The Kyrgyz Republic remains the sole example of liberal democracy in Central Asia. USAID believes that investing in the health, education, and economic opportunities of the Kyrgyzstani people is the best way to guarantee a free and stable future for the Kyrgyz Republic. The goal of USAID/Kyrgyz Republic’s 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) is to foster a more inclusive and prosperous Kyrgyz Republic, which will serve as a leader for democracy and independence in the region.
USAID will advance this CDCS goal through two development objectives: (i) strengthened democratic values and citizen-centered governance; and (ii) robust and diversified economic opportunities for the people of the Kyrgyz Republic. These development objectives align directly with the Kyrgyz Government’s development priorities of anti-corruption measures, judicial reform, regional development and local government capacity, reversal of labor migration, and improvements in the delivery of health and education services. In addition, USAID will aim to strengthen Kyrgyz independence by reducing disinformation and corruption, and improving the rule of law and respect for human rights. The 2020-2025 CDCS will ensure that the Mission’s strategic priorities over the next five years advance the goal of promoting a more inclusive and prosperous Kyrgyz Republic.
