Official development assistance and cooperation - Republic of Kyrgyzstan
Kožichová, Sabina ; Kandakov, Alexander (advisor) ; Ivanova, Tatiana (referee)
The Kyrgyz republic belongs to the category of countries which, after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, got through a difficult transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. To this day, continue problems caused by the unpreparedness for secession from the Soviet bloc, still ranks Kyrgyzstan among the world's poorest countries. However, due to the rapid implementation of liberal reforms, it has bulit a position of the most democratic state in the region. Based on these facts, Kyrgyzstan since the beginning of its establishment operates a number of international organizations in the framework of effective cooperation making efforts to improve the current situation in the Kyrgyz Republic. Of all the Central Asian states official development assistance records the most significant share of gross national income in the Kyrgyz Republic. Kyrgyzstan also from the states of Central Asia receives the largest amount of ODA per capita. The thesis analyzes the individual donors, duration of cooperation and the amount of ODA that Kyrgyzstan receives annually from these donors. Based on the method of regression analysis, this thesis determined the expected increase in the amount of financial resources within the ODA in the next two years. This bachelor thesis also analyzed the priority sectors of cooperation for individual donors and identified the most preferred areas, supported by ODA, which are infrastructure and social services, economic infrastructure and services, health and education. In addition, it focused on the critical year 2010, in which it held a political coup, after which occurred the democratization process and the introduction into the parliamentary form of government. This bachelor thesis monitors the changes of the character of ODA after this year and the response of donors to the aforementioned events, including the subsequent ethnic riots in the south of the country. Based on the collected data and graphics, the increase in the amount of ODA for Kyrgyzstan was recorded after 2010 and the response in the form of projects aimed at the reconstruction of the affected areas.
