Assessment of Business Planning in Primary Care Facilities in Tajikistan
2019 Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Abstract This report presents the main findings and recommendations of the assessment of the business planning implementation in primary health care facilities in Tajikistan. Since it was introduced in 2005, business planning in Tajikistan has grown into a nationally adopted mechanism for strengthening district and primary health care facility management. In 2019, an assessment took place to evaluate the results of the business planning implementation. The findings revealed that business planning was regarded as an efective managerial tool that improved the health of and relationships with the populations served. The most important outcome of business planning is the reported improved responsiveness to the health needs of the population, especially more vulnerable groups. Implementation of business planning has increased the transparency of the health facilities’ activities and resources and has strengthened the primary care management capacity. Nevertheless, the health system has challenges afecting the success of business planning that need to be addressed for its further success and sustainability in the country.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Ravshan Grezov June 2008 2 This thesis titled DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MICROFINANCE PROGRAM IN TWO AREAS OF TAJIKISTAN by RAVSHAN GREZOV has been approved for the Center for International Studies by ________________________________ Ann R. 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. -
