The 2022 SIPA Summer School, convened jointly by the OECD and the University of Central Asia (UCA)’s Institute for Public Policy and Administration (IPPA), brought together 25 representatives of ministries, national agencies, and research institutes from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, with responsibilities in national development and planning in the areas of economy and finance, infrastructure, energy, transportation and environment. Participants learned from international experts how to improve strategic infrastructure planning, evaluation and financing using various tools and international best practices. The Summer School participants were engaged in brainstorming, knowledge-sharing discussions and expert-guided group work to identify remaining gaps and good practices to align infrastructure investments with low-emission, resilient development pathways.
