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.

It gives me great pleasure to present this edition of the Development Partner Profiles 2012 guide. The Government of the Republic of Tajikistan greatly values the activities of all partners working in Tajikistan, and the present guide is evidence of its commitment towards the development of effective and constructive cooperation. The Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness was held in 2011, in Busan, Republic of Korea, under the slogan "Building a new global partnership for effective development cooperation". The Forum considered the key issues related to the goals and modalities of cooperation development, and identified new concepts for development assistance. An important element of coordination is foreign aid transparency. This principle was enshrined in various international documents. The final document adopted at the Forum, ‘The Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation’, reiterated the need for transparency of information on assistance programmes and encouraged member countries to take concrete steps to make information about aid more accessible. In particular, Forum participants assumed obligations to "work on improving availability and accessibility of public information on development cooperation and other resources for development".

Over the course of his career Muhiddin Faizulloev accompanied more than thirty ethnographic and archaeological expeditions and produced many ethnographic field diaries. Even more interesting was that he had worked with and for Sergei Polyakov (Moscow State University) and Valentin Bushkov (Main Archival Department, Moscow), two ethnographers who have published extensively on the Tajik people. Faizulloev’s view of events and scholarly works is refreshing and helps contextualize the sometimes problematic books that Moscow’s ethnographers produced.
