New PEI country programme signed in Kyrgyzstan
A new PEI country programme has been signed for Kyrgyzstan. The programme runs from February 2011 to December 2013. The PEI programme will have a strong focus on P/E mainstreaming at district level. Two provinces were selected as pilot areas (Naryn province and Suusamyr aiyl okmotu). Lead agencies will be the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Economic Regulation, the National Agency for Local Self-Government Affairs and the State Agency of Environment Protection and Forestry. The UNDP Kyrgyzstan Country Office organized a successful round table in November 2010 to discuss the PEI draft programme document with high-level participation of the Presidential Administration, concerned ministries, agencies and NGO representatives which helped to generate ample ownership of the country programme among pivotal stakeholders.
