AKIPRESS.COM - Swiss-FlagThe Government of Switzerland has allocated 1.75 million soms to six municipalities of Jalal-Abad and Issyk-Kul regions, the town of Balykchy. Every local authority has received a grant in the amount of 250,000 soms to improve public services at the municipal level, the Embassy of Switzerland said.

This support has been provided within the framework of the Swiss funded project "Public Services Improvement" implemented by consortium of organizations, composed of the Swiss NGO “Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation” and the local NGO “Development Policy Institute”.
