In 2007, USAID/Central Asia Region (CAR) requested a VEGA Long Term Business Adviser to provide assistance to the American Chamber of Commerce in support of their Public-Private Economic Partnership Initiative (PPEPI).
Implementing organization, IIE chose Sanjay Srikantiah, a graduate of SAIS and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Kazakhstan for the Public-Private Economic Partnership Specialist. PPEPI further improves Kazakhstan’s business environment and increases the country’s competitiveness through facilitating greater public-private dialogue on such issues as tax, anti-corruption, technology exchange, and WTO accession.
