The state of EITI implementation in the Kyrgyz Republic has been likened to a Janus state; a
place of beginnings and transitions that can lead to either prosperity or destruction. Moving
from 2010 ethnic conflicts and revisions to national legislature around land and tenure,
implementation of the EITI in the Kyrgyz Republic has the potential to increase efforts towards
accountability and transparency if EITI communications are improved and shared decision making around the purpose of the initiative and its revenue allocation are aligned at the local level. This report outlines this progress and some inherent opportunities for improvement.
