  • Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment
    Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment Almaty, a vibrant metropolis in Kazakhstan, is only kilometers away from lake Issyk-Kul in the Kyrgyz Republic, renowned for its mountains and moderate summers. However, the two destinations are separated by two magnificent mountain ranges. To bypass these mountains, the existing road stretches over ­ kilometers, leading to long travel times. This economic impact assessment analyzes what impact a more direct road between the two destinations would have for tourism and economic development in both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. The report provides economically viable solutions that, within a supportive policy environment, would lead to strong economic development within the region. About Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor The Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC) is the pilot economic corridor under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The motivation for ABEC is that Almaty and Bishkek can achieve far more together than either can achieve alone. The two cities are only ­ kilometers apart with relatively high economic density concentrated in services in the cities and agriculture in their hinterlands. Both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union and the World Trade Organization. CAREC corridors and Belt and Road Initiative routes cross ABEC. The historic Silk Route, mountain ranges, and Lake lssyk-Kul underline the potential for tourism. But trade, especially in agricultural goods and services, between the two countries is below potential, and the region does not yet benefit from being one economic space. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction.

    Ecosystem service assessment of the Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Niels Thevs, Volker Beckmann, Sabir Nurtazin, Ruslan Salmuzauli, Azim Baibaysov, Altyn Akimalieva, Elisabeth A. A. Baranoeski, Thea L. Schäpe, Helena Röttgers, Nikita Tychkov 1. Territorial and geographical location Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Almatinskaya Oblast (province), Bakanas Rayon (county) The Ili Delta is part of the Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site 2. Natural and geographic data Basic geographical data: location between 45° N and 46° N as well as 74° E and 75.5° E. Fig. 1: Map of the Ili-Balkhash Basin (Imentai et al., 2015). Natural areas: The Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site comprises wetlands and meadow vegetation (the modern delta), ancient river terraces that now harbour Saxaul and Tamarx shrub vegetation, and the southern coast line of the western part of Lake Balkhash. Most ecosystem services can be attributed to the wetlands and meadow vegetation. Therefore, this study focusses on the modern delta with its wetlands and meadows. During this study, a land cover map was created through classification of Rapid Eye Satellite images from the year 2014. The land cover classes relevant for this study were: water bodies in the delta, dense reed (total vegetation more than 70%), and open reed and shrub vegetation (vegetation cover of reed 20- 70% and vegetation cover of shrubs and trees more than 70%). The land cover class dense reed was further split into submerged dense reed and non-submerged dense reed by applying a threshold to the short wave infrared channel of a Landsat satellite image from 4 April 2015.

  • COVID-19 Central Asia Infographic Series
    COVID-19 in Central Asia: Infographic Series KAZAKHSTAN Kazakhstan first announced a state of emergency and imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 16 to May 11. As cases started to climb after the lockdown lifted, and new data collection methods pointed to more 78,486 49,488 585 infections in the country than previously counted, the Total Confirmed Recovered Deaths government announced a second nationwide lockdown COVID-19 Cases from July 5 to August 2. Kazakhstan has the highest Source: JHU number of COVID-19 infections relative to population size in Central Asia. Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) Atyrau Tengiz Oil Field Almaty IMPACT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR COVID-19 is the biggest shock to Kazakhstan's economy in two decades, and has had a negative impact on economic growth. The economy is heavily reliant on foreign investment through ongoing oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The Tengiz Oil Field in the Atyrau region has reported upwards of 2,000 cases of COVID-19 among 36 shift camps and 57 companies operating in the field. Chevron-led Tengizchevroil owns the site, and has temporarily paused non-essential work activities in an attempt to slow the spread of cases. Entry restrictions may affect the movement of migrant workers staffing the project site. The capital, Nur-Sultan, and Kazakhstan's financial hub, Almaty, have led the count in confirmed cases of COVID-19. Hospitals in both major cities are reportedly nearing full capacity, and may be unavailable to new patients. In Nur-Sultan, the Presidential Hospital and City Hospital #2 recently resumed some level of surgical and other services, opening up access to acute trauma care.
