Database of publications / Silk Road Regional Programme (SRRP): Capacity Building for Regional Cooperation and Development

Silk Road Area Development Programme Phase I established a framework for regional cooperation between the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and China, through the setting up of National Coordination Mechanisms (NCMs) and through practical working-level activities. SRRP represents the strategic phase which will further consolidate the framework for long-term economic cooperation through the realisation of concrete results in three inter-related target areas: increased levels of trade and transit in the region, promoting accelerated growth and human development through enhancing capacities and institutions underpinning economic cooperation among member countries within the framework of SCO; facilitate the establishment of a mechanism for facilitating investment in the Silk Road area through the establishment of a Silk Road Investment Forum; assist countries in developing a regional plan for the sustainable development of tourism including the promotion of Silk Road arts and crafts, and commitments to sustainable levels of tourism development through the establishment of an award for “UN Silk Road” City.
