Meeting for the first time since the United Nations Special Programme for the Economies of #CentralAsia (#SPECA) was created in 1998, the Heads of State and Government of SPECA participating States adopted the Baku Declaration, which endorses a roadmap for the #digitalization of multimodal #data and document exchange along the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and welcomes plans to establish a dedicated SPECA Multi-Partner Trust Fund. The Summit marked the end of the SPECA Week organized by #Azerbaijan as the 2023 Chair to mark the Programme’s 25th anniversary. The SPECA Week in Baku was a time of reflection on the future of the SPECA region and the role the programme going forward. Looking at the prospects for the SPECA region in the next 25 years, UNECE Executive Secretary Tatiana Molcean underlined its sustained economic dynamism, increasingly educated and expanding workforce, improved infrastructure and varied resource endowments. “With such characteristics, the region can look forward to a more prosperous future, where cooperation will foster sustainable prosperity. These positive trends and opportunities call for even more regional cooperation, underpinned by a strong multilateral platform, practical tools, and strong partnerships. One such tool is the SPECA Multi-Partner Trust Fund under UN management. But beyond the Fund, it will be crucial to make SPECA a connecting platform for a wider set of partners, including the neighbouring countries, the key regional organizations and the international financial institutions,” said Ms. Molcean.  In addition to #trade and #transport connectivity, other key topics of discussion were #energy and #environmental sustainability, and #genderequality as a means of transformation within the SPECA region.
