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.

This video shares the inspiring story of a Good Neighbors project aimed at supporting local farmers through affordable credit. Our heroes, Ruslan Toichubekov and Munarbek Zhamankulov, experienced beekeepers, received a low-interest loan to purchase modern beehives and bee boxes.
Thanks to this project, their beekeeping business has flourished. You'll get a glimpse of their apiaries, households, and learn how Good Neighbors' support has improved their lives and boosted local production.
About the Project: Toktogul honey is one of the income generation projects that we launched in 2022. During this time, we have allocated about 4.2 million soms. Our beneficiaries are 19 people.

From 14 November to 22 November 2024, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic is being conducted series of trainings for the Community Health Workers (CHW) on anemia prevention and microelements deficit. The trainings are conducted at the regional level in Sokuluk, Ton, Toktogul and Kara-Suu regions within the framework of the project "Strengthening the community health in partnership with CHW", in collaboration with the Republican Health Center and Mass Communication.
In remote regions of the country an alarming level of anemia and iron deficit is observed, especially among children and women, caused by the malnutrition. The goal of the training is to increase the level of awareness of the volunteers, who are the activists and leaders of CHWs, about nutritious food and necessity to take preventive measures to replenish such essential elements for the human organism.
After the trainings, CHWs will conduct increasing awareness campaigns with the population with application of informative materials.

As part of the Graduate Support Program in our communities, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a series of training sessions for high school students and graduates. This project was aimed at career guidance, skill development, and knowledge enhancement, as well as providing opportunities for admission to top universities in Kyrgyzstan and abroad.
Our participants not only received valuable advice and knowledge but also attended excursions and workshops where they could witness real learning and working conditions firsthand. This is a unique opportunity to be inspired, gain practical experience, and understand the steps needed to build a successful future.
We believe that such initiatives help young people unlock their potential and make informed career choices. We extend our gratitude to everyone who supports and inspires the younger generation in our communities and beyond!
