In November, ACTED completed construction on two irrigation projects in the South of Kyrgyzstan. Carried out in collaboration with the support of the American people through the U.S. Agency for International Development and the European Union, these activities were part of a national project ‘Conflict Mitigation and Peace Building in Kyrgyzstan’ implemented by the Transition and Rehabilitation Alliance for Southern Kyrgyzstan (TASK). TASK is a group of international and national NGOs advocating for a longer-term and coordinated action to address the underlying triggers and causes of conflict in the region. In October, ACTED staff visited the project site in Alai Rayon to meet with the communities affected by the project.
