BACKGROUND

Unit and the Debt Recovery Unit.
DEBRA is currently seeking an Advisor, who will be stationed in the

with debtor companies when appropriate

* willingness to undertake the ensuing one year contract is preferred, but
not necessary
THE REGION
The Kyrgyz Republic, or Kyrgystan, is located in Central Asia, west of
China. It is a small country�slightly smaller than South Dakota�and its
capital is Bishkek, which is located near Kyrgystan's northern border.
Bishkek is a safe city filled with museums, theatres and other cultural
sites. It also contains several parks and has a sizable expatriate
community.
Kyrgystan is one of the poorest states of the former Soviet Union and
its economy is largely agricultural. It is, however, the most
successful state in Central Asia in terms of reducing state controls of
the economy and privatizing state industries.
Kirghiz is the official language of Kyrgystan, but Russian is widely
used.
