ALIGNMENT WITH REGIONAL STRATEGY IN CENTRAL ASIA 

 

22. 

The World Bank Group strategy has been consistent with regional strategies and 

programs for Central Asia that support regional connectivity.  The World Bank continues to 

contribute to the sound management of water resources and advancing the regional energy trade 

through the Central Asia Energy-Water Development Program (CAEWDP) and Central Asia 

Regional Economic Cooperation, which aim to improve diagnostic and analytical tools to help the 

countries in the region manage their water and energy resources, promote dialogue among riparian 

countries for improved management of shared river basins, strengthen regional energy trade, and 

stimulate investments, in coordination with other development partners. 

 

23. 

IFC complemented these efforts through its regional Renewable Energy Advisory Project, 

which is designed to help the governments across Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus improve 

the regulatory framework for renewables and support renewable project developers. 

 

24. 

The Government has identified climate resilience as a strategic issue for future economic 

growth, for efficient use of water, land, and energy resources, and for potential regional 

collaboration. It has actively participated in the First and the Second Central Asia Climate Change 

Forum convened by the Bank in 2013 and 2014, and is part of the regional program for climate 

resilience. Through the Central Asia Hydrometeorology Modernization Project, the Bank is 

improving the accuracy and timeliness of delivery of weather, climate, and hydrological services 

in the region.
