COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION STRATEGY
COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION STRATEGY
This small, landlocked, former Soviet country features a nascent democracy, a vibrant and increasingly influential civil society, and robust cooperation with the U.S. on a number of issues. While it has been successful in lowering its rate of extreme poverty, over 38% of the population remains below the national poverty line. Continued U.S. Government development assistance will help the country consolidate its encouraging progress toward accountable, inclusive governance, and reap significant development outcomes such as increased economic opportunities and increased resilience to shocks.
This goal reflects the significant democratic gains that the country has made in the past few years, as well as the remarkable vibrancy of its civil society through periods of renewed authoritarianism. USAID/Kyrgyz Republic is confident that the parliamentary democracy established by the 2010 constitution has developed strong foundations. Governing coalitions have dissolved and reformed, elections have been held peacefully and fairly, and most political parties and leaders see the advantages of participation in the democratic system.
