    From the Ground up Case Studies in Community Empowerment

    REBUILDING BROKEN LIVES After gaining Independence in 1991, Tajikistan endured economic collapse, civil war, and widespread hunger. To help rural people back on their feet, ADB financed a pilot microcredit-based livelihood project for women and farmers. Implemented through two international NGOs, the Aga Khan Foundation and CARE International, the experiment encountered many challenges, but produced several positive outcomes The women’s group composes a peaceful scene, without a hint of the tumultuous circumstances that spawned it. In a drab building in Vahdat district in western Tajikistan, a dozen women, mostly young, are bent over a long table, their fingers busy with embroidery. Along a wall behind them, older women are stitching a floral- patterned kurpacha, the thick, multipurpose Tajik quilt. Some of the girls are teenagers, who are only dimly aware of the horrors that followed Tajikistan’s unsought independence in 1991. But Zebo Oimatova, 52, a benevolent figure in traditional kurta (robe) and headscarf who is watching over the room like a mother hen, remembers it all—economic ruin, villages torn apart by civil war, the hardscrabble existence and, finally, a chance to rebuild shattered lives. In 2002, Ms. Oimatova, a warm-hearted woman of simple sincerity, was elected chairperson of a women’s federation, a community-based organization created under a pilot Asian Development Bank (ADB)-financed project to provide microcredit for women to start small businesses and farmers to improve crops. Despite being overawed—“I thought I could not manage the job because I am only average and not so well educated,” she confesses—Ms. Oimatova has seen her group grow from a handful to over 2,500 members and, importantly, become self-sufficient.

    The World Bank the STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE of the REPUBLIC of TAJIKISTAN Foreword

    The World Bank THE STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN Foreword This atlas is the culmination of a significant effort to deliver a snapshot of the socio-economic situation in Tajikistan at the time of the 2000 Census. The atlas arose out of a need to gain a better understanding among Government Agencies and NGOs about the spatial distribution of poverty, through its many indicators, and also to provide this information at a lower level of geographical disaggregation than was previously available, that is, the Jamoat. Poverty is multi-dimensional and as such the atlas includes information on a range of different indicators of the well- being of the population, including education, health, economic activity and the environment. A unique feature of the atlas is the inclusion of estimates of material poverty at the Jamoat level. The derivation of these estimates involves combining the detailed information on household expenditures available from the 2003 Tajikistan Living Standards Survey and the national coverage of the 2000 Census using statistical modelling. This is the first time that this complex statistical methodology has been applied in Central Asia and Tajikistan is proud to be at the forefront of such innovation. It is hoped that the atlas will be of use to all those interested in poverty reduction and improving the lives of the Tajik population. Professor Shabozov Mirgand Chairman Tajikistan State Statistical Committee Project Overview The Socio-economic Atlas, including a poverty map for the country, is part of the on-going Poverty Dialogue Program of the World Bank in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan.

    TERMS OF REFERENCE RESEARCH CONSULTANCY TO STUDY GRANT EFFECTIVENESS IN KHATLON, TAJIKISTAN 1. Nature of the consultancy: Research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region of Tajikistan Objective: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Tajikistan, through Department for International Development, the UK Government funding, has been implementing a community stabilization project along the Tajik-Afghan border since 2014. The Tajik-Afghan Integration, Resilience, and Reform Building Programme (TAIRR) is now in its third phase. The project consists from several components, which are aimed at increasing resilience to the interrelated issues of crime and conflict on the Afghan/Tajik border through strengthening Tajik-Afghan border, improving livelihood opportunities and access to information on safe migration and reintegration. It has been implementing this project in 9 districts of Khatlon and 8 districts of GBAO of Tajikistan (Dusti, Jayhun, Panj, Qubodiyon, Shaartuz, Nosiri Khusrav, Farhor, Khamadoni, Sh. Shohin districts). One of the main outputs of the project is to understand, and, ideally enhance, the effectiveness of grants issued by international donors to the population living in the project area. To this end, the IOM intends to undertake research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region. Research intends to gather information on grants issued between 2014 and 2019 to any target group living in the Khatlon region. Analysis should focus on any impact related to, for instance (but not only): rural and agricultural development; livelihood strategies and the creation of employment; education and emancipation of men, women, youth, and vulnerable groups; access to food; and, impact on migration. Target: Provision of a full data set on grant effectiveness.
