This project is being implemented by the Government of Tajikistan in 4 watersheds, including the Surkhob watershed with Government, World Bank and GEF fundings. It is being executed by local NGOs ‘Jamoat Resources Centres’ with the support of UNDP as a Facilitating Organization in this particular watershed. 47 villages in 8 jamoats were covered in the Surkhob watershed corresponding to nearly 6.600 households (38.000 people). The project has been set up in 3 participatory phases: 1. Community awareness activities to explain the objectives of the project and set up community action plans (CAP) in order to capture small grants made available to communities; 2. Preparation of subprojects by farmers organized into “Common Interest Groups” (CIG) according to the community priorities and donor requirements; 3. Implementation of the subproject by the beneficiaries with most stakeholders support. The exact implementation details were made public during participatory rural appraisals to CIG which decided according to certain project rules (available funds per village and per CIG member as per each type of subprojects) to apply for specific grants (up to 50.000$). The project has had duration of 3 years & 3 months (2 years’ initial contract + 1 year’s extension + 3 months’ no-cost extension) The objective of this final evaluation is to reflect on the results of this type of pilot-project, assess whether the adopted approach enabled completion of the planned activities (effective implementation of subprojects by CIG and benefits resulting from these) and resulted in achieving the project initial objectives (improved rural production and land degradation reduction). 3 types of subprojects have been funded to “Common Interest Groups”: 1. “farm productivity improvement”; 2. “land management”; 3. “rural infrastructures” through small scale grants being handed over to ‘Common Interest’ Groups’ (mainly farmers). Key findings: - 4 outcome indicators were defined: 1. “80% of farm productivity investments are successful”: over 78% of subprojects are likely to be sustainable. 2. “50% of households participate in some part of the rural production”: max 49% of project area households are indeed participating although it must be lower because of double counting. 3. “Participants living above the poverty line increase

  • Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Provides Refresher Courses for Certs
    Enhancing readiness of emergency response volunteers in Tajikistan Aga Khan Agency for Habitat provides refresher courses for CERTs Rasht, Tajikistan, 23 April 2020 – The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) Tajikistan, through the financial support of the Government of Switzerland, completed refresher trainings for the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) formed in Rasht valley. The trainings, which were conducted within the Integrated Health and Habitat Improvement (IHHI) project, are designed to enhance the readiness of the CERTs to respond to emergency situations across the Districts of Republican Subordination. The training prepares the volunteers to be the first responders in the event of a disaster. It capitalises on their knowledge of the terrain, language and culture, as captured by trainer Munira Qurbonmamadova, “Our approach is tailored to the cultural dynamics in each area. For example, in Shashvolon, we held a separate training for the women, which was very well received.” Shukrona, a local nurse and committed community volunteer who helped mobilise her fellow women volunteers agrees, “The training offered a safe place to learn freely and to practice. Women constitute a significant number of our communities so it’s important that their specific needs are considered in emergency response.” The trainings were undertaken in seven villages of Rasht, Roghun, Lakhsh, Tojikobod, Fayzobod, Nurobod, and Sangvor districts from 17 to 20 April. A total of 210 participants (equal representation of men and women) successfully concluded the two-day training, acquiring renewed theoretical knowledge and practical experience on first aid, Incident Command System (ICS), and search and rescue. They also enhanced techniques in bleeding prevention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and victim transportation.

Tickamyer Professor of Sociology _________________________________ Jieli Li Director, International Development Studies _________________________________ Drew McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies 3 Abstract GREZOV, RAVSHAN, M.A., June 2008, International Development Studies DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN (87 pp.) Director of Thesis: Ann R. Tickamyer This study analyzes the macro- and micro-level development programs for poverty alleviation in the Republic of Tajikistan. At the macro-level, this study examines the International Monetary Fund's macroeconomic stabilization programs and the World Bank's structural adjustment programs in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan to highlight the challenges that the International Financial Institutions face in building sound economic development. At the micro-level, it analyzes a case of the UNDP program on microfinance to see if there is a statistically significant correlation between micro-loans and improved livelihoods. This research shows that poor governance and high corruption are widespread at the macro-level and thus policies should take a different approach through building strong capacities of local institutions and politicians. At the micro-level, however, the study concludes that microfinance is a more efficient and effective way to reach and empower the poor.

  • Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan
    Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Monthly Report Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan MONTHLY REPORT APRIL 2012 1 Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Report – April 2012 GENERAL TRENDS NATURAL HAZARDS During April, avalanches, mudflows and floods can be expected. Floods can be triggered by rain on snow and mudflows triggered by locally heavy precipitation or rapid snow melt. WEATHER Average precipitation but above average temperatures are forecasted for April for most of Tajikistan. ENERGY SECURITY Increased flows into the Nurek Cascade have resulted in the lifting of restrictions on electricity. Reports indicate that an agreement has been reached with Uzbekistan on the supply of natural gas, and deliveries restarted on 16 April. FOOD SECURITY Wheat flour prices in Khujand continue to drop while prices in Kurgan-Tube and Dushanbe remain stable, possible reflecting rail delivery delays (Kurgan-Tube) and limited roads access to the north due to heavy snow and avalanches (Dushanbe). Fuel prices have dropped slightly. The Ministry of Agriculture reports damage to crops and livestock due to severe weather in the fall of 2011/winter 2011-2012, as well as a delay in spring planting. MIGRATION AND REMITTANCES Reported migration rates for the first three months of 2012 are significantly above 2011 levels. Reported remittances are 25% above 2011 in March. These increases may indicate a reaction to shocks during the fall 2011 and winter 2011-2012. ECONOMY GDP increased from January to February by 6.9% and totaled 3,334.5 million Tajik Somoni (701 million USD). In January - February 2012, the foreign trade turnover equaled 827.1 million USD, with a negative trade balance of 415.3 million USD.
