Title:
Central Asia: saving lives, building capacities

Description:
The work of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Central Asia. From the enormous mountains of Tajikistan and Kirgizstan to the endless steppes and deserts of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, Central Asia is a region of contrasts. But the Central Asia of yesterday is not Central Asia of today, after seven decades of Soviet rule Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are modern societies. Central Asia and its five Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies will continue to require external assistance and the International Federation will be there.
