The aim of this study is to measure the degree of self-reliance of local residents in Kyrgyzstan. The study draws on the results of a baseline survey for implementing an aid project for rural development, which is being carried out in Kyrgyzstan in collaboration with Korea’s Good Neighbours International (GNI) and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). In this study, a decision tree analysis was performed to analyse the level of self-reliance of Kyrgyzstan residents, along with the combination of variables that affect self-reliance.
