On 11 December 2025, a one-day training workshop on the implementation of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects hosted in Osh for government and municipal officials.

The event was organized with the participation of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in Osh Region and the Regional Investment Council of Osh Region, in cooperation with the Public-Private Partnership Center under the National Investment Agency of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The training aimed to strengthen the institutional and human resource capacity of government and municipal officials, as well as to promote a practical, results-oriented approach to the application of PPP mechanisms as an effective tool for regional socio-economic development.

The workshop was officially opened by Iliyaz Tashbaev, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in Osh Region. In his welcoming remarks, he emphasized the importance of intensifying economic activity at the regional level, attracting investments, and ensuring the practical application of public-private partnership mechanisms within the day-to-day work of local authorities. He also highlighted that such capacity-building initiatives are expected to lead not to formal reporting, but to concrete initiatives and projects aimed at territorial development and improving the quality of life of the population.

Participants of the training included representatives of government and municipal authorities from Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Batken regions, including staff of local state administrations, local self-government bodies, and relevant sectoral institutions.

The training programme covered key aspects of PPP project development and implementation, including:

• the legal and regulatory framework for public-private partnerships in the Kyrgyz Republic;
• procedures for initiating, preparing, and implementing PPP projects;
• the role of government and municipal authorities in project facilitation and oversight;
• mechanisms for risk allocation between public and private partners;
• practical case studies of PPP project implementation.

Special attention was given to the use of public-private partnership mechanisms as an instrument for attracting investment, developing infrastructure, and improving the efficiency of public expenditure.

As a result of the training, participants gained practical knowledge and recommendations necessary for the preparation and implementation of PPP projects in their respective regions. It is expected that the outcomes of the workshop will be reflected in the development and initiation of concrete PPP projects aimed at addressing priority socio-economic challenges and supporting regional development objectives.

The organization of this training represents an important step toward enhancing investment activity and strengthening effective cooperation between the public sector and the business community at the regional level.

The event was held with the financial support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
