Governance Support Program: The purpose of this proposed four-year activity titled Governance Support Program (GSP) is to
strengthen the accountability, effectiveness and transparency of governance in
Turkmenistan. This will be achieved by implementing activities that will actively work in Turkmenistans
priority areas to introduce theoretical and practical fundamentals of good governance in accordance
with best international practices primarily to executive branch civil servants and secondarily to
legislative branch civil servants. Further, activities must be designed to increase transparency and
incorporate more effective public sector dialogue with civil society, since accountability mechanisms
cannot work if there is an informational imbalance between the supply and demand sides of the public
service delivery equation. Specifically, USAID is seeking to support achievement of the following
objectives:
1. Improved Public Administration of Government of Turkmenistan (GOTX) Institutions
2. Strengthened Policy Development and Lawmaking Processes
The GSP will directly support Intermediate Results (IR) 3.1 and 3.2 under the USAID/CA Regional
Development Cooperation Strategy (RDCS) Objective 3, More Effective and Inclusive Governance
Institutions that Serve the Public Good.
As government institutions clarify their roles and the respective services they offer to the general
public, including civil society and private sector enterprises, the achievement of good governance and
other development goals in education, economic growth, and health among others become
increasingly realistic. This program sets the foundation not only for good governance, but also for
broader achievement of development goals across various disciplines.
