1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Preamble

1. The Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project supports the expansion of quality training of unskilled youth and adults to prepare them for skilled employment in Tajikistan and abroad through upgrading of the public TVET system. The upgraded system will train and empower individuals to move from unemployment and underemployment into higher-paying jobs, alleviating poverty by strengthening the livelihood opportunities of trainees and their families and increasing their ability to participate in national economic development.

2. The Project addresses a range of challenges faced by the public TVET system that provides most of Tajikistan’s TVET training: outdated curriculum and learning materials; obsolete and inadequate equipment; dilapidated instructional buildings; unmaintained and damaged dormitories; low-paid teachers and masters without updated training; very limited staff development and succession planning; little or no linkage with industry; outdated approaches to school management; weak interagency coordination; and continuing underinvestment generally. A large number of graduates are produced each year, but the training does not impart modern skills and qualifications in demand in the labor market.

3. The outcome of the Project will be a national workforce with an increased proportion of skilled workers employed in Tajikistan. The outcome will be a demand-driven, quality- assured, and flexible TVET system responsive to labor market needs.

4. The Project has four outputs as follows: (i) TVET system methodology modernized; (ii) physical learning facilities in selected TVET institutions upgraded; (iii) access to quality TVET programs improved; and (iv) governance and management of TVET system strengthened.

5. This fourth semi-annual report on environmental monitoring covers the period from July to December 2018 and presents the results of the monitoring of environmental safeguards implementation at construction sites . During this period rehabilitation works have been started on 17 subrojects, 3 of them completed.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES 2.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

6. The Republic of Tajikistan has received Grant 0452/53/Loan 3309 from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for implementing Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Project (the Project). The Project supports the expansion of quality training of unskilled youth and adults to prepare them for skilled employment in Tajikistan and abroad through upgrading of the public TVET system. The upgraded system will train and empower individuals to move from unemployment and underemployment into higher-paying jobs, alleviating poverty by strengthening the livelihood opportunities of trainees and their families and increasing their ability to participate in national economic development.

7. The “Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Tajikistan Project funding consists of an ADB US$15 million loan, US$ 15 million grant, co-financing of $2 million from the Clean Energy Fund under the Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility, and Government of Tajikistan $2 million counterpart funds. The implementing agency is the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment (MOLME).

8. The Project has four outputs as follows: (i) TVET system methodology modernized; (ii) physical learning facilities in selected TVET institutions upgraded; (iii) access to quality TVET programs improved; and (iv) governance and management of TVET system strengthened.

9. The Project is classified as ADB Environmental Category B with the potential environmental impacts confined to activities within Output 2, Upgrade Physical Learning Facilities. This component consists of:

• civil works to rehabilitate existing buildings; and • provision of new equipment to rehabilitated workshops, laboratories and other facilities. 10. The Project will rehabilitate physical facilities at 36 TVET institutions located throughout the country. The importance of the Project will be through its impact on the skills and employability of graduates of the rehabilitated TVET schools. The map showing location of the educational facilities covered by the Project is presented below.

11. This is the third Bi-annual Environmental Report for the TVET Project, covering the period from January to June 2018. The scope of the report is to describe the monitoring of environmental, social and safety issues associated with the implementation of the project.

12. The Figure 1 below shows the location of all TVET sub-projects in the scale of country.
