In July 2006, the government of Azerbaijan developed its Road Network Development Program (RNDP), 2006–2015. The program aimed to improve the country’s road network, which was about 70% in poor condition, resulting in high transport costs, long delivery times, and traffic accidents. Such a condition constituted an impediment to non-oil sector growth and poverty reduction.
Investments to strengthen regional cooperation and integration (RCI) in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) have helped catalyze economic growth among GMS countries.

The Kyrgyz Republic, because of abundant hydropower resources, was the largest net power exporter in the Central Asian Power System during the 1990s and 2000s. However, load shedding was common during years when the river water levels and discharges were low due to hydrologic fluctuations.

A large part of the road network consequently required reconstruction or rehabilitation.
Dhaka and Chattogram (formerly Chittagong) are the two major metropolitan areas of Bangladesh. The Dhaka–Chattogram corridor is central to the country’s economy as it generates almost 50% of the national gross domestic product and handles about 80% of international maritime trade. The 250-kilometer (km), two-lane National Highway N1 is the only major road that connects Dhaka to Chattogram.
