In Central Asia, a large region that includes Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, several types of natural hazards pose significant threats to people and economies. These include floods, droughts, earthquakes, and landslides. Disaster resilience is a high priority for Central Asian governments, and they are actively developing national strategies to reduce the risks associated with disasters.

This note outlines the “Strengthening Financial Resilience and Accelerating Risk Reduction in Central Asia” Program's work in addressing these challenges. The European Union, the World Bank, and GFDRR jointly initiated the project in 2019. One of this program’s main objectives is to bring together regional scientists and government officials to share knowledge and experiences related to emergency situations and disaster risk reduction.
