STUDY ON EXPLORING #SYNERGIES BETWEEN HEART OF ASIA – #ISTANBUL PROCESS (HOA-IP) AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC COOPERATION CONFERENCE ON AFGHANISTAN (#RECCA):

#TAGHEER is contracted by The Asia #Foundation and #WADAN to explore and understand the synergies between both cooperation initiatives and inform a policy level discussion within senior Government peers by understanding the commonalities and complementarities of the two Processes and to guide the Government approach towards a more robust regional economic and social integration. TAGHEER is carrying out key informant interviews with high-level government officials and facilitating a strategy workshop to undertake this study, which will also inform the decision of senior Government officials mainly of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (#MoFA) if the two Processes need to be merged and can be unified under the umbrella of the RCD.

Please share your thoughts on the commonalities of both initiatives and if you think they should be merged!
