The ASBP-1 was implemented in 1995-2003 under the umbrella of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Seaestablished in 1993.
1. Regional water management strategy. | 2. Improved efficiency of water resources management and ensuring the sustainability of dams and reservoirs. |
3. Hydrometeorological services and the regional environmental information system. | 4. Water quality management, Drainage program in Uzbekistan. |
5. Restoration of wetlands and regulation of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya flows. | 6. Clean water and health. |
7. Water Management in the upper catchment. | 8. Automation of water infrastructure. |
9. Capacity building. |
The total cost of these programs was 60.8 million US dollars, of which only 22.25 million US dollars were
attracted and disbursed with the assistance of the World Bank.
As a second stage of the ASBP-1, a project on water and environmental management was implemented in 1998-2003,
which was funded by the Global Environment Facility, the Governments of the Netherlands and Sweden.
The total project budget amounted to 21.5 million US dollars, including 4.1 million US dollars – due to the
countries of Central Asia.
