Brief reference:
Since 2012, the CAREC, with the support of development projects of the European Union, the World Bank, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other donors, has been supporting regional cooperation of the network of academic Societies of Central Asia, which unites universities and research centers. This regional mechanism is aimed at overcoming “academic isolation” and integrating the academic and scientific circles of Central Asia into the decision-making process.
CAREC implements the project “Support for the USAID Reginal Water and Vulnerable Environment” in partnership with the USAID WAVE under financial support of the USAID.”
