SEZ Resources

Special economic zones (SEZs) are contributing to sustainable development across the world.

This space features resources for SEZs that are working towards the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It includes research, publications, handbooks and guides to support SEZs in their modernization. SEZs will also be invited to contribute to this space. GASEZ members will write joint publications on timely issues of importance to the SEZ community with the aim to amplify SEZ voices.
