$9.6 million

are needed this year to ensure that operations covered by the Kazakhstan multi-country office* are sustained

*UNHCR’s operations in Kyrgyzstan are managed by the Kazakhstan multi-country office, which also oversees operations in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, with needs budgeted jointly.

In Kyrgyzstan, UNHCR assists asylum-seekers and refugees, mainly from Afghanistan, Syria, and Ukraine. The organization works closely with the government to integrate refugees into national services, support livelihoods, and facilitate local integration for long-term residents. 

A major success has been Kyrgyzstan's role as the first country in the world to resolve all known cases of statelessness, with UNHCR continuing to support legal reforms that ensure every child born in the country receives birth registration. Community engagement remains central to fostering social cohesion and self-reliance.
