Status
The Kyrgyz Republic published its inaugural NAP on 11 January 2025.
Process
A report by the Kyrgyz Ombudsman titled “On the Observance of Human and Civil Rights and Freedoms in 2021”, included a recommendation that the Cabinet of Ministers if the Kyrgyz Republic develop and adopt a NAP on BHR to implement the UNGPs. On 16 June 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic subsequently committed to develop a NAP on BHR to implement the UN Guiding Principles.
On January 19 2023, the First Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce issued an order establishing an interdepartemental working group to draft the NAP. The working group was authorised, where necessary, to involve ministries, administrative departments, other executive bodies, interdependent experts, and consultants in the drafting process. The Business Environment Policy Department was tasked with providing organisational and methodological support for the group’s activities.
The NAP was developed with support from UNDP, which provided technical assistance to the Ministry of Economy and Commerce and the Office of the Ombudsperson of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The NAP was published on 11 January 2025 and covers the period 2025-2027.
