Funding for civil society organisations in Kyrgyzstan fell by 15.2 per cent over the year

In 2025, civil society organisations in Kyrgyzstan received 22.9 billion KGS in funding. This is 15.2 per cent less than the previous year. However, compared with 2021, the volume of funding increased by 23.3 per cent.

The decline is mainly due to a reduction in foreign aid and grants – by 4.9 billion KGS – as well as in earmarked funds – by 1.4 billion KGS. More than half of all funds received by civil society organisations came in the form of charitable contributions, sponsorship and donations – 51.8 per cent, or around 11.9 billion KGS. A further 15.6 per cent came from earmarked funding.

Meanwhile, the organisations’ expenditure continued to rise. In 2025, it amounted to 19.8 billion KGS, an increase of 3 per cent year-on-year and 23.2 per cent compared with 2021.
