In particular, the document explains three levels of building youth interventions: initiatives implemented under the mandate of local self-governance bodies, state bodies, and promoting initiatives at the national level. The State Agency on Youth Affairs, Physical Education and Sports under the Government of Kyrgyz Republic and the State Agency on Local Self Governance and Interethnic Relations under the Government of Kyrgyz Republic welcomed the roadmap and expressed their readiness to disseminate the document among wide range of stakeholders in the country. |
