Public Services Improvement in Kyrgyzstan
The Kyrgyz Government's development strategy plans equal growth of regions through decentralization and strengthening of the role of local municipalities in public services delivery. However, at present municipalities lack capacities, skills and resources to carry out their mandates. This project is designed to address this barrier and improve the access and quality of public services delivered to the population.

Contexte |
The Kyrgyz Republic started a political, administrative and fiscal decentralization process right after its independence in 1991. Unfortunately, due to instable political and to the social-economic situation, decentralization remained only half finished. The legal framework around public service delivery and the role of municipalities is in place, but not enforced. Issues of delineation of tasks, financing and quality control of service provision at central and municipal levels still need to be addressed. One of the priorities of the Kyrgyz Government tor the coming years is the redistribution of roles and responsibilities between the central and municipal levels, and the improvement of the delivery of public services. |
Objectifs |
The overall goal of the project is that Citizens in Kyrgyzstan profit from increased quality of and access to public services provided by municipalities. The logic of this intervention is that quality and quantity of public services will increase if municipalities and service providers improve their governance and management capacities in public service delivery, and if governance mechanisms are improved and strengthened, especially oversight mechanisms on local level. This will finally improve living conditions of local citizens. |
Groupes cibles |
