    Kyrgyzstan secures $3.5 mn from Japan for food assistance to vulnerable groups

    Kyrgyzstan secures $3.5 mn from Japan for food assistance to vulnerable groups

    Japan’s Ambassador, Mr. Hideki Goda, and the WFP Country Director, Mr. Kojiro Nakai, signed a grant agreement of ¥ 519 mn ($3.5 mn) to aid Kyrgyzstan’s vulnerable population. The global price surge led to increased food costs in Kyrgyzstan, causing economic hardship and reducing the purchasing power of the vulnerable population. As a result, 33% of the population lives in poverty, with another 7% at risk.

    As part of the agreement, $3.5 mn will be allocated to assist low-income residents of Batken, Issyk-Kul, Jalal-Abad, Naryn, and Osh regions. This will be done through the provision of basic infrastructure, supply of import-dependent food products (flour, vegetable oil), advanced training in the profession, entrepreneurship, and agriculture, and training for participants of the “Assistance based on a social contract” program throughout the republic.

    “This program aims to strengthen the food security of vulnerable groups and will help develop sustainable economic independence, contributing to economic and social stability in the country. Earlier, with the support of the Japanese government, enterprises for the production of apricot oil were opened in the Batken region and the processing of medicinal herbs in the Naryn region, which helped create additional jobs,” noted Gulnara Baatyrova.

    Food insecurity is a pervasive issue across the nation, with rural areas being marginally more affected (10%) than urban regions (9%). A considerable number of households (74%) depend on livelihood-based coping mechanisms to fulfil their basic needs, marking a slight increase from the previous report in June 2023.

    The employment of emergency and crisis coping strategies, which account for 42%, is closely linked to food insecurity. These strategies, however, are not economically or nutritionally sustainable. Concurrently, 32% of the populace continues to resort to these coping strategies, with a higher prevalence in rural inhabitants (78%) compared to their urban counterparts (67%).

     

    A significant portion of the population (41%) persists in employing detrimental food coping strategies such as consuming less desirable or cheaper foods (34%), skipping meals (5%), or even going without food for an entire day and night (2%). The continued use of these strategies is progressively undermining the population’s resilience to malnutrition.
