In 2012, UNRCCA, together with the CTITF Office, organized consultations with international and regional organizations to initiate the mapping process of counter-terrorism activities in Central Asia and to determine the position of these activities vis-à-vis the Joint Plan of Action. The consultations led to the creation of a Matrix of the activities of regional and international organizations in Central Asia under each of the four pillars of the Joint Plan of Action. It was prepared in 2012 based on information exchanged at the Regional Consultation held in Almaty, Kazakhstan on 21-22 June 2012, as well as with direct input from concerned regional and international organizations. The matrix was subsequently updated in 2015 and 2018.
