Using the equipment and reagents provided through USAID funding the lab. Most of the lab workers are women but there are other labs which might require more male employees. In production of the saplings (multiplication of plantlets) it would be more appropriate to have girls, however there are lab tasks where men’s force is needed. “I do not divide between whether guys or girls will be involved in the lab work, more important is their abilities and knowledge, the person should be chemist as the most important stage is preparation of the medium. I think women can do the same work as men in the lab if necessary accessibility and conditions are created” explained Gulya. .
