Country-Specific Workshops on Road Asset Management – Azerbaijan and Georgia

The CAREC Institute, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will host country-specific workshops on Road Asset Management (RAM) in Baku, Azerbaijan during 6-9 September 2022, and in Tbilisi, Georgia during 12-15 September 2022, for leading RAM experts, including senior officials and experts with extensive experience in the road sector, road authorities, consultants, and RAM academics.

• To introduce the road related Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and counter measures as well as to produce country specific improvement plan in GHGs reduction;
• To create a core group of competent asset managers within each CAREC country and ultimately across the CAREC region who can support each other in RAM; and
• To enhance member countries capabilities for bridging capacity gaps among member countries on RAM and promote cooperation among experts and policymakers and influencers.
