Online webinar “Digital agriculture”

Posted on May 30, 2023November 26, 2023 by kyrgyzisoc

Date: May 30

Time: 16:00

Speaker: Kozhomberdiev Zhyrgalbek Altymyshovich an expert on the use of digital methods and innovative technologies in agriculture of the public foundation “CAMP Alatoo”.

Kyrgyzstan has emerged as an agrarian nation, with a significant portion of its rural population engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture. Approximately 40 percent of the workforce is employed in the agricultural sector, which contributes to 20 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. In light of this, our upcoming webinar will focus on the subject of digital agriculture, as digitalization plays a vital role in the country’s overall development, particularly in the agricultural domain.

The modern agricultural revolution encompasses the integration of advanced information technologies (IT), which not only reduce manual labor and costs but also enhance productivity. Nowadays, computers are not the sole representatives of modern agricultural technologies. Digital advancements enable the comprehensive monitoring of the entire plant cultivation or animal husbandry process through “smart” devices that measure and transmit valuable data regarding soil conditions, vegetation growth, and microclimate. Additionally, mobile or online applications empower farmers and agronomists to determine the optimal time for planting or harvesting crops, calculate suitable fertilizer schemes, and even forecast future harvest yields.

“Opportunities for girls in technology” II International Forum

Posted on April 27, 2023June 22, 2023 by kyrgyzisoc

27-апрелде Бишкекте “Борбор Азиядагы кыз-келиндерге маалыматтык-технологиядагы мүмкүнчүлүктөр” аталышындагы экинчи эл аралык форум өттү. Форумда жергиликтүү жана эл аралык эксперттер жана маалыматтаык-технология тармагындагы ийгиликтүү айымдар өз тажрыйбаларын бөлүшүп, космоско кантип спутник учурса болот, жасалма интеллектти кантип багынта алабыз, дүйнө талап кылган кесиптер жана алардын келечеги кандай, социалдык тармактарды кандайча пайдага колдоно алабыз, интернетте өзүн коргоо эмнеге керек, заманбап жашоодо финансылык сабаттуулук эмне үчүн маанилүү деген сыяктуу бир нече актуалдуу темалардын айланасында маалымат бөлүшүштү.

Бул иш-чара дүйнөнүн 195 өлкөсүндө белгиленип келе жаткан “Маалыматтык-байланыш технологиясындагы кыздар” күнүнүн урматына карата уюштурулду.

Форумда КРнын Санариптик өнүктүрүү министринин орун басары Индира Шаршенова сөз сүйлөп, маалыматтык-технология багытында кыз-келиндердин потенциалы чексиз экенин айтып берди:

“Биздин өлкөдө ITге байланыштуу мамлекеттик кызматтардын 15% айымдар башкарат. Андан сырткары, 5% код жазган айымдар бар. Бул да болсо жакшы көрсөткүч. Айымдар баштаган иш-чаралар, демилгелер ийгиликке жетип, жакшы көрсөткүч көрсөтүп келет. Бирок, өнүккөн технология алыскы региондогу кыз-келиндерге да мүмкүнчүлүк бериши керек. Мисалы, алар кол өнрчүлүк, сүт продукцияларын чыгарып же ж.б. өздөрүнүн продукцияларын электрондук коммерция аркылуу сата алышат. Демек, биз өлкөнүн бардык аймактарында маалыматтык-технологиялык көндүмдөрдү өздөштүргөндү үйрөтүшүбүз керек”.

Ал эми “Эл аралык электр байланыш союзунун” КМШ өлкөлөрү боюнча регионалдык жетекчиси Наталья Мочу:

“Аялдарда жана кыздарда эч кандай чек жок жана алардын таланттары бар экенин билип, керектүү билимге ээ болууга умтулуп, бүгүнкү санариптик дүйнөгө катышууга толук укуктуу”,- деп баса белгиледи.

“Интернет Коомунун кыргыз бөлүмүнүн” төрагасы Талант Султанов, кыз-келиндерди колдоо багытындагы иш-аракеттери менен ой бөлүштү:

“Интернет коомунун кыргыз бөлүмүнүн принциптери тууралуу айткым келип турат. Биринчи, бул алгач кыздар үчүн деген принцип. Иш-чараларды уюштурууда алгач кыздарга кызыктуу, пайдалуубу деген ой суроо менен баштайбыз. Экинчи, региондор үчүн биринчи деген принцип. Биз өткөргөн иш-чаралардын 1% гана бүгүнкүдөй шаарда өтөт, калган 99% региондордо уюштурабыз. Эмки жылкы форумду балким биз Ошто өткөрөбүз. Кийинки принцип, бул биринчи кыргыз тилинде болсун дейбиз. Анткени, санариптешүү тармагында кыргызча маалыматтар абдан аз”, – деди Т. Султанов.

Форум гибриддик форматта өттү. Ага дүйнөнүн жана Кыргызстандын бардык булуң-бурчунан 200дөн ашык жаран катышты. Алардын арасында студенттер, тигүүчүлөр, мигранттар, окуучулар, мугалимдер, тарбиячылар жана үй кожейкелери болду.

«Борбор Азиядагы кыз-келиндерге маалыматтык-технологиядагы мүмкүнчүлүктөр” форумунун максаты, жаштарды, кыздарды, өзгөчө алыскы айыл-аймактардагы кыз-келиндерди окууга жана технологиялык билим алууга шыктандыруу, инклюзивдүү жана гендердик санариптик ажырымды түшүнүүгө көмөктөшүү, STEM билимин жана санариптик көндүмдөрдү окутууну жактоо, ошондой эле кыздарды жана жаш аялдарды МКТ тармагында карьера жасоого үндөө болуп саналат. Бул көндүмдөргө таянып, кыз-келиндердин социалдык-экономикалык мүмкүнчүлүктөрүн жогорулатуу аркылуу туруктуу өнүгүүгө жол ачуу узак мөөнөттүү максаттарыбыздын бири.

Форум КРнын Билим берүү жана илим министрлиги, КРнын Санариптик өнүктүрүү министрлиги, “Эл аралык электр байланыш союзу” (ITU) жана “Интернет коомунун кыргыз бөлүмүнүн”(ISOC) кызматташуусу менен уюштурулду.

Дүйнөдө “Маалыматтык-байланыш технологиясындагы кыздар” күнү 2011-жылдан бери белгиленип келет. Соңку маалыматка ылайык, бул 12 жыл аралыгында 195 өлкөдө белгиленип, ага жалпысынан 600 000ден ашык кыз-келиндер катыша алышты.

How does the “Sanarip Insan” project contribute to supporting the Kyrgyz government’s digitization efforts?

Posted on March 22, 2023June 23, 2023 by kyrgyzisoc

Kyrgyzstan has actively pursued digitalization over the past decade. In 2018, the country adopted the “National Strategy for Sustainable Development –2040,” which identified building a digital state as crucial for the country’s future. The key component of the strategy was the Taza Koom Digital Transformation Program, which later evolved into the five-year program “Sanarip Kyrgyzstan” (Digital Kyrgyzstan). The years 2018, 2019 and 2020 were designated as the “Years of Development and Digitalization of Regions.”

Under the President Sadyr Zhaparov, digitalization has become a key area of sustainable development. On September 7, 2022, President Sadyr Zhaparov officially stated that “Digitalization is the main trend in world development today. Kyrgyzstan is actively undergoing digitalization in public administration, economy, education, and the social sectors.”

The “Sanarip Insan” project, supported by the European Union, aims to enhance the country’s capacity by creating an ecosystem and enabling environment, providing digital skills training to various segments of the population, particularly to women and youth in rural areas. It also aims to support the government’s efforts in increasing employment opportunities, fostering entrepreneurship, reducing inequality, and promoting inclusive, innovative, and sustainable economic development.

The project aligns with the national policy of modernizing the education system through the inclusive and effective use of information and communication technologies in relevant institutions, educational establishments, and advanced training programs. It emphasizes the widespread adoption of best practices using innovative tools and the creation of equal opportunities for education and training, especially for vulnerable groups like young women, girls, people with disabilities, and migrants. The Sanarip Insan project closely collaborates with the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports and Youth Policy, and the Ministry of Digital Development.

Launched in March 2022, the Sanarip Insan project aims to boost digital literacy among youth, women, migrants, and rural residents. It promotes sustainable development through the use of digital platforms, social media, digital finance, and information technologies for online commerce and entrepreneurship.

To achieve this, the project uses diverse methods such as offline training in remote areas, webinars on modern technologies, and podcasts reaching distant villages and international forums.
