On April 23 in Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and May 3 in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), the REAP project will hold a National Authorities Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Policy Solutions.

Additionally, the REAP project team will share the insights and outcomes derived from the National Policy Roundtable conducted earlier, focusing on strengthening SCP integration within MSME operations.
