Description
Kyrgyzstan is a young democracy. While there has been a recorded decline in openness and democratic space, the UK and other international partners have continued to encourage civic and political freedoms. Political leadership is interested in attracting international investment without compromising stability. It is important for Kyrgyzstan to demonstrate democratic successes and convince key internal stakeholders of the benefits of remaining open and internationally engaged. Prime Minister Japarov has requested UK support to improve economic governance, highlighted in his recent UK visit and a December Op-Ed calling for reforms. The UK has an opportunity to support key reforms in Kyrgyzstan through external expertise that can build rapport with the Kyrgyz leadership and promote an open society.
This assignment aims to provide the Kyrgyz Government with experienced and senior advice on reform, including legal reform, that builds strong UK-Kyrgyz relations on democratic governance issues.
Scope of work A senior and experienced UK expert, most likely a respected academic, professional or political, foundation or business equivalent, should have an expertise in a key area of interest to Kyrgyz counterparts, such as legal reform aimed at improving the economic and administrative environment, or economic reform. They will: - Familiarise themselves with Kyrgyz reform issues through reading and briefings (up to 2 days); - Undertake a scoping visit to establish strong Bishkek networks and identify areas of policy advice and support (up to 6 days); - Provide substantive advice and mentoring to Kyrgyz counterparts in consultation with the Embassy during and post visit (visit plus up to 4 days of follow-up engagement); - Develop an advisory note for the Embassy setting out recommendations on further UK engagement and support, with rationale (up to 2 days).
Further visits may be agreed as needed.
Deliverables • Strong UK-Kyrgyz policy relationship on reform and open societies; • Direct advice/mentoring to Kyrgyz counterparts; • Advisory note on further UK support of no more than 5 pages; • A summary of recommendations for Kyrgyz counterparts of no more than 4 pages;
Timeline The initial scoping phase will require up to 14 days of support, with the visit taking place no later than September/beginning of October 2024.
