It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract The Republic of Tajikistan possesses the largest amount of internally produced surface water in Central Asia; however, poor irrigation management has led to water shortages in agrarian communities. In support of government efforts to reform water management, international development actors have established Water Users’ Associations (WUAs) throughout the country. WUAs are non-governmental groups of irrigation water users responsible for local infrastructure maintenance, conflict resolution, and scheduling water distribution. These groups are expected to increase participation in irrigation management, the equity and efficiency of water supply to agricultural plots and by extension, crop yields and food security. Drawing on interviews with development actors, government representatives, and WUA leaders, and rural households, I show that plans to improve rural wellbeing through WUA creation are undermined by legal frameworks that limit formal participation in associations to one water user – farm managers. Reinforced by the actions and inactions of the government and development actors, this policy is drawn from and advances a fragmented understanding of the irrigation landscape, wherein the cultivation of irrigation dependent household plots is devalued or made invisible.

  • Afghanistan and Central Asia in 2015 an Overview of Actors, Interests, and Relationships

It is guided by the premise that the armed conflict in Afghanistan should be understood as being heavily inter- twined with regional politics. Its purpose is to serve as an overview of the negotiation environ- ment in Afghanistan and Central Asia. It identifies actors, interests, and relationships that are helpful to take into consideration when sequencing and orchestrating a peace process that could de-escalate the war in Afghanistan and help build a more stable and cooperative region. The ma- jority of the report focuses on relevant actors and their network of relationships, and the conclu- sion details three future scenarios and a set of recommendations that could facilitate a coordinat- ed negotiation process. The new Afghan Government of National Unity, led by President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah, includes politicians with a broad range of ideological back- grounds and interests. While Ghani has spoken out in favor of peace negotiations with the Af- ghan insurgency, it is so far unclear if his efforts will be more successful than those of his prede- cessor.
