BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, August 7. Development of
the transport sector is among the main priorities of the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Kyrgyzstan, a source at
JICA told Trend .
"Infrastructure development for industry diversification is one
of the pillar directions in JICA's cooperation with Kyrgyzstan,
including the development of the transport sector. The public roads
in the country ensure 98 percent passenger and 96 percent freight
traffic. Since the early 1990s, the government of Kyrgyzstan has
taken active measures to broaden and maintain the international
trunk road network of the country to ensure export activities. JICA
has been contributing to the development of international trunk
roads in several directions," the source said.
The agency's efforts in Kyrgyzstan focus on road and bridge
reconstruction, maintenance, and road disaster prevention.
"JICA has supported the supply of road equipment (asphalt
plants, stone crushing facilities, dump trucks, road rollers, motor
grades, asphalt finishers) to all the regions of Kyrgyzstan," the
source added.
JICA is an independent agency founded in 1974 that supports the
economic and social development of developing countries on behalf
of the Japanese government. In Kyrgyzstan, it focuses on supporting
continuous, balanced economic growth to drive the
institutionalization of democracy.
Under this policy, JICA aims to diversify industry and create
jobs by promoting agricultural exports, industry, and SMEs, as well
as developing infrastructure for industry diversification.
Additionally, JICA seeks to improve government administration and
social services.
