The organization Mersiko is upgrading irrigation systems and drinking water infrastructure in 27 border villages in the Batken region of Kyrgyzstan.
The project receives funding from the German government through the PATRIP fund. Workers are currently improving water supply systems and irrigation channels in the villages of Pasky-Aryk, Samarkandek, Ak-Tatyr, Kapchigay, and Kok-Tash. These updates aim to expand opportunities for local farmers and improve the general quality of life for residents in the border areas.
Abdirashit Tashbaltayev, the Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Batken region, met with representatives from Mersiko and PATRIP to coordinate the project. Officials say the initiative, called "Water for Peace: Climate-Resilient and Peaceful Communities," will foster stability and strengthen peace in the region by ensuring effective use of water resources. The parties intend to continue cooperating on initiatives to improve local living conditions.
