DFID has been active in the Kyrgyz Republic since 1997. We use a range of aid instruments including technical assistance projects, programme-based support, and sector budget support to the health sector.Promoting good governance is a key focus of our work. For example, DFID is assisting the government of the Kyrgyz Republic through support to strengthen public financial management Since 2009, we have worked jointly with the World Bank (WB), the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), and the European Union (EU) in close partnership with the Ministry of Finance to improve the budget formulation process; strengthen internal audit; help re-organise the Ministry of Finance; and strengthen civil society to increase accountability and promote transparency around public spending.I have recently visited the Kyrgyz Republic, during which I made an assessment of our current and future projects. I have deposited a list of projects currently funded by the Department in the Library of the House. The list includes a number of regional projects covering other Central Asian countries as well as the Kyrgyz Republic. |
