Tickamyer Professor of Sociology _________________________________ Jieli Li Director, International Development Studies _________________________________ Drew McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies 3 Abstract GREZOV, RAVSHAN, M.A., June 2008, International Development Studies DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN (87 pp.) Director of Thesis: Ann R. Tickamyer This study analyzes the macro- and micro-level development programs for poverty alleviation in the Republic of Tajikistan. At the macro-level, this study examines the International Monetary Fund's macroeconomic stabilization programs and the World Bank's structural adjustment programs in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan to highlight the challenges that the International Financial Institutions face in building sound economic development. At the micro-level, it analyzes a case of the UNDP program on microfinance to see if there is a statistically significant correlation between micro-loans and improved livelihoods. This research shows that poor governance and high corruption are widespread at the macro-level and thus policies should take a different approach through building strong capacities of local institutions and politicians. At the micro-level, however, the study concludes that microfinance is a more efficient and effective way to reach and empower the poor.

  • Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan
    Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Monthly Report Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan MONTHLY REPORT APRIL 2012 1 Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Report – April 2012 GENERAL TRENDS NATURAL HAZARDS During April, avalanches, mudflows and floods can be expected. Floods can be triggered by rain on snow and mudflows triggered by locally heavy precipitation or rapid snow melt. WEATHER Average precipitation but above average temperatures are forecasted for April for most of Tajikistan. ENERGY SECURITY Increased flows into the Nurek Cascade have resulted in the lifting of restrictions on electricity. Reports indicate that an agreement has been reached with Uzbekistan on the supply of natural gas, and deliveries restarted on 16 April. FOOD SECURITY Wheat flour prices in Khujand continue to drop while prices in Kurgan-Tube and Dushanbe remain stable, possible reflecting rail delivery delays (Kurgan-Tube) and limited roads access to the north due to heavy snow and avalanches (Dushanbe). Fuel prices have dropped slightly. The Ministry of Agriculture reports damage to crops and livestock due to severe weather in the fall of 2011/winter 2011-2012, as well as a delay in spring planting. MIGRATION AND REMITTANCES Reported migration rates for the first three months of 2012 are significantly above 2011 levels. Reported remittances are 25% above 2011 in March. These increases may indicate a reaction to shocks during the fall 2011 and winter 2011-2012. ECONOMY GDP increased from January to February by 6.9% and totaled 3,334.5 million Tajik Somoni (701 million USD). In January - February 2012, the foreign trade turnover equaled 827.1 million USD, with a negative trade balance of 415.3 million USD.

LOCAL AGRO BIODIVERSITY AND TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE NEED TO BE PRESERVED LOCAL AGRO BIODIVERSITY AND TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE NEED TO BE PRESERVED UDK: 40.3+41+42.3 Dedicated to the 20th Independent of Republic of Tajikistan P-29 Authors: Kurbonali Partoev – senior staff scientist, candidate of agricultural science Makhmadzamon Sulangov – senior staff scientist Kurbonali Melikov - scientific associate, researcher Asomiddin Jumakhmadov – agronomist – researcher. Findings of investigation made by the staff members of the Institute of botany, plant physiology and genetics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Institute of gardening and vegetable growing of the Academy of agricultural sciences of the Republic of Tajikistan and Public Organization “Khamkori Bakhri Tarakkiyet” (“Cooperation for Development”) at cooperation with Ministry of Agriculture Republic of Tajikistan in 2007 – 2010 are collected in this book. Research on discovering and description of valuable local varieties of fruit, grain and feed crops as the main agro biodiversity component in Tajikistan was carried out in the Hissar, Rasht, Zarafshan, Istravshan and Vakhsh valleys of Tajikistan under The Christensen Fund sponsorship. For this purpose, we had to visit more than 50 villages, 30 jamoats and 18 districts of the republic, to meet and interview over 1000 farmers, women, local residents and experts on traditional rural knowledge. The most important are the results that show the preservation degree of valuable local varieties of agricultural crops and agro biodiversity as well as the ways of their preserving in the countryside as a genetic material for selection and a local resource for food security in future.

  • Tajikistan: Poverty in the Context of Climate Change
    NATIONAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2012 Tajikistan: Poverty in the Context of Climate Change DUSHANBE - 2012 N A T I O N A L H U M A N D E V E L O P M E N T R E P O R T 2012 Tajikistan: Poverty in the Context of Climate Change DUSHANBE - 2012 Dear Reader, For several years already, a series of National Human Development Reports have been prepared and published at the initiative and with the support of the UNDP in close cooperation with ministries and agencies of the Republic of Tajikistan, and civil society and international organizations active in the country. Every year the report addresses the most important aspects of the country’s social and economic development in the context of sustainable human development. This latest National Human Development Reports focuses on the theme “Tajikistan: Poverty in the Context of Climate Change”. Climate changes will inevitably affect population welfare and sustainable development. It is therefore necessary to consider climate change as one of the key long-term factors affecting human safety and security. In formulating policies for environment, poverty alleviation and the country’s sustainable socio-economic development, one must take into account climate change and its impact on the economy, environment and population, particularly the most vulnerable social groups. The strategic goal of linking policies for tackling poverty with climate policies is to ensure the secure and sustainable development of Tajikistan, while helping the most vulnerable populations to adapt to climate changes. This informative and timely report makes a positive contribution to stakeholders’ discussion on climate change and its implications for the Tajik state, society and economy.
