The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will finance certified computer courses for 240 Tajik women. It is reported that the training will help them gain access to market skills in information technology and improve their employment opportunities. This will also help address the issue of computer literacy, which affects all Central Asian countries, where only 11 percent of the population possesses computer skills.

To this end, the EBRD will provide the microfinance organization MDO “Humo” in Tajikistan with a loan of 2 million dollars, aimed at increasing the resilience of domestic micro and small enterprises and creating new jobs. As part of the project, “Humo” will collaborate with a local vocational school to conduct certified computer training.

The announcement does not specify whether other activities are planned within this project, or if the entire amount will be allocated solely for financing computer courses for 240 women.
