These agreements were signed on July 11, 2025, in Bishkek between Kyrgyzstan and the International Development Association, as well as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which acts as the administrator of the Trust Fund established for pandemic prevention and response.
The main objectives of the project are to prevent pandemics, strengthen the resilience of food systems, and protect the health of ecosystems in Central Asia. The program proposes an integrated "One Health" approach that encompasses human, animal, and environmental health.
