IPIG publishes the final Resettlement Policy Framework prepared for Proposed Central Asia Road Links Project - Kyrgyz Republic. This document contains the principles and procedures for resettlement, if resettlement will necessary.
Within the framework of Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program, the countries of Central Asia are working together to increase regional transport connectivity by coordinating investments in transport infrastructure and aligning respective policy and regulatory reforms to make the impacts of those investments sustainable. This is to improve the region's competitiveness, reduce poverty and expand trade, both among Central Asian economies, regionally, and globally. CAREC program focuses on investment and other activities along six transport corridors that link north, south, east and west through Central Asia.
Specifically, the Governments of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic approached the World Bank to consider financing for the Osh-Khujand road corridor of which the Osh - Baken - Isfana Road is an integral part.
The proposed Central Asia Road Links program is being prepared as part of a regional program on improvements of priority road links in Central Asia which is expected to have substantial positive impacts on poverty reduction and economic growth, not only because of the high population density along the catchment area of the corridor, but also high poverty rates and related impacts on cohesion and migration.
The proposed Northern Batken link (road km 216 - km 238), the road section between it and the border with Tajikistan (at Kyzyl-Bel/Guliston), and Isfana - Tajik border road section (road km 360 - km 405) are part of the proposed Central Asia Road Links Project.
