Connecting the Dots: Evaluation Lessons from ADB's CAREC Program 2011-2021

The CAREC subregion has enormous potential for RCI, given its strategic location as connecting some of the world’s largest economic centers, and the underdeveloped trade and economic links among CAREC member countries. The CAREC Program aims to accelerate growth and poverty reduction by supporting RCI to improve connectivity, economic competitiveness, and the provision of regional public goods.
