Organizational Setting
The main aim of FAO Country Office, headed by an FAO Representative, is to assist governments to develop policies, programmes and projects to achieve food security and to reduce hunger and malnutrition, to help develop the agricultural, fisheries and forestry sectors, and to use their environmental and natural resources in a sustainable manner. FAO Kyrgyzstan assists the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to develop policies, programmes and projects to address the root causes of hunger and malnutrition, to develop the agricultural, fisheries and forestry sectors and to use environmental and natural resources in a sustainable manner. FAO participates in the development and implementation of field projects in the sectors of food security, agriculture and rural development. This requires the integration within the broader framework of sustainable food and agriculture that aims at increasing production and productivity, addressing climate change, and managing natural resources; and enhance rural livelihoods.
In this context, the FAO is implementing in collaboration with the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic FAO/GEF regional project “Lifecycle Management of Pesticides and Disposal of POPs Pesticides in Central Asian countries and Türkiye” (the POPs project). The project aims at the environmentally sound disposal of up to 900 metric tonnes of POPs and obsolete pesticides and remediate pesticide-contaminated sites (Component 1); strengthen the institutional and regulatory framework for managing pesticides throughout their lifecycle (Component 2); increase the successful uptake of alternatives to chemical pesticides on key crops (Component 3); and share project lessons (Component 4). The project beneficiary countries are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Türkiye. In Kyrgyzstan, within the project’s Component 1, two central stores for obsolete pesticides (OP) shall be built where the repackaged OP will be stored until an environmentally friendly disposal option will become available in Kyrgyzstan. Potential locations for the central stores have been identified and preliminary discussions held with the local and government authorities.
