Kanykey Jailobaeva, PhD Candidate at the University of Edinburgh Enhanced Government Commitment: A Key to an Effective Government-NGO Relationship in Kyrgyzstan Executive summary The government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kyrgyzstan have achieved positive results in working together. Nonetheless, they still encounter a number of barriers which hinder them from having a more productive relationship. The major problem is that the government does not have a unified and coherent policy on cooperation with NGOs. At present, the government-NGO relationship is developing chaotically and fragmentarily. Donor-funded projects are the main factor bringing these actors together. Furthermore, the previous experience of the government in developing an NGO support programme suggests that the government needs more commitment to and control over the implementation of its initiatives on working with NGOs. Based on this, this policy brief proposes creating a State Department on NGO Relations. Its key aim would be to ensure that a proper legal basis for the government-NGO relationship is in place and implemented accordingly by coordinating the development and implementation of legal documents on the cooperation of the government and its institutions with NGOs. Introduction In Kyrgyzstan, the government-NGO relationship is in a nascent stage. Although there has been considerable progress in the collaboration between these actors, there are still obstacles impeding the development of a more effective relationship between them. Based on recent research 6 into the government-NGO relationship in Kyrgyzstan, this policy brief discusses the barriers that prevent the government and its institutions from establishing a successful partnership with NGOs. The research revealed that the government and its various institutions at all levels (national, regional, and local) encounter a common problem in that they lack a clear 6 This policy brief is based on doctoral research, which explored the NGO sector and its relationship with the government in Kyrgyzstan. The research was conducted from September 2007 to May 2008. Around 50 different NGOs from Bishkek, Osh, Issyk-ata and Karakulja regions were interviewed. In addition, a number of documents on the government-NGO relationship in Kyrgyzstan were reviewed. 83
