Araket for better life in new settlements
Residents of the new settlements are the most vulnerable and are largely invisible to state support. Due to lack of legal status in their place of residence and lack of awareness, these residents have limited access to public services. Switzerland decided to support these left-behind population by raising awareness of their rights, providing access to public services, involving local governments in improving living conditions, creating economic opportunities for women and thus reducing their vulnerabilities.

Numéro de projet 7F10644
| Contexte | Due to 30 years of internal migration from rural to urban areas, agricultural land around Bishkek and Osh cities has been progressively illegally occupied. There are still 18 settlements (11 in Bishkek and 7 in Osh) without legal status, where over 120,000 people live. There is no inclusive urban planning strategy addressing issues/problems of informal settlements. Recent changes in the legislation create an opportunity for registration of these settlements, but it requires involvement of government authorities and dialogue with the communities of the new settlements to address their problems. Residents need to know about their rights and learn mechanisms to access public services. Women in these settlements, are more vulnerable and need to get new skills to get better income. |
| Objectifs | Improved livelihood and reduced vulnerabilities of the residents in the new settlements. |
| Groupes cibles | Main target group of the main phase is 93'000 residents living in 11 (7 in Bishkek and 4 in Osh) settlements; 43% of them are women. The municipal administrations of Bishkek, Osh and neighbouring municipalities will be targeted by the project by improving their capacities to address identified problems in the new settlements. |
| Effets à moyen terme | Residents of the new settlements are enabled to claim their rights, to access public services and improve their economic situation. |
| Résultats |
Principaux résultats attendus: Output 1: Local authorities are responsive to address problems/issues in the new settlements Output 2: Residents of the new settlements have access to public services and cultural, sport and leisure activities Output 3: Job/income opportunities improved for women in the new settlements Principaux résultats antérieurs: The results of the assessments conducted during the inception phase informed the project design and will be used as baseline data for indicators.
