THNA is being implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population (MOHSPP) of the Republic of Tajikistan. THNA’s goal is to improve the health status and nutrition of women and children who live in 12 southwestern districts of Khatlon Region, known as FTF’s zone of influence (ZOI). This progress report is largely consistent with the structure and content of THNA’s approved Y3 workplan (Figure 1). Figure 1. THNA results framework Due to its high rates of childhood stunting, Tajikistan was one of 19 focus countries of the U.S. government’s FTF initiative. The 2012 Demographic and Health Survey revealed that 24.6% of children under five in the ZOI were stunted. FTF activities, which have been continuously implemented in the ZOI, including by THNA, contributed to a decrease in the rate of stunting in children under five in the ZOI to 17.6%, according to 2017 Demographic and Health Survey results. Inspired by this achievement, THNA will continue its efforts to improve the nutritional and health status of children and their mothers in the next two years by integrating quality interventions at the community, primary healthcare center (PHC), hospital, regional, and national levels. Project highlights from Y3 include the following: THNA improved nutrition-related professional knowledge and skills of a total of 2,893 health care workers (HCWs) and community volunteers (116% of the annual target). THNA Annual Progress Report: October 2017–September 2018 5 THNA improved the capacity of a total of 599 HCWs on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and nutrition topics. THNA has improved effective perinatal care (EPC) and emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) in 12 central district hospitals (CDHs) by more than 30% since 2016, as demonstrated by facility scorecards. Implementation of hospital-based integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) efforts reduced the number of unnecessary hospitalizations by 23% and the number of hospital pediatric deaths by 39%. Government HCWs and community volunteers supported by THNA provided improved services to 52,162 pregnant women (104.3% of the annual target) and 138,911 children under five (99.2% of the annual target). THNA selected and trained a total of 1,391 volunteer community health promoters (CHPs, 150% of the annual target) from the 12 districts over 64 five-day training sessions. CHPs conducted 80,079 individual home visits, providing counseling and education on maternal and child health and nutrition topics, which benefited over 53,000 children under five and 8,846 pregnant women. THNA facilitated the identification of 2,650 children with signs of malnutrition by HCWs, and 808 children by CHPs. CHPs facilitated 199 peer support groups in 158 villages for mothers-in-law,

    Asian Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction January 23 rd 2013 , Kobe, Japan Application of space based technologies for Disaster Risk Assessment at the level of communities A. Shomahmadov Head of the Information Management and Analytical Center (IMAC) of the Committee of ES and CD, Tajikistan SSpacepace Based Technologies Application GIS mapping and application of geospatial information systems, which have become widespread and recognized in Tajikistan, allow to use innovative and effective approaches for the analysis of the information about disasters and solve tasks on their prevention and risk reduction. They play an especially important role for decision-making in socio- economic, economic, political and ecological spheres of development, disaster and natural resources management. A lot of agencies and departments are getting more and more concerned with the lack of qualified specialists who can effectively use GIS technologies and geospatial information systems for scientific research and decision-making. 1 SSpacepace Based Technologies Application Recent important achievements of the GIS technologies and remote sensing: 1. Monitoring and Early Warning System was installed in 2004 at the lake Sarez and it conducts the following kinds of measurements: Surface displacements on the body of the Usoi Landslide Dam; Registration of strong movements during earthquakes; Water level of the lake and maximal wave height; The water discharge of the Murghab river; Turbidity of the drain flow from the lake; Meteorological data. Components of the Monitoring System are used for the activation of the warning system and they are integrated into EarlyWarning System. The transmission of all data, warning signals and remote supervision over the system is carried out through the satellite system INMARSAT, or locally, through cables on short distances.

  • Tajikistan 2016 Human Rights Report
    TAJIKISTAN 2016 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tajikistan is an authoritarian state dominated politically by President Emomali Rahmon and his supporters. The constitution provides for a multiparty political system, but the government has historically obstructed political pluralism and continued to do so during the year. A constitutional amendment approved in a national referendum on May 22 outlawed non-secular political parties and removed any limitation on President Rahmon’s terms in office as the “Leader of the Nation,” allowing him to further solidify his rule. Civilian authorities only partially maintained effective control over security forces. Officials in the security services and elsewhere in the government acted with impunity. The most significant human rights problems included citizens’ inability to change their government through free and fair elections; torture and abuse of detainees and other persons by security forces; repression, increased harassment, and incarceration of civil society and political activists; and restrictions on freedoms of expression, media, and the free flow of information, including through the repeated blockage of several independent news and social networking websites. Other human rights problems included torture in the military; arbitrary arrest; denial of the right to a fair trial; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; prohibition of international monitors’ access to prisons; poor religious freedom conditions; violence and discrimination against women; limitations on worker rights; and trafficking in persons, including sex and labor trafficking. There were very few prosecutions of government officials for human rights abuses. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings While the law prohibits extrajudicial killings by government security forces, there were several reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.

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.

  • International Alert's Tajikistan Case Study, Climate Change, Complexity and Resilient Communities
    CLIMATE CHANGE, COMPLEXITY AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES Case study: Tajikistan Shreya Mitra and Janani Vivekananda, September 2013 CONTEXT Central Asia faces the double burden of fragility and climate change. Uneven distribution of resources across the various Central Asian countries poses significant risks to stability, with climate change adding an additional layer of insecurity. The collapse of the Soviet Union left some Central Asian countries with an abundance of water resources but limited fossil fuel energy and others with less water but more fossil fuel reserves. Transboundary sharing of water and energy resources has caused escalating tensions between the various neighbours in the region. Climate change will act as a threat multiplier by negatively impacting on the availability of these natural resources, with rising temperatures and frequent and more intensified drought already decreasing the water reserves available to upstream countries. Hydropower resources are concentrated in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, the upstream countries of Central Asia’s Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. These countries however, have a negligible share of fossil fuels. Water is therefore the cheapest source of electricity for them. Downstream countries Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, on the other hand, are dependent upon water flows, especially for irrigation from the upstream countries, but are better endowed with fossil fuels and are suppliers of gas and coal to their upstream neighbours. Hydropower is especially important for the upstream countries during winter months, when heating needs are highest. As flows during winter are limited, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan store water in large reservoirs during the summertime, when water flows are more abundant. The summer months however, are precisely the months when the irrigation needs of the downstream countries are most acute.

Potential sites are classified into two types, sites using natural rivers (Yokunch and Baljuvon) and artificial canals (Nurbakhsh, Surhak-1, Sathad, Shibanai, Pakhtakor, Faizobod and Bohtar). Hydrological data are essential factor for power generation plan such as maximum power discharge, annual power generation, plant capacity factor and so on. Therefore it is important to ensure the reliability of the data by using various documents. Meanwhile, it is difficult to collect reliable hydrological data in Tajikistan due to lack of observation stations, aging facilities and inadequacy of operation record of intake weirs. As discharge data of artificial canals is particularly unavailable, discharge is estimated by means of site surveys, relevant data and interviews at the 1st screening stage. (1) Natural River River observation stations at Khatlon province are as shown in Table 3.1-1. Since hydrological data is not observed at Yokunch and Baljuvon rivers, the discharge data at these sites is estimated by hydrological data of Yaksu river and Kizilsu river Fig. 3.1-1 River Observation Stations at Khatlon Province Data Collection Survey on the Installment 3 - 1 of Small Hydropower Stations for the Communities of Khatlon Oblast, Tajikistan Chapter 3 Power Development Plan (1st Screening) Final Report Table 3.1-1 Hydrological Gauging Stations at Khatlon Province Station Observation Period (Data Availability) Period of Data Station Name River No.

Funding requirements (CHF): 208,587.10 N° of people being assisted: 1,785 people in 357 households have been reached with household items (74 households - 370 people included to also received CVA); 11,184 people reached by hygiene promotion activities Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners currently actively involved in the operation: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), German Red Cross (GRC) and International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) Other partner organizations actively involved in the operation: Local and National Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, Rapid Emergency Assessment and Coordination Team (REACT) partners Summary of major revisions made to emergency plan of action: Through this update, the timeframe of the DREF operation is extended by one month (from 31 August 2021 to 30 September 2021). The main reason for this no-cost extension is that the implementation of the CVA activities were delayed due to the workload of the NS Finance, DM and Logistics Departments’ staff in other on-going operations (Border conflict with Tajikistan, COVID-19 response, Afghan border situation assessment) and the deterioration of COVID-19 context in- country. CVA assistance has been only distributed from 10 August affecting the implementation of some other activities including the BSS, PDM and Lessons learned workshop that can now only take place end of August – beginning of September.
