Appendix

Approved by the Order of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic of October 27, 2015 No. 736

The program of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic for development of the sphere of culture till 2020

1. Description of the current situation

§1.1. Ideological circle

Today in the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as many other countries which followed way of market development in all fields of activity the ideology of "money" where material benefits dominate over spiritually - moral values which are pledged in each person since its birth (fig. 1) dominates.

Fig. 1. Current model of life

Such situation leads to the fact that in public consciousness today not the culture determines policy, and the politician - culture. It, in turn, does not allow to use all huge opportunities of language of culture to win human hearts for unity of citizens of the country for the good of dynamic and forward development of the country in general and each citizen separately. For this purpose in the Kyrgyz Republic there are all opportunities as still bigger number of kyrgyzstanets feel the real happiness better heart, but not through money. Tell results of the sociological survey conducted by "Center of Promotion and Development" public organization and the consulting company "M-vektor" in 2013 for measurement of index of happiness about it (1) on regions (fig. 2).

Fig. 2. Happiness index on regions of the Kyrgyz Republic

The specified characteristic of the Kyrgyz Republic is confirmed also by the world rankings of happiness. For example, among 152 countries of the world there is the best result in rating of the World index of happiness (2) was at the Kyrgyz Republic was in 2006 when it took the 19th place. While on the commonly accepted financial and economic indicators the country remained in the category of developing countries.

This internal aura of most of citizens of the country which is often contradicting the existing ideological external environment realizes the positive potential only when the corresponding creative opportunities for this purpose appear. About it witness examples of many outstanding persons of the country in the sphere of culture who glorified in the past the Kyrgyz Republic far beyond its limits. Unfortunately, some of them it was held only on banknotes of various nominals of domestic currency of "som" in remembrance now.

In present time also, in case of the slightest opening opportunities to get on various international creative venues, talent of our modern dancers, singers, actors, directors, artists, designers and other representatives of culture where they with success lift prestige and image of the country very often reveals.

They instantly become fashionable idols for domestic youth which aims to be such as they, and is proud of the compatriots. Such creative victories on the international scene rally the nation and strengthen her confidence that it is possible to change the country for the sake of these and future generations, and also for the sake of all ancestors who glorified our country.

§1.2. Business environment

Since 2004 the state body which is responsible for development of state policy in the sphere of culture had various status: agency, commission, ministry. At the same time in its activities various functions in such spheres as information, tourism and state language joined and/or excluded. Such instability of work of this state body it was still aggravated with the fact that its management almost annually changed. With the receipt each new head changed organizational structure of the ministry of the personal understanding and discretion, without observing the modern principles of creation of system of public administration. The last scheme of management of the Ministry of Culture, information and tourism of the Kyrgyz Republic (further - MKIT) was approved by the order of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic "About questions of the Ministry of Culture, information and tourism of the Kyrgyz Republic" of May 3, 2013 No. 236.

Diagnostics of activities of MKIT which is carried out by "Center of Promotion and Development" public organization showed that today in practice most of representatives of higher bodies estimate work of MKIT as the number of the held events devoted to anniversaries of various state and creative figures, concert maintenance of official visits and acceptances at the national level, but not quality of the pursued state policy. Therefore, now activities of MKIT for 80% are connected with accomplishment of such activities, but not directed to accomplishment of the main functions corresponding to its status and mission.

It led to the fact that in the sphere of culture yet the separate strategic documents, the laws and law-enforcement acts respectively creating priorities, the favorable circle and practical mechanisms for development of its certain sectors, such as museum and library science, the film industry and theater, etc. still are not adopted. For example, favorable conditions for attraction of non-state resources are not created yet. Therefore in the sphere of culture of the republic patronage from business community is not developed yet and poorly grant resources are attracted.

The principles of management by results and program budgeting, allowing:

- confer more powers to state bodies in distribution of the allocated financial resources to development priorities;

- increase the personal responsibility of their heads in achievement of the objects which are accurately set for them;

- carry out objective assessment of their work on availability of measurable criteria.

The principles began to take root only in 2014 and really do not work at practice yet. So, the republican budget of 2015 was accepted as before, without special accounting of the above-named modern methods of public administration.

Many processes at the level of the executive authority are accurately not regulated that creates artificial barriers in the course of adoption of the state decisions in the sphere of culture. For example, till today's time there is double subordination of territorial authorities of culture to local public administrations and local government bodies. Most local government bodies practically do not participate in the solution of questions of development of industry of culture.

As result, at the level of regions, cultural institutions are isolated from managerial and financial state mechanisms today and are out of the single cultural policy ensuring humanitarian safety of the country.

The ambiguity of rules of interaction between state bodies also leads to big costs in management of the sphere of culture which often grow quicker, than the rate of inflation in economy. Therefore work of number of organizations, participation and performances of on-stage performance groups and actors at prestigious international cultural venues, and also the separate planned creative actions of republican scale stops.
