A Background Note for the Panel Discussion at the Ministerial Conference

ADB, ADBI and CI seek to facilitate and strengthen collaboration, including cofinancing, and participation in agreed activities in connection with the priority areas of mutual interest, where relevant and feasible.

We develop an index to measure the degree of regional integration in Asia and the Pacific (48 economies in six subregions). The index comprises 26 indicators in six dimensions of regional integration, i.e., trade and investment, money and finance, regional value chains, infrastructure and connectivity, free movement of people, and institutional and social integration.

The Road safety strategy builds upon existing strengths within the region, addresses gaps, utilizes good practice, and mitigates risks. This publication embodies the CAREC countries’ commitment to make road safety a priority.

This study presents a consolidated picture of development projects on the transport and trade facilitation sectors in the CAREC region between 2000 and 2008. It focuses on actions funded by development agencies active in the region, providing an opportunity for all parties to share information and experience about their work in the region, seek more effective ways of coordination, and explore options for further collaboration.

This prospectus includes a proposed work plan for the CAREC Institute for 2008-2010 with an indicative schedule of training courses and modules for government officials, research topics, and outreach activities.
