USAID Regional Water and Vulnerable Environment Activity (WAVE) is a means of strengthening cooperation among five Central Asian countries to help foster economic stability and water security while also protecting the ecosystems in their river basins.
2020–2025
Water, energy and food security are intertwined challenges in Central Asia, transcending the borders of the five countries that share the Syr Darya and Amu Darya river basins.
WAVE links Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in an effort to manage shared water resources using governmental collaboration and scientifically based water modelling.
The program’s goal is to strengthen regional cooperation and develop a shared vision among stakeholders on sustainable water management and environmental protection.
SEI’s role is to employ Robust Decision Support (RDS) to inform goal-setting and socio-economic scenarios. These activities will contribute to a mutual understanding of the complex decisions that must be made to ensure water security and economic stability in the region.
