  • 2.4 Tajikistan Railway Assessment
    2.4 Tajikistan Railway Assessment Railway Companies and Consortia Capacity Table Key Route Information Key Stations/Dry Ports Railway Procedures Tajikistan depends on rail transport for the movement of most commodities into the country and for exports, mainly cotton – fibers and aluminium. According to official reports of Rail authorities there were 79594 freight rail cars entering and exiting Tajikistan in 2017. In 2017, 4.7 million mt were transported into or out of the country by rail a drop of 0.8 million mt from the previous year. International passenger traffic totalled 530,600 which is a decline of 78,500 passengers compared to 2016. All cargo and passenger traffic along Uzbekistan section of railroad have stood idle since November 2011. During official visits of the Uzbekistan president to Tajikistan, all the boarders were opened. Uzbekistan has reportedly completed repair works on a long-idle railroad linking it to southern Tajikistan and start resuming train traffic from March 2018. From January to April 2018, there was a total of 1.6 million mt imported and 1.2 million mt exported through railway stations. There is little or no domestic movement of goods by rail within the country. There is also little or no use of the railway network for passenger movements within the country. The only passenger trains depart Khujand or Dushanbe twice weekly for Moscow. The rail network was built during the Soviet era and connected all the Soviet Republics. Tajikistan is integrated to this system and can move/receive any cargo to/from any of these. There is passenger rail traffic moving mostly to Russia three times a week.

  • 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.

    Summary of Findings, Methods, and Next Steps Key Findings and Issues Overall, the food security situation was analyzed in 13 livelihood zones for September–December 2012. About 870,277 people in 12 livelihood zones is classified in Phase 3- Crisis. Another 2,381,754 people are classified in Phase 2- Stressed and 2,055,402 in Phase 1- Minimal. In general, the food security status of analyzed zones has relatively improved in the reporting months compared to the previous year thanks to increased remittances received, good rainfall and good cereal production reaching 1.2 million tons, by end 2012, by 12 percent higher than in last season. The availability of water and pasture has also increased in some parts of the country, leading to improvement in livestock productivity and value. Remittances also played a major role in many household’ livelihoods and became the main source of income to meet their daily basic needs. The inflow of remittances in 2012 peaked at more than 3.5 billion USD, surpassing the 2011 record of 3.0 billion USD and accounting for almost half of the country’s GDP. Despite above facts that led to recovery from last year’s prolong and extreme cold and in improvement of overall situation, the food insecure are not able to benefit from it due to low purchasing capacity, fewer harvest and low livestock asset holding. Several shocks, particularly high food fuel prices, lack of drinking and irrigation water in many areas, unavailability or high cost of fertilizers, and animal diseases, have contributed to acute food insecurity (stressed or crisis) for thousands of people.

  • How Did the Media and Social Media Cover the Conflict on the Kyrgyz-Tajik Border?
    How Did the Media and Social Media Cover the Conflict on the Kyrgyz-Tajik Border? The coverage of the conflict on Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border sorely lacked peacemaking journalism approaches, the experts say. Follow us on LinkedIn During the past two years, several major conflicts occurred on the territory of the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The last serious conflict was the clash near the Golovnoy water distribution point on April 28, 2021, when the citizens of two countries hurled stones at each other. The next day, the military of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan started exchanging gunfire. The sides announced ceasefire and troops withdrawal only on the evening of May 1. In the clashes, 189 Kyrgyzstan citizens were injured, 36 were killed, including a 4-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. In Tajikistan, according to the press service of the hukumat of Sughd region, 19 citizens were killed, and 87 were injured. During the conflict on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border, there were a lot of disinformation, fakes and unbalanced news reports in the media of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. According to the experts, this is also due to the fact that in the first days of the conflict, there was little official information. There was a lack of press releases, as well as speeches from representatives of government agencies of both states. Were there many fakes? According to the Factchek.kg journalist Asel Sooronbaeva, there were many fakes, especially on social media.
