MDG Monitoring in Kyrgyz Republic • At present NSC is ensuring monitoring of theCountry Development Strategy (CDS). • MDG indicators are integrated into 2009-2011 CDS. • CDS monitoring and evaluation matrix includes considerable number of MDG indicators, which demonstrates serious attitude of the government to considering MDGs as guides for strategic decision-making.
MDG Monitoring • Global goals and targets were adapted to the national conditions. • MDG 2 requiring achievement by 2015 of universal primary education has been achieved. At the moment MDG for Kyrgyzstan is formulated as achievement of universal secondary education. • Kyrgyz Republic has no agency that would coordinate preparation of statistics by ministries and agencies for estimating MDG indicators and assess data quality.

Publication and Dissemination of MDG Indicators • In cooperation with UNICEF, a database in the format of Devinfo was developed to be used for monitoring gender indicators. • Monitoring findings are widely used not just by national ministries and agencies but by international organizations and offices represented in the country as well.
Issues • Lack of international indicators in monitoring of MDG indicators • Lack of resources for more detailed sample surveys. • Unreliability and poor quality of administrative data sources (HIV/AIDS and other transmitted diseases, environment, unemployment, ICTs, use of small samples).
MDG Monitoring: Perspectives • Gradual incorporation of MDG indicators currently missing in the CDS Indicators Matrix into its structure. • Improvement of dissemination and access to MDG indicators. • Reporting of new indicators covering status of women and men in economy (access of women and men to resources: land ownership, real estate, information technologies). • Update of indicators in line with new trends of labour migration, violence against women.
