The Kyrgyz Republic is the only freely elected parliamentary democracy
in post-Soviet Central Asia. As such, in support of long-term stability
and prosperity, the United States focuses on consolidating, sustaining
and strengthening the country’s hard-won democratic gains while
promoting economic progress, strengthened public services and
stronger ties across the region.

USAID works with the Kyrgyz Republic to build on progress in democratic governance by partnering
with institutions, promoting civic engagement, improving delivery of public services and expanding
economic opportunity. USAID in the Kyrgyz Republic also works with the regional USAID Mission to
Central Asia to advance the U.S. Government’s New Silk Road initiative, which increases connections
between Central and South Asia — including Afghanistan — to foster greater stability and prosperity
across the region.
