| Summary: | This report presents findings of social
research conducted in the Akshiyrak Aiyl Okmotu of
Kyrgyzstan (located in Jeti-Oguz raion, Issykkul province).
The aim of the research was to study the current social
situation in Akshiyrak Aiyl Okmotu and the potential social,
economic, and ecological impact of the construction and
operation of the mine at the Togolok gold deposit. The
findings of the research will be used by the World Bank for
assisting and advising the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic
on conducting the tender for the Togolok gold deposit. Past
experiences have demonstrated that mining can have several
positive and negative impacts on the communities surrounding
the mine. This research project was intended to offer a
partial insight into how the presence of a gold mine may
impact Akshiyrak. To fulfill the aim of the research,
firstly, a desk study was conducted which looked at the
community involvement in the mining sector in Kyrgyzstan
including the relevant legislation. Secondly, fieldwork was
undertaken in the Akshiyrak Aiyl Okmotu where interviews and
focus groups with key actors and residents of the community
were held. Finally, the findings of the research were
presented by the research team to representatives of the
Akshiyrak community in a validation workshop and the
findings were adjusted accordingly. |
