Development strategy
Purpose of Karakol city Development Strategy and Action Plan: The purpose of the Karakol city Development Strategy and Action Plan (CDSAP) is t develop a comprehensive framework for guiding the future development of Karakol until 2010. It must cover all the aspects that are important to the city and its residents, not just those aspects under the management of the city administration. Therefore, the CDSAP must actively involved all interested representatives of the community including the city administration, the city kenesh, NGOs, CBOs, the business community, to identify problems and priorities, and to mobilize resources to realize the full potential of the City of Karakol. The aim of this strategy is to bring all the organizations and individuals together, to work for the greater benefit of the community with a shared vision and a shared strategy of how to achieve that vision. The CDSAP is consistent with the Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF), the National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NSPR), the National Strategy for Decentralization and Further Development until 2010 and the Social and Economic Development Program of Karakol for 2004-2008. The City Strategy must be linked to a practical Action Plan for it to be achievable. Therefore, the CSAP contains a framework of prioritized action points that must be addressed between now and 2010. This will provide a general framework for the development of the annual budgets and work plans of the city administration as well as establishing a framework of cooperation and partnership with CBOs, NGOs, the business community and other sectors of the community. The Process: Mobilizing the active participation of the community, in such a planning process, is hard work and requires commitment from all involved. Firstly, we created a Steering Committee of 9 very active and dedicated people representing the city administration, city Kenesh, the city service section heads, rayon officials, NGOs and the business community. This Steering Committee is the ?brain trust? and is actively involved in all the activities of the CDSAP preparation. The Steering Committee was supported by a secretariat from the city administration with support and advice from our partner, the Urban Institute. Prior to starting the strategic planning phase, the secretariat prepared a comprehensive Karakol City Profile to document the existing conditions in the city as a factual basis for the planning. The Steering Committee, through several sessions, prepared an initial draft of Karakol City Vision and LSG Mission and rough outlines of the Strategy to accomplish that vision. They then conducted extensive meetings with various groups of stakeholders from the city: representatives of the business community, NGO, CBO, city services section heads, etc. Subsequent drafts were prepared which then incorporated the suggestions and comments of the numerous organizations and interested individuals who generously gave their time and efforts resulting in 3rd strategy draft working out. On the August 6th, 2004, to further improve CDSAP the Steering committee invited experts from the department of the Ministry for local government and regional development of the Kyrgyz Republic, Talas regional administration and Balykchy Central architectural organization for their contribution to the CDSAP, as well as political and financial support based upon their experience. Furthermore, the CDSAP draft was discussed and adopted at the Kuraltai on September 22nd, 2004. The recommendations and suggestions made by Kurultai participants have been included in the final draft of the CDSAP, which later, along with the list of prioritized investment projects, was approved by the City Kenesh on August 24th, 2004. It is necessary to involve all community sectors of Karakol city to complete the Strategy and to see its realization. The Karakol vision is a practical and achievable target for the year 2014, and reflects the priorities of all the sectors of the community. The City of Karakol is typical of the Issyk-Kul area; it is multinational, a student''s city, has manufacturing industries and is focused on mountaineering and boating tourism. In achieving this Vision, we have also tried to clearly define the Mission of Local Self Government. We see this mission not only in terms of delivering services to the residents, but in actively supporting local economic development and involving the community in meaningful partnership with the city government to achieve our Vision. MISSION OF LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENTMobilization of all forces within the community for the creation of favorable conditions for the comprehensive development of the city. STRUCTURE (DIRECTIONS) OF DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: 1. CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT 2. CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND MUNICIPAL PROPERTY 3. COMPETITIVE ECONOMY 4. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT 5. SAFE AND FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT For each of these major themes, the Strategy contains several strategic objectives; each of them is linked in the Action Plan to a list of practical actions that must be undertaken for their achievement. This includes actions of the city administration as well as those of all the other stakeholders working individually and in partnership with the city.
