The objective of the project was to contribute to the development of efficient and
coordinated national policies with regard to water-quality aspects of integrated water
resources management in Central Asia.
As a result of the UNDA project, the five countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, sharing water resources in Central Asia have for the first
time defined a platform for cooperation on water quality management. A Regional
Working Group on water quality management with officially nominated representatives
of these countries has met six times in 2009-2012 and has developed a Diagnostic Study
and a plan for future cooperation «Development of the regional cooperation to ensure
water quality in Central Asia» and «Guidelines for water quality monitoring in Central
Asia» that have been approved by institutions in all five countries of Central Asia.
