This Early Warning Systems Stakeholders Mapping Exercise across Central Asia summarizes the findings of an assessment of the current early warning systems (EWS) landscape in Central Asia, a collaborative effort of the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub and the UNDRR Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia contributing to the overall Early Warning for All Initiative.

This exercise identified the key early warning stakeholders, assessed the current context, identified existing gaps and challenges, showcased best practices at regional and local levels, and offered a set of actionable and forward-looking recommendations for strengthening the early warning value chain in Central Asia. Consequently, it aimed at fostering a transformational shift in how early warning is perceived and integrated into broader resilience-building efforts in the countries and the region’s progress towards achieving comprehensive EWS for all.
