Developing a consensus and implementing follow-up actions for regional cooperation and integration cannot happen overnight. Because of the many obstacles of history, current politics and institutional weaknesses, and considering the slow progress with similar efforts elsewhere in the world, we must realistically expect that serious progress with regional cooperation and integration will take years, and even decades.
However, our hope is that the evidence presented in the Central Asia Human Development Report, its recommendations and the follow-up actions it envisages will help foster increased regional cooperation and eventual integration in Central Asia, and so contribute to opening up the region as a peaceful, prosperous and stable core of an increasingly integrated continental Eurasian economic space.
We invite you to share your opinions on the report, and your vision of the prospects for integration and human development in the Central Asia. We would also appreciate receiving your comments on the helpfulness of statistical and analytical data presented in the report.
Johannes Linn,
Project Leader and Lead Author of the CA Human Development Report
