Scope of the program and training for officials
According to the draft resolution, the program focuses on training state and municipal employees in climate policy, sustainable development, and climate change adaptation. Beyond the civil service, the plan includes updating educational standards across all levels, from kindergartens to universities, including professional and vocational training.
The initiative also intends to support scientific research and the training of specialists in fields such as meteorology, hydrology, climatology, and agrometeorology, while conducting public awareness campaigns.
Funding requirements
The total financial requirement for the program is estimated at 283.1 million soms. However, current confirmed funding is lower, covering a significant portion of the necessary resources through state budget allocations.
Financial breakdown in soms
The state budget portion includes current expenses and the salaries of the personnel involved in implementing the program.
Context
