ESCAP Web-Toolkit for Integrated Planning of Infrastructure Corridors (Mongolia)

ESCAP Web-Toolkit for Integrated Planning of Infrastructure Corridors

The Training Workshop Series on "ESCAP Web-Toolkit for Integrated Planning of Infrastructure Corridors " is delivered on 17 May, 13.00 (GMT+7, Bangkok) for Kazakhstan, on 19 May, 13.00 (GMT+7, Bangkok) for Mongolia, and on21 May, 13.00 (GMT+7, Bangkok) for Kyrgyzstan policy makers and invited participants.

The On-line Training Workshop Series is organized to support active use of these products and tools by member States. The two web-based toolkits focus on integrated development of co-infrastructures, comprising ICT, energy, and transport, namely:

• Simulator of the Integrated Infrastructure Corridors, and the Study. This Simulation tool is aimed to determine the most appropriate model for development of new Integrated Infrastructure Corridors. The knowledge product includes in-depth research and methodology on identifying and developing promising infrastructure corridors in the view of co-deployment of the ICT-Energy- Transport infrastructures and multi-stakeholder partnerships. The identified and analyzed three infrastructure corridors are connecting Almaty (Kazakhstan) with Cholpon-Ata (Kyrgyzstan), Semey (Kazakhstan) with Rubtsovsk (Russia), and Urzhar (Kazakhstan) with Chuguchak (China). It also includes the software implementation of the model that allows automated calculation of basic indicators, such as required capital and operating costs for the new construction or reconstruction and maintenance of infrastructure facilities based on input data (See here: https://broadband.shinyapps.io/SmartCorridorsSimulator/ )

• Partnership Portal on Co-deployment is aimed to support ICT infrastructure co-deployment with road transport and energy infrastructure, available at https://co-deployment.online . The web- portal, as the information platform, provides developers and owners of ICT, road and energy infrastructure and other stakeholders with a good opportunity (1) to register new infrastructure facilities and find the other compatible infrastructure development projects (planned or those at early development stage) that can be connected to various types of ICT and other infrastructure co-deployment; (2) make an assessment of technical compatibility and cost-effectiveness of co- deployment of infrastructure facilities; (3) promote partnerships and cooperation on co- deployment of ICT and other infrastructure; (4) Web-based tool in the portal will also host the knowledge base on co-deployment of infrastructure. The work is sponsored by the United Nations Development Account (DA) Project on “Addressing the Transboundary Dimensions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through Regional Cooperation and Integration (RECI) in Asia and the Pacific Countries”, targeting policymakers of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia as main target beneficiaries.

TARGET GROUP
