JOINT GERMAN/SWISS REGIONAL PROGRAMME “CLIMATE SENSITIVE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN CENTRAL ASIA”: KICK-OFF MEETING
On November 29, 2023, the kick-off meeting of the Regional Programme “Climate Sensitive Water Resources Management in Central Asia”, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), was held in Tashkent.
This Programme was developed as part of the Green Central Asia Initiative in accordance with the Regional Action Plan for a joint political dialogue on climate, environment and security, agreed upon by the Central Asian countries in November 2021. The goal of the Programme is to strengthen the capacity of national and regional organisations responsible for water resources management to implement climate-sensitive integrated water resources management at the regional and river basin level.
The kick-off meeting included presentations and gave room for discussions with national and international partners on the Programme and its components including the indicative Programme Implementation Plan for 2023-2027 and the Programme Action Plan for 2024.
The meeting was attended by authorised representatives appointed from each Central Asian country (representatives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Central Asia, relevant line ministries), as well as representatives of the international partners of the Programme.
Director D.R. Ziganshina took part in the kick-off meeting on behalf of SIC ICWC.
