environmental degradation caused by human activities, already observed in a number of regions, can become irreversible and aggravate food security by reducing access to water and land resources. Technological breakthroughs in the areas of automation of production, artificial intelligence will put in the near future employment issues for the middle class and the most vulnerable groups. Simultaneously, the appearance of new artificial materials is accompanied by the complication of waste disposal. 1.2.2. From a regional perspective, Kyrgyzstan has challenges related to the distance from the global economic centers, the insufficient level of transit of the transport and logistics network. Of special concern are threats to security - violent extremism, inter-ethnic rifts and cross-border crime. 1.2.3. Internal challenges. Despite the progress made in certain areas, the flexible and mobile public administration system is not yet a key development barrier. Social tension remains a constant factor of instability on the background of unresolved and worrisome Kyrgyzstanis everyday problems. These are, first of all, employment issues, public security, access to justice, the development of public infrastructure and social support for vulnerable groups of the population. Some of the negative factors, despite the general high level of civic engagement, are a low level of public involvement in the formation of a modern developed state and a relatively weak mobilization based on nationwide value and civic landmarks. 1.2.4. Opportunities for economic growth are objectively hindered due to resource-energy constraints, geographical location and natural-climatic features, the absence of a significant domestic market. The potential of the private sector is still generally limited by low levels of labor productivity, lack of qualified human capital, limited access to capital and energy resources, and regulatory and regulatory barriers. The fragmented nature of agriculture, processing and production and the shortage of transport and logistics networks do not allow most producers to compete in emerging regional markets even in industries with low added value. A high proportion of the informal sector retains the risks of corruption and constrains the capacity of the state budget. 1.3. Methodology 1.3.1. The leading reference point for the Development Program of the Kyrgyz Republic for the period 2018-2022 "Unity. Confidence. Creation "(hereinafter referred to as the Program) is a long-term vision until 2040, allowing to maintain a clear framework in the light of global challenges, opportunities and national interests. 1.3.2. The main approach of the Program is a rigid choice of priorities. The program is aimed at maintaining continuity and consistency in the results of the implementation of the National Sustainable Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic for the period 2013-2017, which remain important and / or do not achieve the desired result. 5
