CASA1000 Community Support Project and CSP Additional Financing

The Project Objective is to engage communities in the development of social and economic infrastructure in order to enhance services, livelihoods and inclusion in target oblasts near the CASA1000 Transmission Line.

CASA-1000 CSP covers 77 villages of Jalal-Abad, Osh, Batken Oblasts within the Corridor of Impact of CASA1000 Transmission Line (TL).

Additional Financing for CSP covers the remaining 150 Ayil Aimaks (sub-districts) of Jalal-Abad, Osh, Batken Oblasts.

The project will support community mobilization and capacity building to ensure active engagement in decision-making regarding socio-economic infrastructure investments, ensuring alignment with community needs. Additionally, it will promote youth participation in awareness-raising and social accountability activities, empowering young women and men to lead such efforts within their communities.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, additional funding for CSP will aid in the rehabilitation or establishment of economically viable value chains. This will involve investing in the rehabilitation or construction of facilities to reestablish income sources and economic infrastructure, empowering vulnerable populations most affected by the pandemic crisis.
