Kyrgyz Republic

The Kyrgyz Republic (or Kyrgyzstan) is making progress towards the millennium development goals (MDGs) and is on track to achieve the first goal of halving extreme poverty between 2001 and 2015. For other important human development goals, however, the targets are likely to be missed, due to resource constraints and limited policy implementation capacity. There have also been setbacks owing to problems of governance and political instability that impeded effective policymaking during parts of the 2000s. As a consequence, finding a realistic pathway to achieve all MDGs remains a challenge.
