Bishkek, 13 November 2025 — The Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is finalizing the tagging of the Public Investment Programme (PIP) according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results of the Rapid Integrated Assessment of public investment projects were presented during a roundtable discussion.

This initiative is part of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and UNDP’s broader efforts to integrate the SDGs into national planning and financing processes. A comprehensive analysis of the contribution of public investments to achieving the SDGs helps align national and international development frameworks while enhancing transparency and efficiency in the budget process.

Deputy Minister of Finance Nurbek Akzholov noted: “This is a decisive moment when it is essential to join efforts, mobilize resources, and turn accumulated knowledge and strategies into sustainable action. The steps we take today will determine the results we achieve by 2030 and the future we pass on to the next generation.”

The National Development Programme 2030, adopted in 2025, aims to position the Kyrgyz Republic among the thirty countries showing the greatest progress toward achieving the SDGs and to improve the country’s standing in international rankings of inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

UNDP Resident Representative in the Kyrgyz Republic, Alexandra Solovieva, emphasized: “The assessment results open new opportunities for integrating ‘financing for development’ approaches. These approaches are becoming practical tools for decision-making—from selecting and prioritizing investment projects to establishing a national monitoring system that tracks their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.”

UNDP will continue to support the Ministry of Finance in strengthening public financial management systems, enhancing institutional capacity, and promoting innovative solutions for sustainable development.
