Kyrgyzstan

During our operations in Kyrgyzstan we were recognised for our strong track record of facilitating multi-stakeholder policy dialogue.

We brought civil society and government actors together to produce policy recommendations on a range of issues including natural resource management, prevention of radicalism among youth, and looking at the relationship between state and religion.

Our projects supported sustainable dialogue, social cohesion, non-violence and tolerance among religious organisations, communities and civil society, as well as local initiatives for advocacy and policy implementation to make that happen.

We facilitated constructive dialogues between the government, representatives of local authorities and civil society, as well as religious and secular experts to promote understanding and tolerance, counter misinformation and support social cohesion and peacebuilding.

We also conducted research to help experts and young people better contribute to policies that affected them, and counter narratives that fuelled suspicion, mistrust and conflict.

We ran our projects in Kyrgyzstan until 2025.
