Humanitarian Aid in Favour of the Population of Tajikistan Affected by Floods and Landslides
EUROPEAN COMMISSION HUMANITARIAN AID OFFICE (ECHO) Emergency Humanitarian Aid Decision 23 02 01 Title: Humanitarian aid in favour of the population of Tajikistan affected by floods and landslides Location of operation: TAJIKISTAN Amount of Decision: Euro 350,000 Decision reference number: ECHO/TJK/BUD/2004/02000 Explanatory Memorandum 1 - Rationale, needs and target population. 1.1. - Rationale: On 13 and 14 July, torrential rains accompanied by heavy winds and landslides resulted in flooding in the Varzob district of Tajikistan, causing first of all, substantial damage to infrastructure. The major Dushanbe-Anzob-Istarafshan road was severely affected at several points and key bridges were destroyed or damaged. Although flooding is a normal phenomenon in Tajikistan at this time of year, the water levels this year have been much higher than in previous years. In addition to the damage to infrastructure, the floods have caused severe problems for the water supply to the capital, Dushanbe. The Varzob river which provides up to 60% of the city’s water supply, was highly polluted by landslides. Dushanbe’s water system, which is in terrible condition following years of neglect, is unable to cope. On 14 July, tap water was deemed unfit for human consumption and recommendations were made not to touch the contaminated water. Water supplies were rapidly shut down, with consequently over half of the 600,000 population in the capital having no access to water at all. Despite the warnings there is a serious risk that many people will become infected with disease through collecting and using unsafe water. From 15 July water has been provided by authorities from 44 water trucks. -
Development Programs for Poverty Alleviation: Comparative
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Ravshan Grezov June 2008 2 This thesis titled DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN by RAVSHAN GREZOV has been approved for the Center for International Studies by ________________________________ Ann R. 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. -

Proposal for Tajikistan
AFB/PPRC.24/20 25 February, 2019 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee Twenty-Fourth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 12-13 March, 2019 Agenda Item 9 m) PROPOSAL FOR TAJIKISTAN AFB/PPRC.24/20 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process. -
