The Government of Finland is a key partner in UNDP Kyrgyzstan’s mission to build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable future for all - supporting the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, national development priorities of Kyrgyzstan, where people and planet thrive in balance.

Since 2009, Finland has supported Kyrgyzstan’s development journey, with focus on enhancing trade capacities, women empowerment, and access to justice.  As UNDP Kyrgyzstan’s largest government contributor, Finland has contributed over USD 10 million to UNDP Kyrgyzstan since 2009, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to development cooperation in the country. 

Two major programmes, “Aid for Trade for Central Asia (Phase V)” and “Access to Justice (Phase III)”, are now in their final implementation phase (2022–2025), delivering meaningful results across policy, institutional, and community levels, having contributed significantly to advancing inclusive economic growth, human rights, and legal empowerment.

In addition to country-level support, the Government of Finland contributes to UNDP’s core resources, ensuring the organization remains agile and responsive in delivering sustainable development solutions worldwide.
