Strengthening regional cooperation is one of the most powerful ways to foster development and would enable the states of Central Asia to better meet the daunting individual and collective challenges they face. Resource Development is Key In recent years, key infrastructure and agreements to facilitate the business relationships necessary to promote regional economic cooperation and development in Central Asia have been implemented.
These developments take place at a time when some parts of the region are enjoying economic growth, primarily as a result of their significant activity in resource-based sectors. The emergence of local centers of economic dynamism indicates that natural resource development will play a leading role, along with foreign investment, in building prosperity. Overcoming Obstacles Collectively At the same time, many parts of Central Asia are marked by extreme poverty and underdevelopment and lack the infrastructure to achieve sustainable economic advancement.
Progress will require a considerable commitment from local and international actors to overcome the range of factors that stand in the way of further economic cooperation and which act as a brake on development.
Enhanced coordination between the varieties of actors working in the region will strengthen these commitments.
A Role for International Actors Trade, transport and energy are promising areas for regional cooperation, and international actors can help facilitate the engagement necessary. Development, regional cooperation and stability are at the heart of the strategy, and these interests overlap with several other international actors in the region.
The EU initiative draws on political, economic and social initiatives to address these common concerns.

Other challenges are linked to ineffective implementation resulting from inadequate time and resources allocated to the harmonisation of policies, including developing capacities and new institutions, and changing laws and regulations.
In the absence of proper coordination and monitoring mechanisms it is also difficult to assess how commitments have translated into practice. Furthermore, when enforcement mechanisms are weak or missing, little can be done to counter slow progress or even non-compliance. In this context, incoherent migration policies and interdependent non-migration policies may put the entire existence of regional mobility cooperation in question. In this context, skills mismatches should be highlighted as they often results from incoherent educational and vocational standards in countries of origin and destination.
The intended results legal provisions and actual effects implementation of these different forms of regional cooperation may also vary significantly. It is particularly difficult to assess the effects of cooperation as there are often no mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the actual enforcement. Additionally, migration data collection is associated with a number of interrelated challenges, namely gaps in the availability of data, scarcity of human and material resources, and lack of facilities and equipment to ensure timely, accurate, and comprehensive filing of the data.
To move forward on the path of regional cooperation and to ensure that migration yields positive effects for the migrants themselves as well as their countries of origins and destination, and to avoid unwanted side-effects, there is a need to further harmonise national laws and regulations both within the field of migration — including labour migration, integration, diaspora engagement and border control — and in policy areas outside of but connected to migration, such as education, employment, economic and public security policies.
At the same time, stronger cooperation between regions would be relevant to avoid incoherence between bordering regional blocs, notably in the case of overlapping memberships, and to promote functioning cross-border sub-regions.
There is also a continued need for monitoring and evaluation of existing free movement regimes and other forms of regional cooperation frameworks in view of improving development outcomes of this cooperation.
Although efforts to monitor and report on political and operational commitments have been intensified recently in some regions, there is still a need to ensure better coherence among the involved actors.

Euro-Mediterranean experts and policy actors gathered in Malta and online to discuss migration partnerships and return and reintegration strategies: On 27 and 28 October, representatives of EU Member States and Southern Partner Countries, as well as migration experts, gathered in Valletta Malta and online to reflect on the future of migration partnerships and on the new EU Strategy on Voluntary Return and Reintegration.
