“Ambassador for a Day” initiative dedicated to Women in Technology and the development of AI in Tajikistan celebrates future women-diplomats in Dushanbe

This year, the Embassies of France, Germany, the Republic of Korea, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the Delegation of the European Union to Tajikistan, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe, the Swiss Cooperation Office in Tajikistan, and the United Nations in Tajikistan invited nine finalists through an open video contest under this initiative.

This year’s initiative was dedicated to Women in Technology and the development AI in Tajikistan and focused on women’s leadership and their role in technology, recognizing the critical role young women play in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future. 

The finalists recorded short videos, responding to the call to participate in this initiative during the International Women’s Day campaign (08 March 2026), where they shared their ideas, with passion and conviction, and articulated their own contributions to shape the developments in AI and digitalization in Tajikistan.

Throughout the day, the finalist took part in interactive discussions, shadowed diplomatic leaders, and explored ways in which international cooperation addresses today’s most pressing issues. Each participant received a certificate of participation.
