Description of project activities:

In 1997, an informal network of Adult Training Centres (ATCs) was established in Kyrgyzstan and was registered as the Kyrgyz Adult Education Association (KAEA) in 2006.
Over the past 10 years, DVV International supported various capacity building activities of particular ATCs as well as macro level engagement of the Kyrgyz Adult Education Association. These actions include further training of the ATCs staff on networking, fundraising, Adult Education methods and approaches, technical support as well as the development of curricula and learning materials.
Moreover particular Centres representatives participate at regional and international conferences and forums, related
to the promotion of Adult Education and Lifelong Learning.

Results

This activity resulted in diversifying learning offers for the population in rural areas, expanding the international partner network and ensuring sustainability of the ATCs.
In the present, DVV International supports only particular capacity building activities for some of the Centres.

The Association now has 10 active members, providing adults with vocational and personal development training courses in the country.
