In 2023, WFP in the Kyrgyz Republic started implementing its new Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for 2023-2027, structured to align with the key national priorities of the country. WFP continued to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Migration to scale up the provision of social assistance to 10,000 families enrolled in the "Social Contract" project; improved the regulatory framework, such as selection mechanism and procurement acts; and drafted a strategy for the development of the national social protection system and active labour market policies to promote employment. WFP continued to extend support to the population affected by the escalation of violence along the Kyrgyz-Tajik border in 2022, delivering a total of 1,061 metric tons of essential food commodities and disbursing USD 286,000 in cash assistance to 90,000 people from the end of September 2022 to the end of March 2023. Notably, WFP also proactively enhanced the country's emergency response capabilities by introducing individualised food rations tailored for remote mountainous areas during emergencies, ensuring that the nutritional needs of affected populations were met effectively. In 2024, as a continuation of this initiative, WFP aims to purchase up to 7,000 standardized individual food rations and establish comprehensive plans for food handover and reporting mechanisms.
