The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP) was endorsed at the 5^th CAREC Ministerial Conference on 20 October 2006 by Ministers from the eight CAREC participating countries-Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

This Strategic Framework outlines the main elements of the CAP, including the four pillars of activity as medium-term guidelines for the CAREC Program, a two-tier system for broadening and deepening the Program, and measures for ensuring strategic direction and management.

The CAP is a milestone in the development of the CAREC Program, marking the transition to a results-oriented program with tangible targets and outputs, based on strong country ownership, pragmatic approaches, and mutual accountability. The CAP was developed through a series of intensive consultations with participating countries and provides for broadening the program in new areas while continuing to focus on specific regional initiatives in support of CAREC's priority sectors: transport, trade facilitation, trade policy, and energy.
