BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 14. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Turkmenistan are implementing a project on effective management of extraction and use of natural resources, an official within USAID told Trend.
"Extensive USAID projects will help improve the management of the extraction and use of natural resources in Central Asian countries, and in particular in Turkmenistan. For example, within the framework of regional activities and the identification of environmental problems, USAID helps cross-border countries to better use of shared water resources," the organization said.
The work of USAID gives countries the opportunity to apply the principles and tools of integrated water resources management.
Furthermore, USAID's assistance in the management of transboundary water resources helps to promote stability, economic prosperity and healthy ecosystems in Central Asia.
The USAID is the highest federal agency of the US government in the field of assistance abroad.
