  • Asia-Europe Connectivity Vision 2025
    Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025 Challenges and Opportunities The Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM) enters into its third decade with commitments for a renewed and deepened engagement between Asia and Europe. After 20 years, and with tremendous global and regional changes behind it, there is a consensus that ASEM must bring out a new road map of Asia–Europe connectivity and cooperation. It is commonly understood that improved connectivity and increased cooperation between Europe and Asia require plans that are both sustainable and that can be upscaled. Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025: Challenges and Opportunities, a joint work of ERIA and the Government of Mongolia for the 11th ASEM Summit 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, provides the ideas for an ASEM connectivity road map for the next decade which can give ASEM a unity of purpose comparable to, if not more advanced than, the integration and cooperation efforts in other regional groups. ASEM has the platform to create a connectivity blueprint for Asia and Europe. This ASEM Connectivity Vision Document provides the template for this blueprint. About ERIA The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) was established at the Third East Asia Summit (EAS) in Singapore on 21 November 2007. It is an international organisation providing research and policy support to the East Asia region, and the ASEAN and EAS summit process. The 16 member countries of EAS—Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, and New Zealand—are members of ERIA. Anita Prakash is the Director General of Policy Department at ERIA.

  • Detailed Social and Gender Assessment
    Horticulture Value Chain Infrastructure Project (RRP UZB 51041) Supplementary Document 17: Detailed Social and Gender Assessment SOCIAL AND GENDER ASSESSMENT A. Introduction 1. The importance of agriculture to the economy of Uzbekistan has significantly declined since 2000; in 2016, agriculture contributed 18.1% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP),1 down from 34.4% in 2000. However, agriculture is the second largest employer after services, providing a third of national employment. Uzbekistan also continues to be the major supplier of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables to the neighboring countries, especially Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and 80 other countries around the world. Agriculture production also provides vital livelihood opportunities to majority of rural households. 2. The proposed project will finance the establishment of agro-logistics centers (ALCs), initially for horticulture, in two locations—Andijan and Samarkand—taking into account international best practices. Such infrastructure will provide all necessary facilities and services under one roof: storage, auction, food safety certification, customs clearance, quarantine, transport, shipping, expert market advice, trade finance and commercial banking etc. The project will help increase production of agricultural products with higher value-added and thus will directly and indirectly benefit significant number of people dealing with production, marketing, processing, storage and export of the agricultural produce. 3. The ALCs will help expand horticulture
