On June 1, 2026, the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, KOICA, and Good Neighbors International signed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of the second phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The signing of the Memorandum marked an important step in strengthening the partnership aimed at promoting sustainable rural development and improving the well-being of rural communities.
The second phase of the project will be implemented in Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad regions and will include support for farmers and agricultural cooperatives, development of rural and logistics infrastructure, expansion of access to microcredit services, and the introduction of modern technologies in the agricultural sector.
The project is a continuation of the first phase, which was successfully implemented from 2021 to 2025. During this period, significant achievements were made in increasing agricultural productivity, developing livestock farming, improving rural infrastructure, and raising the incomes of rural households.
The implementation of the second phase will contribute to the further development of the agro-industrial potential of the regions, strengthen the economic resilience of rural communities, and improve the quality of life of the population.

- The success story of beekeeper Samat Musuraliev -
Samat Musuraliev, a member of the Sary-Sogot cooperative, with more than 10 years of experience in beekeeping, has achieved impressive results! In 2024, thanks to the support of our program and the loan received, he collected 117 barrels of honey (3429 kg) and sold it to international markets.
In 2025, he plans to improve conditions for bees by purchasing 100 new hives.
"Beekeeping is our family's main source of income, and over the past three years our income would have been significantly lower without the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic." -Samat Musuraliev-
