What is a Joint Country Support Strategy (JCSS)? The Joint Country Support Strategy (JCSS) for the Kyrgyz Republic presents a core strategy of five development partners to support the Kyrgyz’s development agenda for the period 2007-10. The strategy is a joint effort of: the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Swiss Cooperation (SC), the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the World Bank Group (WBG) and the United Nations Agencies. The JCSS is a medium-term framework for managing cooperation between the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and development partners to achieve national development and poverty reduction goals. It has been formulated in the spirit of national and international commitments and initiatives on aid effectiveness, particularly the Rome Declaration on Aid Harmonization and the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. Its objectives are to: align partners’ support with the goals of the Kyrgyz Republic’s Country Development Strategy 2007-10 (CDS); present the underpinnings of the group’s support; to reduce transaction costs, and ensure a coherent, well-coordinated response to support the implementation of the CDS. The JCSS is results oriented, with a monitoring and evaluation framework derived from the CDS. The reform agenda in the JCSS draws upon the authorities’ own stated commitments, explicitly articulated in the CDS, which will be supported by donor engagement, policy dialogue, financial assistance and analytical work. The JCSS broadly outlines the ways in which partners will support the Government’s efforts to achieve the CDS outcome targets. The JCSS is publicly available after the World Bank's Board of Directors in Washington has given its approval, and the borrowing country has consented to its public disclosure.
