Paragraph 1, page 3

With half of the population under 24, the Kyrgyz Republic is at a unique demographic juncture. Over a third of the country’s population is between 15 and 25 years old (49 percent women and 51 percent men), representing a great opportunity to benefit from a demographic dividend, provided relevant policies and programmes are implemented including on health, quality education, job creation, volunteering development and investments in women and girls and good governance. Migration poses a significant challenge to the country’s demography due to the especially high emigration rates of young people. With the right long-term investments, today’s children, adolescents and youth can take the country to the next stage of socio-economic development. 

Paragraph 2, page 39

Civil society organizations, including volunteer community-based organizations, will be one of the partners to accelerate UNSDCF results with the goals of outreach, community empowerment and ensuring human rights for the most left behind groups. Partnership with media and opinion leaders/influencers will be strengthened to foster results in conveying key messages for individual self-care and social change.   

Paragraph 1, page 51

Output 1.1 Indicator (SDG 5.6.2) Laws and regulations that guarantee full and equal access to women and men aged 15 years and older to sexual and reproductive health care, information and education, as well as volunteerism.
