About SPECA
The United Nations Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia
(SPECA) addresses the unique needs of its member countries. SPECA was
established in 1998 by the Presidents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Azerbaijan joined in 2002 and Afghanistan in
2005. It is supported jointly by UNECE and UNESCAP. The SPECA Programme has
distinct comparative advantages: it was initiated and established by its
member countries; it is governed by them; it focuses on critical issues of
regional cooperation, taking advantage of international legal instruments,
norms, standards and recommendations of UNECE and UNESCAP; and it combines
technical assistance and capacity-building by the in-house experts of UNECE
and UNESCAP with cross-sector, interministerial policy discussions and
regular policy-business-research dialogue. Since all the major countries of
Central Asia are members either of UNECE or UNESCAP, SPECA provides a
neutral forum for the discussion of complex strategic issues of intra- and
interregional cooperation.Due to these comparative advantages, SPECA has
demonstrated an impressive level of adaptability. In 2004, the United
Nations Secretary-General gave the two regional commissions the task of
reinvigorating and strengthening the Programme. The 2005-2007 SPECA Work
Plan includes 28 projects/activities in the above areas. Currently, 14
projects are assured funding of about $4 million. Three projects with an
outlay of about $1 million have been approved for funding under the fifth
tranche of the United Nations Development Account. The activities of each
Project Working Group are supported by the relevant Divisions of UNECE and
UNESCAP in a coordinated and mutually reinforcing way.
