Project / Programme Executive Summary (max 300 words) 1. The Kyrgyz Republic’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) under the Paris Agreement commits the country to reducing, by 2050, its greenhouse gas emissions by 35 – 37 percent through international assistance. By investing in rangeland and forestry management, strengthening national and local institutions, introducing market-driven incentives and local planning processes, the project will lead to the sequestration of 19.8 million tCO2eq in 20 years. These reductions represent 7.6 percent of the country’s total emissions, and 22.6 percent of the agricultural share of emissions. 2. The project will achieve these sequestration results, while capitalizing important co-benefits from adaptation and disaster risk reduction, through: supporting government’s on-going efforts to harmonize relevant policies and legal frameworks, and strengthen its planning, monitoring and evaluation systems (Component 1); introducing a process of local integrated rangeland and forestry resource planning built around forest, rangeland and livestock management practices that sequester carbon, are responsive to observed changes in the climate and enable the diversification of household income earning activities (Component 2); facilitating market opportunities that provide the financial incentives, funded by the Russian Kyrgyz Development Fund (RKDF), for resource users to adopt and maintain management practices that sequester and preserve stored carbon. The targeted project areas were selected due to their high level of exposure and sensitivity to climate change stressors, mitigation potential, human poverty and dependency on natural resources. 3. The 49.99 million US$ investment will achieve carbon sequestration at a cost of US$ 2.5 per tCO2eq, while also indirectly strengthening the resilience and improving the livelihoods of

  • A New Russian Base in Southern Kyrgyzstan: Containing Uzbekistan?1
    A NEW RUSSIAN BASE IN SOUTHERN KYRGYZSTAN: CONTAINING UZBEKISTAN?1 On July 7, Igor Sechin, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister supervising law enforcement agencies and a close ally of Prime Minister Putin along with Anatoly Serdyukov, Defense Minister, met Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, to discuss, as officials of both countries confirmed, the possibility of establishing a new Russian military base which will formally serve as the base for Collective Operational Response Forces [CORF] under the Collective Security Treaty Organization auspice (in Russian: Коллективные силы оперативного реагирования ОДКБ). The location for a new contingent of Russia’s increasing military presence, if the plan is materialized, is as an old Soviet military base in the outskirts of the Kyrgyz southern capital, Osh, situated in the heart of the volatile Ferghana Valley and bordering China, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Map of Osh province2 In June, the leaders of CSTO (member-states include Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) met in Moscow at their regular summit and signed an agreement on the creation of the Collective Operational Response Forces under CSTO. The idea to create a new joint forces agreement, under Russian command, to combat terrorism and other security challenges in the region was earlier discussed at the February CSTO extraordinary summit. The June summit transformed the decision into a functioning document that Russia conveniently used to minimize American political and military presence in Central Asia. Containing disobedient leaders of former Russian colonies is another purpose of the CSTO. Uzbekistan, always suspicious of Russian neo-imperialistic intentions, did not sign the agreement.

  • Kyrgyz Republic 2012 Human Rights Report
    KYRGYZ REPUBLIC 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kyrgyz Republic has a parliamentary form of government intended to limit presidential power and enhance the role of parliament and the prime minister. Voters elected the parliament in 2010 and the president a year later. In the October 2011 presidential election, Almazbek Atambayev, the then prime minister, received more than 60 percent of the vote. Independent observers considered the election generally transparent and competitive, despite some irregularities. Atambayev’s election marked the first peaceful transfer of power in the country’s 20-year history. Following Atambayev’s December 2011 inauguration, parliament formed a governing coalition that included four of the five parties that held seats. On August 22, two coalition partners withdrew their support and dissolved the government. Within two weeks, and in accordance with the constitution, three of the five parties in parliament formed a new ruling coalition. While security forces officially reported to civilian authorities, in some regions, particularly in the South, there were instances in which elements of the security forces appeared to operate independent of civilian control. The most important human rights problems included continued ethnic tensions in the South, denial of due process, lack of accountability in judicial and law enforcement proceedings, and law enforcement officials’ use of arbitrary arrest, mistreatment, torture, and extortion against all demographic groups, but particularly against ethnic Uzbeks.

  • Revolutions of Kyrgyzstan Timeline: an Open Source Look at Key Events
    Revolutions of Kyrgyzstan Timeline: An Open Source Look at Key Events By Matthew Stein Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027 The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. 1 Revolutions of Kyrgyzstan Timeline: An Open Source Look at Key Events When looking at the events in Kyrgyzstan, it is necessary to look at clan politics in the country. Clan politics are not an all encompassing answer to why things happen in Kyrgyzstan; it simply helps explain some of the people and the motivation behind events, particularly in regard to resource competition. Clan politics were a significant aspect of the 2005 and 2010 revolutions and of the current political system emerging from the October 2010 parliamentary elections. For the purposes of this timeline the term “clans” is defined as an informal organization based on kinship ties, whether these ties are real or perceived. Clans are synonymous with tribes; the real ties are based on familial relationships, however distantly related, while perceived ties are based on non-familial regional (provinces, districts, towns, even specific neighborhoods), and on other business or personal based relationships like classmates or colleagues.1 Clans are difficult to identify, especially for a westerner, since they have no tangible characteristics. Clans will also not appear in the news as the reasons behind events. People are not able to simply leave their clan and join another; they grow up into clans as part of their lives.
