Beneficiaries also got seeds, fertilizers and necessary materials to improve soil and get crops of vegetables enough to sell at the market, consumption by their families and store for winter’s time. The amazing impact of the project in a relatively short period of time is that the UN calls "behavior change”. Beneficiaries repeatedly stressed in their interviews to journalists, as well as in talking with UN agencies staff chaired by the FAO Representative in Kyrgyzstan Dorjee Kinlay and UN Women Representative Sabine Machl, that farmers within one year refused to sow cotton and tobacco and have switched to growing a variety of vegetables.

  • 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.
