The Kyrgyz Republic is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent. The country occupies a strategic location on the Silk Road - between the markets of the former Soviet Union and Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and China. Stretching 900 km from east to west and 425 km from north to south, Kyrgyzstan's total landmass is 199.9 thousand square kilometres, which is about the size of Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal combined. The northernmost part of the country is on the same latitude as Rome, and the southernmost end is on a level with the island of Sicily. The borders of the Republic generally follow natural boundaries - mountain ranges and rivers. Kyrgyzstan borders on Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the south, and China to the south and east. Geography COUNTERPART CONSORTIUM KYRGYZSTAN FINANCED BY USAID, EU, UNCHR
Kyrgyzstan is remarkable for its natural beauty. It is a country of sunshine, high snow-covered mountains, deep gorges cut by swift rivers and 1,923 mountain lakes. The country's generally mountainous terrain has an average elevation of 2,750 metres above sea level. Because of differences in elevation and degree of shelter, the climate of the Republic differs widely. In the summer months, travellers can spend part of a single day in a sunny valley, in a flowering meadow high in the mountains, and in glaciers above the clouds. Extensive mountain ranges featuring ridges, deep gorges, wide steppe valleys and virgin forests are complemented by more than 40,000 rivers and streams that provide irrigation and a vast potential for hydroelectricity production.

Society • Since the first days of Independence, the need to implement a range of socio-economic and political reforms among post-Soviet countries has been recognised as essential. The Kyrgyz Republic was first among Central Asian countries to define clearly the humanitarian development priorities of its reforms. For instance, in 1998, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Askar Akaev, titled his Message to Parliament and the People, “A Model of Social Development for Kyrgyzstan in the XXI Century”. In 1997, a National Sustainable Human Development Strategy was adopted as a policy-planning document. In accordance with this strategy a number of programmes taking various aspects of human development as their focus have been prepared. First among these is the National “Araket” programme on poverty alleviation approved in February 1998. A corresponding Commission for Poverty Alleviation headed by the Prime Minister was established in August 1998. COUNTERPART CONSORTIUM KYRGYZSTAN FINANCED BY USAID, EU, UNCHR
One of the most important components of this programme ensures the regular monitoring of poverty levels, a process partially begun through other efforts in the Republic only since 1996. Other national sub-programmes being implemented within “Araket” include “The Employment Market (Emgek) programme” and “The Action Programme on Public Support to Small and Medium Enterprises for 1998-1999”. Since 1997, another programme, “Ardager”, has also been implemented to assist the elderly. • Issues of poverty, employment, women’s equality, development of the non-governmental sector and other human development priorities have become an integral part of public, social and political programmes. • The State renders specific forms of support to human development activities and receives in return human capital and trust. As such, the effectiveness of any State in implementing various development programmes is closely related to the concept of trust. Trust is the basic component of efficient governance and serves as a powerful stimulus to the market economy. This trust factor is highly personified in Central Asia. In the Kyrgyz Republic, trust in reform policy is, to a considerable extent, dependent upon trust in the President, Askar Akaev. COUNTERPART CONSORTIUM KYRGYZSTAN FINANCED BY USAID, EU, UNCHR
