Summary of the Conflict Filter Application in the Kyrgyz Republic (FY14)
Core Content
This report provides an overview of the application of the Conflict Filter in the Kyrgyz Republic during its third year of implementation (FY14). The Conflict Filter was introduced in 2011 by the World Bank to help identify and manage conflict and fragility risks in its funded activities. The goal is to improve the design of projects to reduce conflict-related risks and strengthen social cohesion.
The report outlines the methodology, key conflict stressors, and the activities undertaken by the Conflict Filter Team in FY14. It also highlights selected project examples where the Conflict Filter influenced project design and implementation. Finally, it shares lessons learned and recommendations for future application.
Main Objectives of the Conflict Filter
- Assist task teams in understanding the context in which they operate
- Identify and manage conflict and fragility risks in World Bank-supported activities
- Support the identification of measures to strengthen trust, social inclusion, and cohesion
- Promote good practices for conflict management and citizen engagement in fragile environments
Methodology for Conflict Filter Rollout in FY14
The Conflict Filter Team refined its approach in FY14 based on previous feedback, focusing on:
- A streamlined and selective approach: Targeting projects and AAA (Analytical and Advisory Activities) with direct beneficiaries or potential conflict risks
- Focus on the design stage: Prioritizing pipeline projects where early engagement with task teams can have the most impact
- Tailored Conflict Filter matrix: Customizing the matrix to fit the specific needs and priorities of each project, ensuring practicality and relevance
Information Collection Methods
- Desk reviews: Analyzing project documents, research reports, and media sources
- Direct consultations and focus groups: Engaging with stakeholders and informants in Bishkek, Osh, and project areas
- Joint and separate missions: Collaborating with task teams and conducting independent assessments
Key Conflict Stressors in the Kyrgyz Republic
- Political instability: Although stabilized after 2010, the parliamentary system remains fragile
- Inter-ethnic tensions: Persistent issues with border disputes and regional development visions
- Corruption and inequality: Concerns over resource distribution and elite rivalry
- Social and infrastructure challenges: Limited access to services, weak dispute resolution, and migration pressures
- Geographical disparities: Perceived unfairness in the distribution of donor-funded programs between regions
Conflict Filter Activities in FY14
The Conflict Filter Team conducted activities in three categories:
a) Projects under Preparation (Pipeline Projects)
| Project | Conflict Filter Activity |
|---|---|
| VIP3 | Conflict Filter matrix filled out and sensitivity review completed |
| Electricity Supply Improvement Project | Conflict sensitivity brief prepared, data on socioeconomic conditions collected |
| Pasture and Livestock Improvement Project | Conflict Filter matrix filled out and sensitivity review completed |
| CASA 1000 | Conflict sensitivity review prepared for future updates |
| CARS1/CARS2 | 20-page conflict sensitivity report prepared on border regions |
b) Projects under Implementation/Completion
| Project | Conflict Filter Activity |
|---|---|
| Bishkek Osh Urban Infrastructure Project (BOUIP) | Ex-post review conducted, participation in implementation support mission |
| On-Farm Irrigation Project (OIP-2) | Conflict sensitivity review completed, support for ToR and training manual |
c) Analytical and Advisory Activities
| Activity | Conflict Filter Activity |
|---|---|
| Mining Sector Studies | Inputs provided to three studies |
| Electricity Tariff Study | Inputs to Concept Note and Terms of Reference |
| Forestry Economic and Sector Work | Comments incorporated into Concept Note |
Selected Project Examples
1. Third Village Investment Program (VIP3) - Preparation
Summary Findings:
- Public dissatisfaction with low state capacity to deliver public goods
- Inequality in local government participation and resource access
- Socio-cultural barriers to community participation
- Inadequate social infrastructure in remote areas
- Perceived geographical bias in donor-funded programs
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Inclusion of both subsidized and self-sustaining municipalities
- Use of "wellbeing" as a key criterion in community selection
- Training for project selection committees to ensure transparency
- Targeted social and conflict assessments in high-risk areas
2. Electricity Supply Accountability and Reliability Improvement Project - Preparation
Summary Findings:
- Concerns over utility tariffs and fears of social unrest
- Public discontent with low-quality services
- Perceived corruption in the electricity supply system
- Inequality in payment behavior among users
- Low civil society participation in reforms
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Conducting consumer satisfaction surveys
- Focusing on gender-disaggregated data
- Strengthening complaints handling systems
- Improving communication and information-sharing with stakeholders
3. Pasture and Livestock Improvement Project - Preparation
Summary Findings:
- Strain on resources due to migration and poor infrastructure
- Ambiguity in pasture boundaries and usage rights
- Weak community participation in decision-making
- Limited dispute resolution mechanisms
- Sensitivities around user fees and historical usage patterns
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Using ECAPDEV funding to review dispute resolution mechanisms
- Assessing and improving citizen engagement in PUUs
- Training selected PUUs to enhance community representation
4. Central Asia Road Links (CARS1/CARS2) and Border-Related Projects - Preparation
Summary Findings:
- Migration and demographic growth increasing pressure on border resources
- Ambiguous boundaries and enclaves complicating inter-state relations
- Competition for scarce resources heightening inter-ethnic tensions
- Poor quality of services in border areas increasing distrust in government
- Long-term isolation reinforcing feelings of injustice
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Hiring a communications specialist to support stakeholder engagement
- Developing a unified communication strategy with Ministry counterparts
- Ensuring inclusive and transparent dialogue with local communities and governments
5. Bishkek Osh Urban Infrastructure Project (BOUIP) - Implementation
Summary Findings:
- Tensions between beneficiary and non-beneficiary communities
- Poor interaction between the implementing agency and local CSOs
- Limited community involvement in implementation and monitoring
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Expanding information distribution to non-beneficiary communities
- Improving the community development framework with screening and monitoring questions
- Conducting community surveys as part of focus group discussions
6. On-Farm Irrigation Project (OIP-2) - Implementation
Summary Findings:
- Concerns over water distribution and access
- Inequality in water rights and usage
- Potential for disputes among water user associations
Conflict-Sensitive Design Elements:
- Supporting the development of ToR and training manuals
- Enhancing transparency and inclusiveness in water user associations
Lessons Learned
- Early engagement with task teams is crucial for effective conflict-sensitive design
- Tailoring the Conflict Filter matrix to individual projects ensures practical relevance
- Continuous dialogue with local communities and stakeholders helps identify and address potential conflicts
- Strengthening communication and information-sharing is essential for building trust
- Addressing socio-cultural and institutional barriers is necessary for inclusive project design
Going Forward: Recommendations
- Continue to prioritize early-stage conflict assessments
- Expand the use of the Conflict Filter to more projects and AAA activities
- Enhance the integration of conflict-sensitive design elements into project planning
- Strengthen collaboration with local governments and civil society organizations
- Develop and disseminate best practices for conflict management and citizen engagement in fragile environments
This summary highlights the importance of conflict sensitivity in World Bank-funded activities in the Kyrgyz Republic and outlines the steps taken to integrate this approach into project design and implementation.
