The project aims at sustaining and further strengthening the on-going intersectoral processes of the European Union Water Initiative (EUWI) NPDs in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. A robust analytical basis will substantiate policy dialogues through “policy packages” defined at the national level and focused on priorities selected by the national governments. Water quality issues in a transboundary context, including with regards to preventing accidental water pollution, are expected to feature high among the priorities. In Turkmenistan, discussions will be organized to re-launch the NPD process. In Uzbekistan, the option of launching an NPD process will be explored.
