| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Progress has been made in improving the investment climate, but substantial work is needed to increase the role of the formal private sector in economic growth. Constraining factors include lack of transparency and corruption; weak institutional frameworks and capacity to implement reforms; lack of access to affordable and long-term finance, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); deteriorating infrastructure; dwindling productive skills and skills mismatch with industry requirements; and weak coordination for investment promotion, and export product and market diversification. Project preparatory technical assistance (TA) is required to assist the government in designing and implementing reforms for financial deepening, access to finance, and trade and investment to increase the role of the formal private sector in the economic development of the Kyrgyz Republic. | ||||||||

| Business Opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Consulting Services | Consultant team recruited and Program Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) underway (start - October 2014). The TA will engage three international and five national consultants with investment and trade promotion, finance sector development, mobile services development, legal, and social expertise. PPP experts will be hired under a separate TA project (footnote 1). Given the diversity of expertise required, individual consultants are better suited than a firm. While working independently, the technical teams will coordinate as needed. All consultants will be recruited in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time). Disbursements will be made in accordance with ADB's Technical Assistance Disbursement Handbook (2010, as amended from time to time). Procurement will be in accordance with ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2013, as amended from time to time). 15. The Ministry of Economy (MOE) will be the executing agency. The proposed implementing agencies are MOE, the Ministry of Finance, and NBKR. The Macroeconomic and Investment Policy Coordination Council will be the high-level steering committee overseeing program implementation. To ensure continuity and sustainability of reforms, the implementation arrangements are the same as for the first ICIP. The TA will be implemented from September 2014 to June 2015. |
