In the framework of the EU funded Programme “Rule of Law in the Kyrgyz Republic – 2nd Phase” (ROLPRO 2) IRZ as one of the implementing consortium partners is responsible for the development and implementation of “AIS Suda”. “AIS Suda” (Automated Information System for Courts [Suda]”) is an electronic court case management and information system that supports the processing of court proceedings and the management of judicial cases at the courts of Kyrgyzstan. In addition to efficient search possibilities to quickly find relevant case information, AIS Suda is also able to directly generate required court statistics and provides for an automatic assignment of court cases to judges. AIS Suda is one of the country’s central IT applications under the national eJustice agenda. Currently the system runs in full mode in in 3 first instance pilot courts, whereas the system’s module for case registration is already operational in all national courts of first instance. Further it is planned to implement “AIS Suda” in full mode at all local courts including also all courts of second instance.

On 11 March 2019 the EU Programme “Rule of Law in the Kyrgyz Republic – 2nd Phase” in cooperation with the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan organised for the first time a presentation of “AIS Suda” for all judges of first instance and all chairpersons of second instance. The presentation was held on the eve of the full-scale implementation of “AIS Suda” at all courts of first instance.

At the event participated the chairperson of the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic, Gulbara Kalieva, judges from all over the country, representatives of the EU, the “Rule of Law” Programme, “Adilet Sot” – the system operator, and the developer company “CBI”.
