Progress in establishing the national transparency systems in Central Asia: challenges and opportunities

Over the recent years, the support on transparency has increased for the countries of Central Asia. Capacity building initiatives from GEF via FAO national CBIT projects, ICAT/CAREC ReCATH regional project and global CBIT-GSP initiative for transparency support countries in developing their capacities to build and manage a robust, transparent framework that allow them to effectively implement the Paris Agreement and facilitates the transition of countries to the new reporting requirements under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).   The countries of Central Asia evolved to the stage when the national, global and regional projects on capacity building for transparency entered an implementation phase, bringing lessons learned and achievements, which look forward to future activities. This event shares the experience gained by countries in various areas of reporting as well as their knowledge and skills and challenges they are facing in transitioning towards the ETF.
