In 2022-23, Search for Common Ground (Search) undertook a 22-month project to enhance the rule of law framework concerning religious freedom in Kyrgyzstan. One of the three project objectives was to increase awareness of the legal framework around religious freedom in local communities, with a particular focus on women’s rights and interfaith dialogue. Based on the findings of a barrier analysis, the project team identified 13 locations where the project activities would take place, in addition
to seven oblast centres.
This document presents the results of a lessons-learned study focusing on the second objective – promoting awareness of the legal framework around religious freedom in local communities. Through a review of project documents and interviews with the project team and speakers, the paper seeks to answer three questions: what strategies helped make the project more effective, what were the main challenges encountered, and what recommendations could be made for similar projects in the future?
