About

the Institute for Public Policy

The Institute for Public Policy is a Bishkek-based independent research and policy-making institution. Our goals are to promote a participatory approach in establishing public policy; to strengthen expert analysis in order to promote effective and informed decision-making in matters of public policy, and to create an independent platform for dialogue on public policy issues. The Institute provides expert consultation, research and surveys on Central Asian affairs, conflict management services, as well as implementation of educational projects aimed at promoting good governance.

The IPP is a distinctively novel organization in Kyrgyzstan.

The IPP is a non-partisan organization. We provide necessary analytical support for government and non-state actors, yet owe allegiance to none of them.
The IPP is a forum of assembly for all interested parties. We bring government representatives, opposition leaders, media and other actors together in a unique format not utilized by these separate actors themselves.
IPP activities are result-oriented. Besides monitoring political events and analyzing issues, the IPP is committed to recommending the best possible conclusions based on accurate research.

The Institute is founded and directed by Muratbek Imanaliev, Ambassador, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Dr. Chinara Jakypova, former Minister of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic.
