Abstract:

This article investigates the impact of foreign aid on Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in Central Asian countries. Through a comprehensive analysis of aid programs and their outcomes, the study assesses the effectiveness of interventions aimed at enhancing MIL in the region. Findings reveal the nuances of foreign aid’s influence on media literacy education, shedding light on both successful strategies and challenges faced in promoting information literacy in Central Asia. Classification of the main foreign donors in the field of MIL is carried out within the research. The effectiveness of foreign aid in the development of the MIL, the role and importance of the MIL sector in the development of countries in the conditions of today’s information society are discussed as examples of the experience of several countries in the Central Asian region, particularly Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. The research contributes to the understanding of how external support can shape media education initiatives, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in the field. Based on the author’s observations and research of various resources, suggestions, and recommendations were given to further improve the effectiveness of foreign aid.
