On November 10, 2017 in Tokmok, was held a meeting with the leaders of the construction teams cooperating with the project "Green Skills Training in Rural Areas G-STAR", implemented by PF "AVEP" and financed with the support of Helvetas-Kyrgyzstan. In the meeting participated representatives from PF "AVEP", PA “AMETiS”, PF “CEEBA”, as well as leaders of construction teams.

The meeting mainly discussed issues related to the actual situation of the construction teams to date and the prospects for further cooperation with the project. The construction team leaders noted that there are some difficulties in promoting green technologies in the field. In particular, for thermal insulation using reed plates, there is a problem of shortage of reeds in some villages; in some remote villages, there are cases of overestimation of building materials, etc. There are also some difficulties for stove builders, namely the lack of bricks on the ground, the high cost of fireclay bricks (80 - 120 som per piece), etc. Despite such difficulties, among the masters there are those who do not have time to fulfill orders because of their large number.

The team leaders also noted the positive impact of the project on the activities of the teams and expressed a desire for further cooperation with the G-STAR Project.

As a result of the meeting, a preliminary version of the concept of further cooperation between construction teams and the G-STAR Project for 2018 was developed.
