Russia Sends Over 1,067 Tons of Food Aid to Kyrgyzstan

Why this is here: Participants in capacity-building trainings will receive 150 kilograms of fortified wheat flour and 15 liters of vegetable oil for their involvement.

The Russian Federation delivered at least 1,067 tons of food aid to the UN World Food Programme in Kyrgyzstan. The shipment arrived at warehouses located in Bishkek and Osh. This contribution supports vulnerable families through projects focused on infrastructure, climate change, and assistance for people with disabilities.

WFP will use the aid within existing programs. These include paid public works managed by Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Labor and a nutrition program for individuals with disabilities. Roughly 18,000 people will receive enriched wheat flour and vegetable oil while working on community projects.

The aid exchange requires participation in restoring infrastructure and building resilience to disasters. Russia has been the largest donor to WFP in Kyrgyzstan for the past fifteen years. Future collaboration between WFP and the Russian Federation will continue to support vulnerable groups in the country.
