Innovation for Sustainable Development: Review of Kyrgyzstan

The practical work on the Innovation for Sustainable Development Review of Kyrgyzstan began in December 2016 with a preparatory mission to Bishkek by representatives of the UNECE secretariat to establish contact and discuss the structure and content of the Review with the national Government institutions and other stakeholders. The main project mission took place from 30 March to 7 April 2017 with the participation of a team that included representatives of the UNECE secretariat as well as international and national experts. This Review reflects the outcome of a series of consultations and discussions between the Review team and policymakers, Government officials, representatives of academic institutions and the business community, and other innovation stakeholders of Kyrgyzstan.
