Summary of Findings, Methods, and Next Steps Key Findings and Issues Overall, the food security situation was analyzed in 13 livelihood zones for September–December 2012. About 870,277 people in 12 livelihood zones is classified in Phase 3- Crisis. Another 2,381,754 people are classified in Phase 2- Stressed and 2,055,402 in Phase 1- Minimal. In general, the food security status of analyzed zones has relatively improved in the reporting months compared to the previous year thanks to increased remittances received, good rainfall and good cereal production reaching 1.2 million tons, by end 2012, by 12 percent higher than in last season. The availability of water and pasture has also increased in some parts of the country, leading to improvement in livestock productivity and value. Remittances also played a major role in many household’ livelihoods and became the main source of income to meet their daily basic needs. The inflow of remittances in 2012 peaked at more than 3.5 billion USD, surpassing the 2011 record of 3.0 billion USD and accounting for almost half of the country’s GDP. Despite above facts that led to recovery from last year’s prolong and extreme cold and in improvement of overall situation, the food insecure are not able to benefit from it due to low purchasing capacity, fewer harvest and low livestock asset holding. Several shocks, particularly high food fuel prices, lack of drinking and irrigation water in many areas, unavailability or high cost of fertilizers, and animal diseases, have contributed to acute food insecurity (stressed or crisis) for thousands of people. -

Eco Chronicle 23-Final-4.Qxd
Foreword I am delighted to introduce this special edi- tion of the ECO Chronicle on the Republic of Tajikistan. The Republic of Tajikistan, one of key Member States of the ECO, has been fully committed to the principles and objectives of the ECO. In its bid to open up to the outside world and as a manifestation of its urge to revive its historic affinities with the peoples of the region, the ECO was one the first regional organizations that Tajikistan joined at the dawn of its independence along with five other Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan. Under the excellent leadership and com- mendable support of the President of Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan has successfully implemented a series of national initiatives for achieving macroeconomic stability and sustainable socio-economic development. This present issue of ECO Chronicle presents a snapshot of various aspects of the national development of Tajikistan as well as its active role in the activities of the ECO to con- tribute effectively to the regional economic development. As the Chairman of the ECO from April 2018 to November 2019, Tajikistan adhered firmly to promoting regional cooperation among countries of ECO. ECO has come a long way since the 23rd Council of Ministers (COM) Meeting held in 2018 Dushanbe, Takikistan. During Chairmanship of Tajikistan, we have made remarkable progress in our activities and initiatives for fostering regional socio-economic develop- ment. Particularly, I would like to mention the lead role of Tajikistan in finalizing the ECO's comprehensive reform process aimed at increasing the sense of ownership among all Member States and enhancement of efficiency of the organization. -

“Nobody Departed to Iraq and Syria from Here”. How Villages of Tajikistan Counteract Extremism
“Nobody Departed to Iraq and Syria from Here”. How Villages of Tajikistan Counteract Extremism In mid-February, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Sirojiddin Muhriddin, said that the country had begun the work on returning its citizens from Syria and Iraq. In recent years, nearly two thousand people departed for there. However, the situation in the country is uneven: in some districts, a large number of people join the ranks of extremists, and in other districts, there is not a single person who has departed. Subscribe to our Telegram channel! In the city of Isfara in the north of Tajikistan, there are 12 jamoats: Vorukh, Kulkand, Lakkon, Navgilem, Nefteobod, Nurafshon, Surkh, Khonaobod, Chilgazi, Chorkuh, Shahrak and Shurab. Most of the locals are religious people. Last fall, Mansurjon Umarov, the deputy head of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan, reported in Parliament that during the last years, 1 899 Tajik people left for the war in Iraq and Syria. These figures include 111 Isfara residents. According to Sururiddin Ziyovaddinzoda, head of Isfara hukumat, 70% of Isfara residents who joined the IS (terrorist and extremist organization banned in the Republic of Tajikistan – ed.) are residents of the Shahrak village jamoat, and 30% are from Navgilem and Nefteobod. Some believe that the lack of both religious and secular education is the reason for such statistics. According to Nodira Avezova, one of the leaders of Chorkuh jamoat, those who do not know Islam and Sharia become extremists: – They [who left for Iraq and Syria] cannot even read books and namaz; therefore, other people influence Nodira Avezova. -
