The project aims to increase the resilience of the communities located in the Pyanj River Basin to climate vulnerability and climate change. The project consists of four components: (i) more sustainable flood protection systems, including the rehabilitation of a small flood management infrastructure and building the capacity of disaster risk management committees; (ii) more sustainable irrigation systems, including rehabilitation of small irrigation infrastructure and capacity building of water user associations; (iii) more sustainable drinking water supply systems, including rehabilitation of drinking water infrastructure in highly vulnerable communities and building the capacity of water user groups; And (iv) a microfinance component to provide financial services to vulnerable groups, especially women, and promote climate resilience. 3. Funding includes the following project components Component 1. Restoration of infrastructure for flood protection and its climate resistance in 10 jamoats. Component 2. Climatic protection of irrigation systems in 8 jamoats. 4. Monitoring is carried out in accordance with environmental action plans (EMP / MEMP) and ADB's environmental safety policies, as well as environmental legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan. 5. This report describes the results of monitoring the construction work carried out during the last 6 months of 2016. 6. Environmental monitoring consists of the following two parts: (1) monitoring compliance with the environmental management plan (EMP / MEMP or MEMP) to review the conditions necessary for compliance during the construction phase of the project; And (2) monitoring of environmental conditions. The EMP compliance assessment began with a review of the environmental management conditions required for compliance during the construction phase of the project. 7. The Executive Agency (EA) is the Agency for Land Reclamation and Irrigation under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. The EA established the Project Management Center (PMC) to manage, on a daily basis, the coordination, monitoring and organizational arrangements of the project. 1.2.

  • Socio-Political Change in Tajikistan
    Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades des Doktors der Philosophie Dissertation for the Obtainment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Sozialwissenschaften Institut für Politikwissenschaft University of Hamburg Faculty of Social Sciences Institute for Political Science Socio-Political Change in Tajikistan The Development Process, its Challenges Since the Civil War and the Silence Before the New Storm? By Gunda Wiegmann Primary Reviewer: Prof. Rainer Tetzlaff Secondary Reviewer: Prof. Frank Bliss Date of Disputation: 15. July 2009 1 Abstract The aim of my study was to look at governance and the extent of its functions at the local level in a post-conflict state such as Tajikistan, where the state does not have full control over the governance process, particularly regarding the provision of public goods and services. What is the impact on the development process at the local level? My dependent variable was the slowed down and regionally very much varying development process at the local level. My independent variable were the modes of local governance that emerged as an answer to the deficiencies of the state in terms of providing public goods and services at the local level which led to a reduced role of the state (my intervening variable). Central theoretic concepts in my study were governance – the processes, mechanisms and actors involved in decision-making –, local government – the representation of the state at the local level –, local governance – the processes, mechanisms and actors involved in decision- making at the local level and institutions – the formal and informal rules of the game. In the course of my field research which I conducted in Tajikistan in the years 2003/2004 and in 2005 I found that the state does not provide public goods and services to the local population in a sufficient way.

  • A History of Inner Asia
    This page intentionally left blank A HISTORY OF INNER ASIA Geographically and historically Inner Asia is a confusing area which is much in need of interpretation.Svat Soucek’s book offers a short and accessible introduction to the history of the region.The narrative, which begins with the arrival of Islam, proceeds chrono- logically, charting the rise and fall of the changing dynasties, the Russian conquest of Central Asia and the fall of the Soviet Union. Dynastic tables and maps augment and elucidate the text.The con- temporary focus rests on the seven countries which make up the core of present-day Eurasia, that is Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Sinkiang, and Mongolia. Since 1991, there has been renewed interest in these countries which has prompted considerable political, cultural, economic, and religious debate.While a vast and divergent literature has evolved in consequence, no short survey of the region has been attempted. Soucek’s history of Inner Asia promises to fill this gap and to become an indispensable source of information for anyone study- ing or visiting the area. is a bibliographer at Princeton University Library. He has worked as Central Asia bibliographer at Columbia University, New York Public Library, and at the University of Michigan, and has published numerous related articles in The Journal of Turkish Studies, The Encyclopedia of Islam, and The Dictionary of the Middle Ages.

  • TAJIKISTAN the Constitution Protects Religious Freedom
    TAJIKISTAN The constitution protects religious freedom; however, other laws and policies place restrictions on religious freedom and, in practice, the government enforces these restrictions. The Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations (Law on Religion) and governmental decrees regulated religious practices and organizations. The government's level of respect for religious freedom in law and in practice was poor and declined during the reporting period. Most minority religious communities were able to attend places of worship, but only Muslim men were able to attend mosques due to a 2004 Council of Ulemo fatwa (religious ruling) against women attending mosque. The March 2009 Law on Religion expanded the government's power to regulate religious communities and required all registered religious organizations to reregister with the government by January 1, 2010. Most religious groups completed the re-registration process by the deadline, although at least 28 mosques were "temporarily closed" by the government, and some religious minority communities continued to report that local officials obstructed their efforts to register new churches. The government expressed concern about religious practices and groups that it believed represented a foreign ideology or presented a threat to social order. In August 2010, the president ordered the government to return all local students who were studying religion in foreign madrassahs without the approval of the government. The government also maintained bans on religious groups it has classified as "extremist." Restrictions existed on forms of religious expression. The Ministry of Education maintained a dress code that banned the hijab (women's headscarf) in schools and universities. Officials defended the ban, saying it was needed to preserve the secular education system.

  • CONSERVATION of TAJIK MARKHOR (Capra Falconeri Heptneri) and URIAL (Ovis Vignei) in TAJIKISTAN and ADJACENT AFGHANISTAN
    Galemys 22 (nº especial): 407-419, 2010 ISSN: 1137-8700 CONSERVATION OF TAJIK MARKHOR (Capra falconeri heptneri) AND URIAL (Ovis vignei) IN TAJIKISTAN AND ADJACENT AFGHANISTAN STEFAN MICHEL 77 Lenin Street, Khorog, 736000 GBAO, Tajikistan. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT In 2008 the team of the project “Community based conservation and management of mountain ungulates in Tajikistan” started work on assessment of population status and support of conservation activities for Tajik markhor (Capra falconeri heptneri) and urial (Ovis vignei) in southern Tajikistan. The distribution range of markhor is limited to an area of less than 1,500 km² in the districts Darvaz and Shuroabad along the Afghan border. The major part of the population exists in two private conservancies (each > 100) and in the strict state nature reserve Dashtijum. Outside these areas, markhor are almost extinct due to intensive poaching. Adjacent to the conservancy in Darvaz, markhor inhabits the Afghan banks of Pyanj River in small numbers but is affected by poaching. Effective protection of markhor in Tajikistan is provided by private conservancies. Although the Bukhara urial O. v. bochariensis in Soviet times was sufficiently numerous to be used for commercial hunting, nowadays only isolated groups of few dozens are scattered over the mountains of south-western Tajikistan (Surkhkuh, Aktau, Karatau, Hazratishoh). Their habitats are intensively used for livestock grazing and poaching is prevalent. So far neither protected areas nor private conservancies provide for the conservation and without urgent measures local or complete extinction is likely. In the Wakhan in Tajikistan (southern Pamirs) the urial is almost extinct. In 2008 we found only a single male, habituated to livestock, and local hunters reported the lack of observations since 2005.

  • Trade Relations Between Bukhara and Yarkend Khanates in the 16 - Earlier 17 Centuries
    Trade relations between Bukhara and Yarkend Khanates in the 16 - earlier 17 centuries G. Sultonova The 16 – earlier 17 centuries in the history of the Central Asia are notable for active ethno- demographic processes, confrontation between the two major trends of Islam and changes in ancient international trade routes. The factors above account for researchers’ interest in the reviewed period and cause lively discussions. In particular, one of the key and debatable questions is the history of relations between Central Asian states in the 16 – earlier 17 centuries. Two approaches are presently applied in scientific-research literature to examine the issue. Thus, researchers N.Steensgaard, S.Adshead, M.Rossabi, F.Wood, M. Haidar1 take the view that in the period under consideration inter- state relations of the Central Asia were in crisis. Another group of historians – O. Chekhovich, R.Mukminova, G.Nizametdinov, S.Levi, M. Alam, J.Gommans, S.Dale2 refrain from using a definition “crisis” as to the reviewed period and, instead, define it as a stage of significant events in the history of the region. Note the author shares the last point of view.3 Most regress adherents of the Central Asian region tend to associate the phenomenon with the discovery of new sea routes that connected Europe and Asia. Quoting a report of Anthony Jenkinson who visited Bukhara in 1558,4 as well as materials of local historical annals, another group of researchers, among other reasons, referred to the destabilization of political life during the later Middle Ages that led to the weakening of trade-economic relations in the region.
