The OSCE-GWNET Mentoring Program on Empowering Central Asian Women in Renewable Energy

Video Clip

To empower women as agents of change in the energy transition, in 2022 the OSCE and GWNET launched the very first mentoring program supporting Central Asian women employed in this increasingly important sector for the economies of the region. Following a competitive selection process, 30 women professionals now engage regularly with mentors from all over the world to discuss the challenges they face in the energy sector and identify best ways to address them and advance their careers. We asked them what challenges they face as women professionals in the energy sector, why it is important to advance women’s participation in this industry, and how the OSCE program is unlocking their potential as sustainable energy Ambassadors in Central Asia.
