Editor’s Note: Landlocked in Central Asia, the Kyrgyz Republic has a population of 6.5 million people, two-thirds of whom live in rural areas. As in many parts of the world, the COVID-19 crisis has hit the Kyrgyz Republic hard, with over 83,000 cases and 1,394 deaths reported so far.  As part of the World Bank’s support to the country in responding effectively to the pandemic, under the Sustainable Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Development Project, specific COVID-related communication activities at the national level were initiated, and ongoing activities at the local level were adapted to the COVID-19 context. The below Q&A with Susanna Smets, Aidai Bayalieva, Togzhan Alibekova – the World Bank team working on the project – sheds a light on these activities.
