ADB approved yesterday a new country partnership strategy for Turkmenistan. The aim is to foster a competitive, diversified, and knowledge-based economy led by an innovative private sector. Under this strategy spanning 2024-2028, our assistance will be concentrated on three core priorities. These include supporting the green transition towards a sustainable and climate-resilient economy, enhancing economic competitiveness through diversification with a focus on private sector and human capital development, and promoting structural reforms and institutional growth. Additionally, we will be actively involved in the development of sustainable and integrated transport networks, particularly railways along significant trade corridors such as the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) corridors. This will play a vital role in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, safety, and integration of both domestic and international supply chains.

In previous posts I mentioned clearance by our board recently of grants totaling $47.5 million for Resilient Agricultural Livelihoods, and for Maternal and Child Health. These were signed this morning with the Minister of Finance. The Minister and I are both smiling in the picture because right now we seem to be signing two grants every two weeks! Coincidentally we plan for another two this year - so they are expecting me back in two weeks 😄 #gender #climateadaptation #GBV #maternalhealth

The report reveals that CAREC countries are actively implementing various trade facilitation measures, emphasizing the necessity of advancing paperless and cross-border trade initiatives. These efforts are essential for making trade more sustainable and climate-smart. Notably, the report discusses the establishment of 25 modules in various CAREC countries aimed at facilitating the exchange of data and electronic documents across all transport modes, including eCMR, eCertificate of Origin, and eTIR.
