USAID/Kyrgyz Republic intends to extend Task Order AID-176-TO-14-00001 with Deloitte Consulting LLP under the Business Growth Initiative activity in the Kyrgyz Republic by 12 months and increase the total estimated cost by approximately $1.5 million.

By leveraging existing commercial relationships between local firms and international buyers, the extension seeks to enhance operational, financial, and legal business practices to boost sales and secure market opportunities. This contract modification under USAID/Central Asia will enable Deloitte to build on prior investments by mobilizing private sector capital from beneficiaries and third-party investors. The effort supports sustained growth and competitiveness of small enterprises in the Kyrgyz market. The contracting office overseeing this effort is based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with the place of performance designated as Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The contract involves close coordination with USAID representatives to ensure successful implementation and measurable impact on local economic development.
