Both the number and the magnitude of reported projects has grown from 2005 • More assistance provided to Central Asia • Better coverage of reporting organizations • A more user friendly questionnaire inspired better coverage in replies • Good classification of support activities also improved response quality

  10. Main conclusions to be made • 2. No serious overlap or duplication of donor activities could be observed in the Central Asian sub-region • On the contrary – there seems to be numerous projects where different donors work in good cooperation • Statistical Master Plans in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan will in the coming years even encourage this cooperation

  11. Main conclusions to be made • 3. Some improvements in the Survey implementation could still be made • The questioning on multi-donor and multi-implementation projects could still be improved • Totally different reporting structures in different donor organizations presuppose response-seeking from different levels of donor organizations
