On June 2, 2026, an official ceremony was held in Bishkek to launch the second phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic, jointly implemented by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, KOICA, and Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic.
The event was attended by Mr. Rustam Baltabaev, Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic; H.E. Mr. Kim Kwangjae, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to the Kyrgyz Republic; Ms. Lim Soyeon, Country Director of the KOICA Office in the Kyrgyz Republic; Mr. Cho Sunhaeng, Country Director of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic; as well as representatives of government agencies, international organizations, and partner institutions.
In their welcoming remarks, the distinguished guests emphasized the strategic importance of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic for the sustainable socio-economic development of the regions and highlighted the significance of further strengthening cooperation between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Korea.
During the ceremony, the key achievements of the first phase of the project were presented, along with the main directions of the second phase, which will be implemented in Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad regions.
It should be noted that one day earlier, on June 1, 2026, the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic signed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of the second phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The new phase of the project aims to support farmers and agricultural cooperatives, develop the processing industry, modernize rural infrastructure, establish a logistics center, expand access to microfinance services, and introduce digital solutions in the agricultural sector.
Together, we continue our efforts to promote sustainable rural development, improve the well-being of rural communities, and strengthen the agro-industrial potential of the Kyrgyz Republic.
A large-scale stage of children's medical examinations has come to a close across four of our program target regions: Kok-Chu, B. Mambetov, Bel-Aldy, and Zhapalak. Over the course of two months, specialists from the "Kroha" children's clinic conducted comprehensive check-ups to identify health issues in children in a timely manner and provide the necessary support.
📊 Key Figures and Facts:
- 7,453 children were planned for coverage under the agreement.
- 340 additional children were examined by the "Kroha" clinic completely free of charge.
- 7,793 children in total underwent initial medical check-ups in 2026!
Based on the examination results, healthcare specialists highlighted key areas requiring further attention: 314 cases of myopia, 158 cases of chronic tonsillitis, 248 cases of earwax impaction, alongside other conditions requiring medical follow-up.
The collected data is already being processed by our team. All findings will form the foundation for planning new health-related projects, initiatives, and targeted assistance for 2027, ensuring that every child grows up strong and healthy.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our partners and everyone involved for their care and commitment to the future of the younger generation!
