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.
