Description du projet ou contexte

This assignment falls within the framework of the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy, which aims to strengthen sustainable infrastructure, connectivity, and global cooperation, particularly with partner countries in Africa, Asia, the Balkans, and Latin America.

 

The project “Improving soft connectivity in Central Asia towards a competitive, inclusive and sustainable Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor (TCTC)” is being jointly implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ – Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit) and the French agency for international technical cooperation (Expertise France – EF), with a total EU funding of EUR 12 million. 

 

The development of the TCTC is a strategic and transformative project for trade and economic development in the region. It offers an alternative freight transport route, strengthening economic ties between Europe and Central Asia, while promoting greater integration of the participating countries into regional and international trade networks. As such, this initiative aligns closely with the goals of the EU’s Global Gateway strategy for sustainable global connectivity.

 

The project focuses on enhancing connectivity among five Central Asian partner countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) through six main areas of intervention:

 

o  Output 1 Enhanced government capacity for development of a simplified, harmonised, paperless and gender-responsive environment for customs and trade in line with international transport and logistics Conventions and relevant EU standards.

o  Output 2 Improved mechanisms for sustainable transport connections and for interoperability across the various modes of land and sea transport. 

o  Output 3 Improved government capacity for policy development and implementation relevant for public-private partnerships that incorporate gender principles (PPP).

o  Output 4 Improved government capacity for gender-responsive reforms and liberalisation of the transport market.

o  Output 5 Improved tariffs setting mechanisms along the TCTC.

o  Output 6 Improved capacity of government and transport asset owners for optimisation of transport asset management and related funding mobilisation.

 

While GIZ will implement outputs 1 and 2, EF is responsible of outputs 3 to 6. EF will manage a total budget of 7.4 million euros under its responsibility.
