Water Sector Reform Performance Contract in the Kyrgyz Republic

About this project

The overall objective of this action is to promote an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach in the sector and, in doing so, complement the current and forthcoming European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) investments in Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH) and Irrigation. The action is implemented at the national level under the relevant lead Ministry of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, which at the moment of this document¿s drafting is the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision (MNRETS), in line with the National Water Strategy. The MNRETS is the Secretariat of the National Land and Water Council (NLWC), which, chaired by the President, steers the sector¿s policies and coordinates with other relevant ministries. The action strengthens the capacity of institutional stakeholders and promotes concrete means to regulate the competing uses of water and related issues: irrigation and drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, industrial uses, hydropower, transboundary issues, climate change and environmental concerns. The support for the water reform agenda is instrumental in improving and making more efficient use of the Kyrgyz water resources that are vital for the region. That will ultimately lead to a sustainable, long-term mechanism that will ensure the protection of precious water resources from the challenges posed by climate change and the increasing needs of water stakeholders at both the national and regional levels…
