초록

The study aims to explore the implementation of the Korean Saemaul Undong in Kyrgyzstan and evaluate its contribution to local and rural development. We selected the KOICA-funded “Menin Ayilym” project for this study, which focuses on the Korean concept Saemaul Undong (New Village Development). The meaning of “Menin Ayilym” is “My Village.” My Village project started in the 30 pilot areas in 3 regions: Batken, Osh, and Chuy. The Batken region comprises 12 Saemaul pilot villages, Osh 15 and Chuy 3. In order to understand the Korean Saemaul Undong, the paper has outlined the theoretical foundations such as authoritarianism, democracy, and the developmental state. The results of the field research show that the acceptance of the Korean Saemaul Undong principles is so positive. At the same time, KOICA My Village focused on the traditional voluntary method known as ashar. Although KOICA My Village is still ongoing, the paper has presented the project's first results in the pilot regions. Infrastructure improvements such as rural road construction, education, and health facilities have positively impacted people’s lives in the country’s remote pilot areas. The article presents the contribution of the 30 pilot villages to the local-rural development in Kyrgyzstan.
