Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 Appeal E-mail: [email protected] Coordinating Office Tajikistan Severe Weather - ASCE81 Appeal Target: US$ 169,540 Balance Requested: US$ 139,540 Geneva, 19 March 2008 Dear Colleagues, Tajikistan is experiencing its harshest winter in three decades with unusually low temperatures. T he cold weather over the last months and the ensuing shortage of electricity ha ve crippled the population, particularly in urban areas which depend on electricity for heating, cooking and water supply. Children and the elderly are among the most vulnerable people being hit by these conditions. As a result of heavy snowfalls, roads between several districts were blocked, which has also reduced local supplies of food and other basic commodities. According to media reports, 303 babies and 12 young women have died as a result of this situation over the last month (Source: Asia Plus). Many antiquated water lines had broken or become clogged. Meanwhile heating and electricity have been restored In Dushanbe, but in the higher altitudes, extreme cold and power outages prevail. There is a risk of flooding and mudslides and outbreak of typhoid as a result of precarious health conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO), together with other agencies, has identified critical food and non-food items are needed to mit igate against immediate, life threatening conditions. These items include wheat flour and vegetable oil in particular, warm clothes for children and the elderly, blankets and sleeping mats, jerry cans for carrying and storing water, flashlights, batteries, candles, matches, generators and fuel, and medicines. ACT member Christian Aid is based in Dushanbe in the ACT Central Asia office. Together with its local partner organizations , Christian Aid is planning relief assistance of food in urban areas, woodstoves and coal to schools and hospitals, information campaigns on the dangers related to using wood/coal burning stoves in homes, and seeds for rural communities whose crops have been destroyed by frost, The implementing partner Agency of Support of Development Process, (ASDP) in cooperation with Youth Group on Protection of Environment (YGPE) and the Centre of Assistance and Progressive Development (CAPD) is planning to provide heating and cooking facilities as well as food to some 660 families in the Northern region. Mehrangez will implement in coordination with Youth Eco-Centerr and Zumrad similar activities in the Southern region. The partners will also pursue their work in Disaster Risk Reduction by instigating media campaigns and capacity building to the local communities. Christian Aid will support its partners with close support in administration and monitoring. ACT is a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities in emergencies worldwide. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland.

IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBERS & PARTNER INFORMATION ACT member: Christian Aid (CA)/ACT Central Asia (ACT CA), Tajikistan Christian Aid (CA)/ACT Central Asia in partnership with DanChurchAid (DCA), Interchurch Organisation for Development Co-operation (ICCO) and Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) has prioritized Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) as one of the key areas of intervention1. ACT CA/Christian Aid has been supporting local partners implementing development programmes in the region since 1997 and disaster preparedness and mitigation programmes sinc e 2004. As part of the regional strategy, ACT CA focuses on the following priorities: Democratisation and widening political space, Access to basic services with a rights based approach, Organisational and institutional development of NGOs, HIV/AIDs, Fair economic development, Secure livelihoods and Disaster risk reduction.

For example , ACT CA through Kyrgyz partner DCCA (Development and Cooperation in Central Asia) implemented an emergency response programme to rehabilitate the community members of Jany- Budalyk” after a major landslide in Kyrgyzstan in 2004-2005. Since 2004, Christian Aid/ACT CA has been funding different partners in the northern part of Kyrgyzstan and in 2006 and 2007 Christian Aid received DIPECHO (DMP funding arm of ECHO) funds, to implement community based DMP/DRR programmes. Since there is a great demand to reduce the risk of disasters in this part of the world, an ACT appeal for DRR was launched in 2007. Recently it has been agreed to pilot ACT Development organisational structure in the region along with other ACT members working in the region. For this, Christian Aid is responsible for leading the ACT Development National Forum in Tajikistan while the responsibility for this is with DCA in Kyrgyztsan. Christian Aid will ensure that the programme adheres to the Sphere Standards in the implementation phase and will also focus on building the capacity of the partner organisation’s staff in this regard.

    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.
