Partnerships Officer in Uzbekistan

Rusyan Jill Mamiit, the Partnerships Officer in the Resident Coordinator’s Office in Uzbekistan, champions inclusive private sector partnership-building to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the country. Rusyan led the establishment of the UN’s Coalition of Business Champions for Sustainable Development in Uzbekistan together with her peers in various UN entities. It complements existing global UN initiatives such as the UN Global Compact and UNDP’s Business Call to Action by providing room for small-scale businesses and medium-sized enterprises to be part of the sustainability discussion in Uzbekistan. With Rusyan’s support, the Coalition is steadily growing its membership and has taken the lead in organizing dialogues to promote sustainability principles in the private sector in the country and beyond. The Coalition organized  a Forum on Championing Business Sustainability in Uzbekistan and opened it to other businesses in Central Asia to ensure the entire region can benefit from its initiatives.
