of Uzbekistan will also benefit. Stakeholders encompass rural activists, local specialists, NGOs, BMOs, and CSOs, totalling over 50 grassroots organizations. Additionally, mass media, rural educational and social institutions (over 30 organizations), and vulnerable groups (over 300 individuals) such as people with disabilities, single mothers, and the elderly are stakeholders. Village councils, authorities, and government bodies (over 30) are also key stakeholders involved in the project.
