Kyrgyzstan

The Republic of Kyrgyzstan is situated on the Eastern part of Central Asia, bordering Kazakhstan to the North, Uzbekistan to the West, Tadjikistan to the South and the People’s Republic of China to the East. As a landlocked country, Kyrgyzstan relies on international roads and railways to ensure access to major economical markets and routes. As its southern neighbour Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country; therefore a special attention is given to road infrastructures and its development by the State.

Kyrgyzstan has been an active member of TRACECA since the Brussels Conference in May 1993 which gave birth to the TRACECA programme.

The national tranport policy of Kyrgyzstan is at an inception phase. A paper for Road transport development strategy 2011 – 2015 has been drafted but not validated yet.

Up to 2011, several national programs were relevant for the transport sector:

  1. Development Strategy of the country (2009-2011)
  2. Development program for road and water transport for 2009-2011
  3. Transport and Communication sector development program (2009-2011)
  4. Strategy of the road subsector development for 2007-2010.

The two major objectives in the road sector development in Development Strategy (2009-2011) were:

- Strengthening of the transit potential of the country;

- Expansion of access to local markets, employment opportunities and social services.

To respond to the existing challenges for MOS and ILC promotion, the LOGMOS team supported a pre-screening for potential pilot projects. The pre-screening was based on the multi criteria analysis of proposed project. Feasibility study was elaborated for the selected pilot project for Kyrgyzstan.

The LOGMOS team carried out a comprehensive country analysis covering the national transport policy, strategic challenges, legal environment and investments in the transport and logistics sector. Findings of this study were reflected in a Country Profile based on the following structure:

Introduction
