| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA will develop a competitiveness diagnostic for the Central Asia subregion, roadmaps for downstream implementation of tailored approaches for diversified growth in select provinces, formulate recommendations and decision support tools to increase private sector participation and strengthen public-private sector dialogue and coordination for diversifying and upgrading the provincial economies. The TA will build on the wide body of analytical work that has been undertaken on diversification and adapt approaches on diversified growth to the Central Asian subregional context. It will enable ADB to deepen its country-focused approach, in line with Strategy 2030. Most planned activities will be initially in two selected provinces in two Central Asian countries and then scaled-up to other participating countries based on the lessons identified. | ||||
