Description

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

Kyrgyz citizens had high expectations for a new, productive era following the 2010 revolution. However, the current government has failed to deliver notable economic or social change. This, combined with public frustration at high levels of corruption - which was an important cause of the 2010 and 2005 revolutions - could result in Kyrgyzstan slipping back towards the pre-2010 system of autocratic governance through another revolution or constitutional change when a moratorium on amending the constitution ends in 2020.

The Governance in Action programme aims to improve performance in these areas to make the political system more responsive to citizens' expectations while also addressing the binding constraints to inclusive growth.

The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the programme outcome of "a more responsive political system that fosters citizens' trust and helps to address the constraints to inclusive growth."

The main expected results of the programme are:
• Improved parliamentary committee capacity to scrutinise legislation and hold government to account;
• Increased used of evidence based policies in political parties' approach to winning public support; and
• The political system is demonstrating that it can meet citizens' priority concerns.

The supplier will deliver Outputs 1 and 3 of the Governance in Action programme. National Democratic Institute (NDI) Kyrgyzstan will deliver Output 2 through a separate Accountable Grant agreement with DFID.
