In 2025, our new partner, the Tashkent-based organisation Centre for Progressive Reforms (CPR) launched an expert research pilot report bringing together trade facilitation specialists from all five Central Asian states and Afghanistan.
The study explores the peacebuilding potential of enhanced trade in border zones.
