A recent meeting was held between the UNDP’s Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (ICPSD) and the Secretariat of the Investment Council. The ICPSD is currently in the process of developing the SDG Investor Map Kyrgyzstan, an initiative designed to guide and attract investments in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This process involves close collaboration with stakeholders across various sectors to share preliminary findings and gather valuable insights on local needs and opportunities.

The SDG Investor Map aims to be a comprehensive tool that will help mobilize investors by pinpointing specific business models that not only align with government priorities but also promise a sustainable impact. It will provide in-depth market intelligence and data-driven business models, focusing on five key sectors: infrastructure, education, agriculture, tourism, and waste management. This detailed approach is expected to highlight areas of high potential and guide investors toward opportunities that can drive both economic growth and social progress in Kyrgyzstan.

The Investment Council continues to play a critical role in this endeavor, coordinating efforts among stakeholders, providing direct access to decision-makers, and facilitating discussions to overcome potential barriers. By fostering a collaborative environment, the Investment Council is committed to enhancing the investment climate and ensuring that projects align with both national priorities and sustainable development goals.
