3.2.5. What are the Solutions to the Challenges Faced in the
Implementation of SDGs Activities?
In contrast to Komnas HAM and the ICHR in which the researchers
obtained direct answers to the questions about the solutions to challenges in
dealing with the SDGs, the answers in this section are obtained indirectly. When
we discuss the contribution of the Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz Republic to
the SDGs activities, Azarbekov stated that the Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz
Republic can increase its contribution to the process related to the SDGs.83 A
clear example described by Azarbekov was when the Ombudsman Office of the
Kyrgyz Republic improved the quality of human rights data to the government. 84
The Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz Republic also has a role in providing
recommendations and analysis on human rights issues to the government.85
3.2.6. How Does Sharing Experiences Between Human Rights
Institutions Benefit the Implementation and Optimization of SDGs?
Similar to Sub-chapter 3.2.5., answers to the questions on sharing
experiences were not obtained directly. Azarbekov in the national context
supports collaboration and sharing of experiences with other institutions in order
to improve the quality of reports internationally. 86 Azarbekov also stated the
need to develop a mechanism that serves as a platform for exchanging
information related to the SDGs achievement.87
In 2017 the Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz Republic has also played a
role in founding the Eurasian Ombudsman Alliance.88 One of the activities
carried out by the Eurasian Ombudsman Alliance is organizing events that can
be categorized as experience-sharing events, such as the international
conference titled “Human Rights Protection in Eurasia: Exchange of the Best
Practices of Ombudspersons” which was held on 17 November 2020.89
“Questions on SDG related Experiences since January 2020” (n. 9), Askat Azarbekov’s
answers (Chief of the Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz Republic).
