The Audit Chamber identified violations in the registration of grant projects amounting to 10.9 billion soms for the years 2022–2024
The audit results revealed systemic shortcomings in the process of attracting and utilizing international grant and technical assistance.
According to available data, only 13 ministries and 6 agencies are engaged in the implementation of grant projects, while three state bodies, namely the Agency for the Control of the Production and Circulation of Ethyl Alcohol and Alcohol Products, the Agency for Vehicle Registration and Driver Licensing, and the Agency for Deposit Protection, did not implement any projects.
During the audited period, the Ministry reviewed 233 project applications, of which 167 were approved.
The registry of international grant and technical assistance includes 120 projects with a total amount of 25.2 billion soms:
- 2022: 21 projects totaling 1.6 billion soms;
- 2023: 37 projects totaling 8.5 billion soms;
- 2024: 62 projects totaling 15.1 billion soms.
The number of registered projects increased threefold — from 21 to 62. The largest number of projects was presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs — 16 (25.8%), followed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic with 12 projects (19.3%).
During the audit, serious violations were identified: in 2022–2023, 22 projects totaling 5.7 million soms were registered under the protocols of the Presidential Administration without the necessary conclusion from the authorized body on feasibility.
In 2024, similar violations were recorded in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, where 66.7% of projects (8 out of 12) were registered after the expiration of their implementation period, and in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 68.7% (11 out of 16) were implemented in violation of established requirements.
By the end of 2024, 128 international projects had been implemented totaling 33,955.3 million soms, while only 76 projects were registered for 23 billion 52.4 million soms; 52 projects totaling 10 billion 902.9 million soms remained unregistered.
Of the unregistered projects, 40.4% (21 projects) pertain to the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Food Processing, and 21% are attributed to the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Health.
- Executive agencies violated clauses 9, 11, and 13 of the Regulation approved by Government Resolution No. 389 dated June 19, 2017, by implementing projects without obtaining a feasibility conclusion and registration.
