Nature of the consultancy: Research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region of Tajikistan Objective: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Tajikistan, through Department for International Development, the UK Government funding, has been implementing a community stabilization project along the Tajik-Afghan border since 2014. The Tajik-Afghan Integration, Resilience, and Reform Building Programme (TAIRR) is now in its third phase. The project consists from several components, which are aimed at increasing resilience to the interrelated issues of crime and conflict on the Afghan/Tajik border through strengthening Tajik-Afghan border, improving livelihood opportunities and access to information on safe migration and reintegration. It has been implementing this project in 9 districts of Khatlon and 8 districts of GBAO of Tajikistan (Dusti, Jayhun, Panj, Qubodiyon, Shaartuz, Nosiri Khusrav, Farhor, Khamadoni, Sh. Shohin districts). One of the main outputs of the project is to understand, and, ideally enhance, the effectiveness of grants issued by international donors to the population living in the project area. To this end, the IOM intends to undertake research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region. Research intends to gather information on grants issued between 2014 and 2019 to any target group living in the Khatlon region. Analysis should focus on any impact related to, for instance (but not only): rural and agricultural development; livelihood strategies and the creation of employment; education and emancipation of men, women, youth, and vulnerable groups; access to food; and, impact on migration. Target: Provision of a full data set on grant effectiveness. -

Desk Study: Rural Sector Reform and Legal Aid in Tajikistan
Desk Study: Rural Sector Reform and Legal Aid in Tajikistan June, 2008 KasWag AgriConsulting Worldwide Project 7F-00351.06.14 Executive Summary Agriculture is a key sector of the Tajik economy, accounting for 24% of GDP, 66% of employment, 26% of exports, and 39% of tax revenue (2004). Agricultural land in Tajikistan covers about 4.6 million hectares (ha), with 732,000 ha of irrigated area. Most rural households depend on their household plots for subsistence. Over 70% of horticulture output (about one million tons of fruits and vegetables) is produced on these household plots. The commercial livestock sector has essentially collapsed. Cattle, small stock, and poultry numbers have declined and livestock ownership has shifted to households, which own about 90% of all livestock, and are the dominant suppliers of milk, meat, and other livestock products. Under the Constitution, all land in Tajikistan is owned by the State and citizens receive various forms of use rights. Land reform has ostensibly been continuing for several years although the land reform program has failed to provide equitable and secure land-use rights to farmers due to fundamental flaws in the farm restructuring process and the continued command approach to farm management. Tajikistan’s economy is highly dependent on cotton production. Cotton is grown on 53% of the country’s irrigated farmland, and provides an estimated 60% of total agriculture output value. Key political and financial players are involved in the industry as processors and traders. However, cotton sector performance has been eroding due to pervasive market failures and strong government presence along the entire value chain. -

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. -
