The Committee will become an open platform for information exchange about the ongoing activities under the project,” said the Executive Director of the Regional Environmental Center for Central Asia (CAREC), Zafar Makhmudov.
The RSC meetings are scheduled every six months to prepare for the annual missions of the World Bank. Decisions taken at the meetings are recommendations and the basis for streamlining joint efforts to achieve final CAMP4ASB results and indicators at the national and regional levels.
