This paper highlights some aspects of Kyrgyz social security system in terms of international donor organizations’ policy. First it was analyzed how various international guidelines on national social security are compatible. Then the selected international recommendations were reviewed in detail for defining its applicability to the national social insurance system and adequacy to social security law. Particularly, there were discussed in detail: (i) ILO’s Social Protection Floors and its applicability and necessity as a prerequisite to the ILO Convention 102 ratification, (ii) where the “Social Protection Floors” stands in a legal hierarchy, and (iii) WB recommendations on state pension insurance adequacy to national social insurance system and how  it would impact to budget sustainability in one hand and to poverty alleviation in another.
