USAID job with AIDS/TB/Education Programs in Kyrgyzstan
The USAID Kyrgyz Republic Mission (USAID/KR) is headquartered in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, with a sub-office in Osh in the south of the country. The Kyrgyz Republic is bordered by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China and is an emerging parliamentary democracy still recovering from a violent political transition in 2010. Because it serves as a model for democracy in the region, and because of its proximity to South Asia and its potential to contribute to stability in nearby Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Kyrgyz Republic is of considerable geopolitical and strategic interest to the United States.
The U.S. Government’s program of assistance in the Kyrgyz Republic is focused on the growth of diversified enterprise and trade; building a more open, democratic culture; better management of environmental resources, including energy; and improved HIV and Tuberculosis and education services. The mission manages over $35 million in assistance funds annually. The Mission implements its programs together with more than 30 contractor and grantee teams.
The Mission currently has three technical offices: the Economic Development Office (EDO), the Democracy and Governance Office (DGO) and the Health and Education Office (HEO). The HEO manages a diverse program of country-specific and regional activities and an annual portfolio of over $10 million. The HEO currently manages activities in the following areas:
• 3.1.1 HIV/AIDS
• 3.1.2 Tuberculosis
• 3.2.1 Basic Education
• 3.2.2 Higher Education
