Kyrgyz Local Governments Share Best Practices
In September, USAID’s Local Government Initiative project, implemented by the Urban Institute, summarized the results of a competition that facilitated an exchange of ideas and practices among Kyrgyz local governments. Mayors and Kenesh (local government) chairpersons of all 25 cities, representatives of the Presidential Administration, the National Agency for Local Self Government, the Association of Cities of the Kyrgyz Republic, donors, NGOs, and the media attended a conference that announced the winners of the Local Government Initiative’s Best Local Practices Competition. A total of 29 applications from 19 cities participated in the competition.
The winner of the competition was the city of Kara-Balta and its practices of improving information exchange between local government and the population. The Tokmok City Administration received the second-place award for ensuring consistent feedback between the local government head and the community, and the city of Karakol was awarded the third place for cooperation with an NGO in identifying vacant municipal land.
