During the social mobilization, local communities considered addressing environmental issues as the most important priority for this part of the southern water area of Lake Issyk-Kul.

The total cost of the subproject amounted to KGS 6,404,000. By the way, this AA includes 9 villages (after administrative and territorial reform).
Mr. Zhyrgal Zarnaev Zhakshylykovich, Head of Ak-Terek ayil aimak, speaking at the ceremony said: “We thank the ARIS for the support. Thanks to successful social mobilization under the VIP-3 AF project, we have solved a very urgent problem of our villages.”
The subproject will benefit 8,501 direct beneficiaries and 15,000 indirect beneficiaries.
Head of the State Administration - Akim of Ton rayon, Mr. Bayyshbek Astankulov Kakhromanovich emphasized the effective activity of the VIP-3 AF in improving social infrastructure: “Today we can see how the population's access to quality medical services is improving - health centers are being built, kindergartens and schools are being renovated.
