Guide for Tacis experts Working & living in Turkmenistan

As you read this guide you should be preparing to join a Tacis Programme project in Turkmenistan. This should prove to be a valuable and interesting experience and will give you an insight into the workings of a country which is yet unknown to most Europeans. In fact, its remoteness makes it difficult to find reliable and up-to-date information which you need when preparing for life in Turkmenistan. That is why the National Coordinating Unit - Turkmenistan produced this guide. We hope it sets you on the right path.
