This report is part of a series of reports prepared by the World Bank using the Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER)-ECD framework and1 with financial and technical support from United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The Kyrgyz Republic has a population of 5.5 million inhabitants, of which 65 percent reside in rural locations. Nearly 36.8 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, and 8.6 percent of the eligible workforce is unemployed. SABE-ECD collects, analyzes and disseminates comprehensive information on ECD policies around the world. In each participating country, extensive multi-sectoral information is collected on ECD policies and programs through a desk review of available government documents, data and literature, and interviews with a range of ECD stakeholders, including government officials, service providers, civil society, development partners and scholars. The SABER-ECD framework presents a holistic and integrated assessment of how the overall policy environment in a country affects young children's development. SABER-ECD identifies three core policy goals that countries should address to ensure optimal ECD outcomes: establishing an enabling environment, implementing widely and monitoring and assuring quality.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO PRESCHOOLACCESS TO PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONADOPTED CHILDRENAGEDAGINGBASIC EDUCATIONBIRTH REGISTRATIONBOARDINGBOARDING SCHOOLSBREAST MILKBREAST MILK SUBSTITUTESBREASTFEEDINGCAPACITY BUILDINGCARE FOR CHILDRENCAREGIVERSCHILD ABUSECHILD CARECHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD EDUCATIONCHILD HEALTHCHILD PROTECTIONCHILD REARINGCHILDCARECHILDREN WITH DISABILITIESCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTCOST EFFECTIVENESSCOST PER CHILDCURRICULACURRICULUMDAY CAREDAY NURSERIESDIETSDIPHTHERIADISABILITYDISABLED CHILDRENDISSEMINATIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCEEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD CAREEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONEARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMSEARLY LEARNINGECCEECDECD POLICIESECD PROGRAMSEDUCATION FACILITIESEDUCATION LAWEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SYSTEMSEFFECTIVE POLICIESEMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENTENROLLMENTENROLLMENT DATAENROLLMENT RATEEQUITABLE ACCESSEXERCISESEXTENDED FAMILYFAMILIESFAMILY SUPPORTFINANCIAL COMMITMENTFINE MOTOR SKILLSFOLIC ACIDFORMAL EARLY LEARNINGFORMAL EDUCATIONGENDERGENDER GAPGENERAL EDUCATIONGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEGROWTH MONITORINGHEALTH CAREHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH OF MOTHERSHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH WORKERSHIVHOLISTIC DEVELOPMENTHOME VISITINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHYGIENEILLNESSESIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATIONSINDICATORS OF CHILD DEVELOPMENTINDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENTINFANCYINFANTINFANT FEEDINGINFANT MORTALITYINFANTSINSTRUCTIONINTEGRATED ASSESSMENTINTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSINTERVENTIONIODINE DEFICIENCYIRONKINDERGARTENKINDERGARTENSLAWSLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE CYCLELITERACYLIVE BIRTHSLIVING CONDITIONSMANDATESMARKETINGMATERNITY LEAVEMENTAL DEVELOPMENTMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYMOTHERMOTHER TONGUEMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL LAWSNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL POLICYNATIONAL STRATEGYNET ENROLLMENTNEWBORNSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMERACYNURSINGNUTRITIONOBESITYOPEN SOCIETYORPHANSPARENTAL LEAVEPARENTINGPATERNITY LEAVEPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPERSONAL HYGIENEPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY GOALSPOLICY LEVERPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL CHANGEPOPULATION GROUPSPRACTITIONERSPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRENATAL NUTRITIONPREPRIMARY EDUCATIONPREPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTPREPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRESCHOOL EDUCATIONPRESCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRESCHOOL FACILITIESPRESCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY CURRICULUMPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC DISCOURSEPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF LIFEQUALITY PRESCHOOLREADINGREGISTRATION OF CHILDRENREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRIGHTS OF CHILDRENRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL LOCATIONSSCHOOL READINESSSCREENINGSECONDARY EDUCATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSET OF GOALSSKILLED ATTENDANTSSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SUPPORTSOCIAL WELFARESOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSPECIAL EDUCATIONSPECIAL NEEDSSPEECH DISORDERSSTDSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSUPPORT TO FAMILIESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTETANUSTRAINING PROGRAMSTREATIESTUBERCULOSISURBAN AREASVACCINESVIOLENCEVITAMIN A DEFICIENCYVULNERABLE FAMILIESWELLNESSWORKERSWORKFORCEYOUNG CHILDRENYOUTHWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/16279
