Public Service Improvement (PSI) in the Kyrgyz Republic
To improve people's quality of life, municipalities need to deliver efficiently and effectively services such as safe drinking water, waste collection, cultural facilities in a socially inclusive and gender responsive manner. In rural Kyrgyzstan, their capacities still need to be improved in a sustainable way. To achieve this, the project will develop the municipalities' support system which shall then provide adequate counseling and training to those municipalities today and in the long run.

| Contexte | Local self-governance remains the primary level of the public administration system meaning that municipalities are responsible for the provision of the crucial services that define the quality of life of the population, e.g. access to drinking water and waste management. Yet, due to insufficient resources and low capacity, rural local self-governments (LSGs) are struggling to provide sustainable quality services in accordance with the needs of the population, especially socially excluded groups. |
| Objectifs | People in rural Kyrgyzstan enjoy better living conditions thanks to improved public services |
| Groupes cibles |
Beneficiaries: community members, i.e. women, men, youth and socially excluded groups in the municipalities Other stakeholders: the councils and executives of municipalities; organized civil society as well as providers of services at local level; district and regional administrations in Issyk-Kul, Jalal-Abad, Chuy and Talas regions; the State Agency for Civil Service and Local Self-Governance; the Union of LSGs; Local Governance Academy of Central Asia (LGACA); the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, and the Ministry of Finance |
| Effets à moyen terme |
Outcome 1: Local duty bearers improve service provision Outcome 2: Overall framework conditions for inclusive and gender responsive local public service provision are improved |
| Résultats |
Principaux résultats attendus: 1.1. Men, women, public interest groups, LSGs and district stakeholders participate and create inclusive service development programs 1.2. Upgraded and extended sustainable local services organized and delivered 2.1. National and sub-national policies for local services improved 2.2. Union of the LSGs and Local Governance Academy Central Asia become centers of competence and facilitators of best service provision practices Principaux résultats antérieurs: Over 500’000 people (51% women) in 123 out of 452 rural municipalities benefitted from improved services in Phase II. The final evaluation shows that gradual changes in attitudes and behaviours as well as an increase in trust and confidence between local service providers and the communities can be noticed. The project is assessed as highly relevant to its context and its upstream policy work and capacity building have made long-term contributions to local public service provision reform. However, due to an ongoing administrative and territorial reform, it is essential to consolidate the accumulated knowledge and resources to sustain the achievements of the previous phases, and support the authorities in providing access to essential services that are tailored to people’s needs, gender-responsive, and sustainably managed. |
