Products made by participants of the "One Village - One Product" (OVOP) initiative, as well as by producers supported under the The Kyrgyz Republic Resilient Landscape Restoration Project (RESILAND Kyrgyzstan) and the RESILAND CA+ Program, are being showcased at the 5th Forum of Heads of Regions and the Sister Cities Meeting of the Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), taking place at Issyk-Kul.
As part of the Forum, an exhibition of domestic producers of the Kyrgyz Republic has been organized, featuring products from participants of the "One Village - One Product" (OVOP) initiative implemented under RESILAND Kyrgyzstan. The exhibition showcases handicrafts, felt and textile products, as well as other locally produced goods from regions across the country.
Participation in the Forum provides local producers with an opportunity to demonstrate the potential of regional products, expand business networks, and promote Kyrgyz-made products on an international platform.
