UNESCO in Central Asia at the dawn of the third millennium

Five countries of Central Asia -- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan -- share much in terms of history, culture and socio-political development. Over the years, UNESCO’s cooperation with these Member States has become truly multi-sectoral and multi-dimensional.

Today UNESCO enjoys a high profile in the region and its assistance is greatly valued. This success is largely due to the unfailing support of the Member States, their National Commissions, and a vast network of civil society partners. The present brochure recounts the Organization’s major achievements of recent years in Central Asia.
