ADB Review

A group of soccer-playing youths in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, pose playfully. Just as teamwork helps on the field, so would the new republics of Central Asia benefit from closer cooperation. A forthcoming UNDP report shows the gains would include a big rise in incomes.

[ October 2005 ]


This issue was prepared in cooperation with ADB’s development partners in Central Asia, including governments, nongovernment organizations, United Nations Development Programme, and World Bank. It was written and photographed by
Ian Gill, Principal External Relations Specialist.
