The CAREC Institute (CI) 2018-2022 strategy provides a framework for supporting the CAREC member countries through knowledge generation, knowledge services, and knowledge management. The document builds upon the foundation established by the CI in previous years and aligns objectives with CAREC 2030 priorities. During 2018-2022, the CI will focus on two main strategic goals - institutional strengthening and operational excellence - and invite the member countries, partners, and other stakeholders to adopt these shared priorities. The CI will drive progress through seven strategic objectives which highlight meaningful ways that CI can focus on its workforce, achieve financial sustainability, advance research mechanisms, strengthen knowledge management, up-scale knowledge services, and promote partnerships and networking with other entities.

This Compendium of Best Practices in Road Asset Management was developed as part of the support of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program toward the establishment of competitive transport corridors; the facilitation of movement of people and goods; and the provision of sustainable, safe, and user-friendly transport and trade networks. This compendium was prepared in the context of CAREC’s Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020, and is aimed at improving the management and maintenance of CAREC road corridors through the sharing of good practices that exist within CAREC countries.
