Synopsis: The number of organizations in the NGO sector in Kyrgyzstan has
grown significantly, reaching more than 8,000 by 2006. This increase has
been accompanied by better quality, which has been achieved through more
focused work and additional, improved capacity. However, the social side of
NGOs is experiencing problems because of the inadequate quality of
relationships among NGOs and between the NGO sector and other social
sectors. The social capital of Kyrgyzstan's NGO has not yet developed
sufficiently for them to become venues for collective action, which is
viewed as the main function of civil society.
