    UNECE ESCAP United Nations Economic United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Europe Commission for Asia and the Pacific UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR THE ECONOMIES OF CENTRAL ASIA (SPECA) FOURTEENTH SESSION OF THE SPECA GOVERNING COUNCIL (Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, 21 November 2019) ASHGABAT INITIATIVE on Reducing barriers to trade and transport using United Nations legal instruments, norms, standards and recommendations while bolstering connectivity in the SPECA region The countries participating in the United Nations Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA), represented by their delegates at the 2019 SPECA Economic Forum in Ashgabat, discussed and launched this Initiative on reducing barriers to trade and transport using United Nations international legal instruments, norms, standards, and best practice recommendations to strengthen the regional market and cross-border supply chains and to enhance connectivity of the SPECA countries with Europe and Asia, with the objective of attracting new investment, technologies and innovation in the SPECA region. These joint measures will contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth in the region and ultimately will support the efforts of the SPECA countries in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Special attention will be paid to reducing non-tariff barriers to trade, removal of physical and non-physical barriers to transport, and to fostering sustainable transport and trade facilitation. Embarking on a path of inclusive and sustainable development calls for a change in the pattern of economic performance in the region from resource-based towards broad-based and export-oriented growth which can only be achieved through economic diversification and productive investment in new technologies.

  • Stephanie Brown Trafton: Discus Olympic Gold Medal Defending Champion
    Stephanie Brown Trafton: Discus Olympic Gold Medal Defending Champion Stephanie inspires young athletes wherever she goes. Here she visits with Roseville Revolution Track Club members. By Bob Burns For someone accustomed to being an underdog, Stephanie Brown Trafton is finding that she likes the pressure of being the defending Olympic champion. “The pressure makes me better,” she said. “I run better on adrenaline.” This figures to be an adrenaline-fueled summer for Brown Trafton, the Galt resident who shocked the track world at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. She’ll compete in the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials later this month in Eugene, Ore., where she’s expected to finish among the top three and qualify for the London Olympics. “I have always been strong in Olympic years,” Brown Trafton said. “The Olympics motivates me like nothing else.” Four years ago, at the Beijing Olympics, Brown Trafton became the first U.S. woman since 1932 to win a gold medal in the discus. While she won’t be the favorite in London – that mantle goes to Sandra Perkovic of Croatia or reigning world champion Li Yanfeng of China – Brown Trafton won’t be able to surprise anyone this time around. “I feel pretty good about it,” Brown Trafton said. “I usually like being the underdog, but I’ve had to change my story since 2008.” Regarding this year’s prospective Olympic field, Brown Trafton said, “It looks to me like it’s a pretty crowded group at the top. Lots of people can throw during the year in meets that aren’t as important as the Olympics.
