The University of Central Asia (UCA) – our partner in Kyrgyzstan
The University of Central Asia (UCA) is a world-class centre for knowledge and learning, connecting isolated rural communities with the global community and building human capital needed for modern economies and stable governance.
EFI-Supported Initiatives in Kyrgyzstan
Key joint projects include the Economics Olympiad, the Teacher’s Award recognizing outstanding educators, and the annual Akchasana Conference. Together with public awareness campaigns in new media and a series of smaller offline events, these efforts have significantly advanced economic literacy and civic engagement across the country.
Supporting students in the Economics Olympiad
UCA supports students in the Economics Olympiad by organizing and administering the competition, providing high-quality academic content, and ensuring equal access for students from all regions, including rural areas. UCA also covers participation costs for national finalists and prepares five finalists for the International Final round of EO.
