Turkmenistan

Since the Central Asian Republics gained independence in the early 1990s, their people have experienced declining incomes, deteriorating public services, and a growing loss of confidence in civil institutions. In Turkmenistan, Winrock’s work has focused on improved natural resource management, avian influenza prevention, and helping farmers link with new markets and produce better crops. Winrock has also fielded several volunteers in the Central Asian Republics to provide technical assistance to farmers and agribusinesses in agriculture, food processing, marketing, and distribution.
