This manual sets out how to combine road safety audits with the
International Road Assessment Programme methodology in a star

reduce injuries from traffic accidents.
This report prepared by an Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory
(APRSO) taskforce analyzes how improving crash and accident data
collection can better protect lives on the region's roads. It looks
at the type of data countries should prioritize and explains why
bolstering data quality would help reach targets of halving road
injuries and deaths. APRSO recommends collecting aggregated data to
analyze trends and set strategic priorities. In presenting a sample
questionnaire for countries, it shows that generating robust data
and analysis is key to improving actions and policies on road
safety for the region.
This study of the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on
the aviation industry in Central Asia Regional Cooperation (CAREC)
countries finds opportunities for reform and restructuring to
facilitate fast recovery. COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on
global aviation as nearly all air travel came to a halt in late
March and April 2020. In Central Asia, virtually all domestic and
international air travel were suspended in an attempt to contain
the spread of COVID-19. This crisis provides an opportunity to
reset the aviation industry in CAREC countries through reforms, new
strategies, and restructurings. The study takes into consideration
the gravity of the situation in the region and offers some
recommendations for dealing with and beyond the crisis.
This publication provides an overview of the transport sector in
Tajikistan, along with major development constraints, the
government's strategies and plans, and assistance provided by ADB

connectivity and facilitating movement of goods and people within
the country and along borders shared with its neighbors in the
region. The publication serves as a basis for dialogues on ADB's
future collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan to promote
the transport sector's development effectively in the coming years.
