For the past 30 years, international NGO Acted has been going the last mile to save lives. Currently, Acted supports 20 million people across 43 countries to meet their needs in hard-to-reach areas – and pursues a triple mandate as a humanitarian, environmental and development aid actor. Acted relies on an in-depth knowledge of local territories and contexts to develop and implement relevant long-term actions, with a wide range of local and international partners, building together a “3ZERO” world: Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty
Acted is committed to a 3Zero world of Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, and Zero Poverty. Acted has been active in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) since the mid-1990s, helping to address the region’s main challenges and fostering opportunities for sustainable and inclusive development. This includes a special focus on civil society development, governance and participatory development processes.
Effective Governance for Economic Development (EGED) is a programme of the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) implemented from 2020-2025 in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to improve the effectiveness, accountability and transparency of economic policies.
While Pillar 1, implemented by the World Bank, supports effective, evidence-informed design and delivery of economic policies, Pillar 2 supports civil society & media to promote accountability on selected policies, using data and evidence. Pillar 2 is implemented by Acted with civil society partners in all three countries from July 2021 to October 2025.
The project is innovative by design, building on a range of best practices and new approaches in governance programming. It notably integrates a ‘supply and demand’ approach to policy engagement, empowering both government agencies and civil society and media organisations to better use data and evidence to promote more effective governance. The project applies rigorous political economy analysis (PEA), Thinking and Working Politically (TWP), and other approaches to enable adaptive, issue-based programming with a results-focused approach.
