INTRODUCTION 1.1. Justification of the site 1. Over the years of independence, the management of the Government has made efforts to develop the education sector and training of highly qualified specialists for various industries. 2. The Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the Republic of Tajikistan pays special attention to the technical condition, the availability of educational facilities (institutions) in schools to enhance vocational education and training of learners and students. 3. The proposed Project on Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Project) will have an impact on national workforce with a high proportion of skilled workers employed in Tajikistan's domestic economy. The project is aimed at meeting the needs of the Republic of Tajikistan. Within the framework of the project, unemployed and partially employed young people and the adult population in the Republic will be provided with job opportunities and income in the domestic and international labor markets by providing quality training. 4. The outcome of the Project will be a more effective, efficient, quality-assured, and flexible system for the delivery of technical vocational training. The project includes the achievement of five outputs, namely: (i) modernization of the methodology of the TVET system; (ii) improving the physical conditions of training institutions; (iii) increasing the volume and quality improvement of TVET delivery; (iv) expansion of equal access to TVET; and (v) strengthening the leadership and management of the TVET system. 5. In November 2015, a Grant Agreement was signed between the Republic of Tajikistan and ADB on project financing. 6. A general IEE/ EMP for the overall project was prepared and approved by September 2015. The project has been classified as category B in accordance with ADB's Safeguard policies. 7. As part of this Project, the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the Republic of Tajikistan shall sign a contract "MOLME/SH/CW05-A" with a construction firm to conduct minor renovation works at the Adult Learning Center branch in Farkhor. 8. The Contractor will undertake, in accordance with the contract, professionally and qualitatively, the rehabilitation works of the Adult Learning Center branch in Farkhor within the terms provided for in the Contract to be awarded. 9. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which is part of the IEE, is general and wide- ranging and covers all possible consequences associated with the project. Therefore, the Contractor is required to develop a Site-specific Environmental Management Plan (SSEMP) prior to the commencement

    Asian Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction January 23 rd 2013 , Kobe, Japan Application of space based technologies for Disaster Risk Assessment at the level of communities A. Shomahmadov Head of the Information Management and Analytical Center (IMAC) of the Committee of ES and CD, Tajikistan SSpacepace Based Technologies Application GIS mapping and application of geospatial information systems, which have become widespread and recognized in Tajikistan, allow to use innovative and effective approaches for the analysis of the information about disasters and solve tasks on their prevention and risk reduction. They play an especially important role for decision-making in socio- economic, economic, political and ecological spheres of development, disaster and natural resources management. A lot of agencies and departments are getting more and more concerned with the lack of qualified specialists who can effectively use GIS technologies and geospatial information systems for scientific research and decision-making. 1 SSpacepace Based Technologies Application Recent important achievements of the GIS technologies and remote sensing: 1. Monitoring and Early Warning System was installed in 2004 at the lake Sarez and it conducts the following kinds of measurements: Surface displacements on the body of the Usoi Landslide Dam; Registration of strong movements during earthquakes; Water level of the lake and maximal wave height; The water discharge of the Murghab river; Turbidity of the drain flow from the lake; Meteorological data. Components of the Monitoring System are used for the activation of the warning system and they are integrated into EarlyWarning System. The transmission of all data, warning signals and remote supervision over the system is carried out through the satellite system INMARSAT, or locally, through cables on short distances.
