About

With USAID assistance, Kyrgyzstan has made substantial progress in the areas of economic growth, democratic governance, health-care reform, improvement of basic education and agricultural development. However, significant impediments to development remain, including widespread corruption, low foreign investment, high unemployment and endemic poverty.

Approximately one-third of Kyrgyzstan’s workforce is employed abroad, draining the country of its qualified labor and reducing the availability of services. The implementation of democratic reforms remains a challenge, and limited energy resources and low agricultural productivity leave the country susceptible to humanitarian crises.
