Foreword I am delighted to introduce this special edi- tion of the ECO Chronicle on the Republic of Tajikistan. The Republic of Tajikistan, one of key Member States of the ECO, has been fully committed to the principles and objectives of the ECO. In its bid to open up to the outside world and as a manifestation of its urge to revive its historic affinities with the peoples of the region, the ECO was one the first regional organizations that Tajikistan joined at the dawn of its independence along with five other Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan. Under the excellent leadership and com- mendable support of the President of Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan has successfully implemented a series of national initiatives for achieving macroeconomic stability and sustainable socio-economic development. This present issue of ECO Chronicle presents a snapshot of various aspects of the national development of Tajikistan as well as its active role in the activities of the ECO to con- tribute effectively to the regional economic development. As the Chairman of the ECO from April 2018 to November 2019, Tajikistan adhered firmly to promoting regional cooperation among countries of ECO. ECO has come a long way since the 23rd Council of Ministers (COM) Meeting held in 2018 Dushanbe, Takikistan. During Chairmanship of Tajikistan, we have made remarkable progress in our activities and initiatives for fostering regional socio-economic develop- ment. Particularly, I would like to mention the lead role of Tajikistan in finalizing the ECO's comprehensive reform process aimed at increasing the sense of ownership among all Member States and enhancement of efficiency of the organization. I would like to express my gratitude to the Government and people of Tajikistan for their enduring support to the ECO in pursuit of the com- mon agenda of the regional development as well as the cherished goals that are envisaged in the Treaty of Izmir and ECO vision 2025. I shall particularly count on the continued assistance and kind guidance of the Permanent Representative of Tajikistan at ECO, H.E. Ambassador Nizomiddin Zohidi in achieving the organization's objectives under his Chairmanship of the Council of Permanent Representatives.

    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.

A study on the causes of radicalism among young people to be circulated amongst local government and NGOs to facilitate a better understanding of the issues. 3. The final conference, which will showcase the results of the research and identify the causes of youth radicalism in order to formulate an effective overall strategy to counter it. 4. Implementation of youth-led projects in five regions of Tajikistan with the aim of involving young people in social life.
