Information of the Project 1.1 Country The Republic of Tajikistan 1.2 Title of the Project “The Project for Capacity Development in Air Traffic Services” 1.3 Duration of the Project (Planned and Actual) The project was implemented for the period from March 2016 to December 2018 as planned. 1.4 Background (from Record of Discussions(R/D)) Air transport in Tajikistan, which is a land-locked country with 93% of the area being mountainous, plays an important role to support socio-economic activities. Air transport has great importance in international and long-distance domestic transport, having comparative advantage over road and rail transport. With recent economic growth, air traffic demand in Tajikistan has been increasing rapidly. The number of air passengers at Dushanbe International Airport has grown by 1.4 times between 2009 and 2013, reaching to 1.3 million passengers in 2013. Air cargo traffic as well increased rapidly by 1.7 times during the same period, reaching to 2,370 tons at Dushanbe International Airport in 2013. These growth trends are expected to continue toward the future. With recognition that coping with increasing air traffic demand is an urgent need, Tajikistan has been upgrading aviation infrastructure at its major airports with assistance of EBRD, World Bank, the Government of France and the Government of Japan. However, in order to adequately handle further growth of air traffic, human resource development is equally important. Air Traffic Control (ATC) services in Tajikistan needs modernization and capacity development. With a safety oversight on the civil aviation system in Tajikistan in 2008, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) focused on old Soviet era-based rules, guidelines and operational manuals, which do not fully comply with international air navigation requirements. ICAO also found that the implementation of training program for ATC instructors/officers is necessary. In response to ICAO's recommendations, the Ministry of Transport started establishing civil aviation regulations complied with international standards since 2008, and these changes required retraining of air traffic control officers

Possessing abundant underground reserves of petroleum, gas, gold, uranium ore and other underground resources, and occupying a strategically vital geopolitical location, Central Asia has historically been the focus of competing interests by various powers. Central Asia is surrounded by the superpowers of Russia and China, and today is affected by regional instability in the neighboring Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc. Especially in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, worldwide attention has been directed towards the stability and development of the whole South Asian region including this area and Afghanistan, and vested interests have become increasingly complicated. Moreover, against a background of growing energy demand in China, India and other parts of Asia, the stable supply of petroleum and natural gas from Central Asia helps stabilize the international energy market and enhances regional importance from the viewpoint of energy security too. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the republics of Central Asia respectively gained independence, and a number of regional organizations, i.e. the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and Eurasia Economic Community (EAEC), etc. were established under a mélange of economic, diplomatic and military interests in Central Asia and environs. Concerning relations with Japan, the concept of Silk Road Diplomacy was enunciated in 1997.

With a population of 8.1 million and number of potentially sizeable infrastructure, mining, and tourism projects, Tajikistan has the potential to become a notable market for U.S. exporters. th Tajikistan is the world’s 139 economy with expected per-capita GDP of $$1,050 in 2013. Approximately half of Tajikistan’s two million working-age males labor at least part of the year in Russia and other CIS countries, often for less than the local minimum wage and under difficult working conditions. Tajikistan’s economy is still facing major economic issues left from the 1992-1997 Civil War, despite GDP growth of 7.4% in 2013. Tajikistan may face more economic problems if sanctions imposed against Russia cause its economy to contract. Experts forecast 6.2% real GDP growth and 5.4% inflation in 2014.

It remained flat at about 12-13 million to 1990 but increased remarkably after 1990, and the population as of 2008 increased to twice as much as that in 1990 or increased to about 27 million. Dollar-denominated per capita GDP1 increased up to 1990 and then downwarded in 1990s and rebounded in the 2000s. The decrease in per capita GDP in the 1990s is considered to result from a downturn in the economy as well as the rapid increase in population. ―: Population (10,000 persons) ―: Per-Capita GDP (US dollars) 3,000 500 人口（万人） 450 2,500 一人当たりＧＤＰ（米ドル） 400 350 2,000 300 1,500 250 200 1,000 150 100 500 50 ‐ ‐ http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnlList.asp Figure 2.1 Population and Per-Capita GDP in Afghanistan (left axis: population, right axis: Per-Capita GDP) The population in Afghanistan is dispersed.
