This report draws upon and synthesizes published sources to assess the current and prospective risk of violent extremism and insurgency (VE/I) in Kyrgyzstan. It is not the result of extensive field study and, thus, it cannot claim to offer an in-depth analysis of VE/I in Kyrgyzstan. Rather, it utilizes existing sources in order to provide an overview of key drivers, mitigants, actors, and trends related to VE/I in the country with the aim of informing the USAID’s strategy and programs. The framework used to make this assessment is based on the Guide to the Drivers of Violent Extremism, produced for USAID by Management Systems International (MSI).
