Descripción
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of Kyrgyzstan’seconomy and accounts for one quarter of Gross Domestic Product(GDP). The sector is the largest source of employment in the country,engaging around half of the economically active population.A significant number of Kyrgyz private veterinarians are unaware oftheir rights and responsibilities, while local authorities lack awarenessof the role of private veterinarians within the community. To date,the sizeable international investment made in the animal healthand production sector has been planned without the participationof the real service providers, namely the veterinarians, and managedby non-professional agencies. To redress this imbalance, the projectaimed to establish a National Veterinary Association and a continuingeducation system for the country’s private veterinarians.
