During a two-week preparatory trip to the Kyrgyz Republic in August 2011, I met with representatives of survey research organizations in Bishkek to determine which organization will carry out the second wave of public opinion surveys about economic inequality first conducted in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 2007. I also made determinations about the size and design of the sample and obtained detailed cost estimates. Securing each of these components is critical for the nationally representative surveys I plan to organize and oversee in summer of 2012.
