This paper presents the findings of an impact evaluation research examining the extent the community driven development intervention imple-mented during 2014-2017 strengthened social cohesion in two regions in Kyrgyzstan. Our findings are that, on the one hand, the CDD project led to a sense of unity and cooperation and to a perception of improvements in local governance and educational services.

The research was led by principal investigator Professor Tilman Brück, Director of ISDC - International Security and Development Center and Dr Roman Mogilevskii, Associate Director at the Institute for Public Policy and Administration at the University of Central Asia (IPPA UCA). The research team furthermore included Dr. Damir Esenaliev, Dr Anastasia Aladysheva, and Gulzhan Asylbek kyzy from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), and Dr Kanat Tilekeyev and Aida Bolotbekova from IPPA UCA.
