My research evaluates whether there have been significant changes in the quantity or, more importantly, the quality of anti-corruption efforts in the Kyrgyz Republic following the April Revolution of 2010. I examine cross-sector reforms, as well as those in the areas of economics, education, energy, health, judiciary, and media. Generally speaking, the number of anti-corruption efforts increased, although not in those sectors that depend on financial support from international development organizations. Substantive improvements in quality were limited to the energy and media sectors.
