The Seventh Life in Kyrgyzstan (LiK) conference brought together over 100 participants from all around the world to discuss human development issues in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, and beyond. The three-day conference was organised online from 26-28 October 2021 to share evidence-based results and contribute to an open access research database.

LiK is a multi-topic longitudinal survey of households and individuals. It has so far tracked data from 3,000 households and 8,000 individuals in all seven oblasts of Kyrgyzstan. Amongst various topics of discussions were many valuable findings of benefit to different sectors in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia.

The Conference was organised by UCA’s Institute of Public Policy and Administration (IPPA), the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ), and ISDC - International Security and Development Center in partnership with the American University of Central Asia, Mercy Corps, the World Bank, and United Nations Population Fund. Almost 13 presenters from the University of Central Asia participated in the conference, of which five were UCA alumna and students from the School of Arts and Sciences.
