Through its largest component – the School Feeding Programme – WFP supported nearly 410,000 schoolchildren in about 2000 schools in 52 districts across the country. Due to the limited resources since 2012, WFP continued to distribute reduced food entitlements during 2018 to ensure that all children in targeted schools were reached. WFP continued to work with the Government to facilitate a gradual transition of the WFP programme to a nationally owned and managed programme by 2021.

  • The World Bank the STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE of the REPUBLIC of TAJIKISTAN Foreword
    The World Bank THE STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN Foreword This atlas is the culmination of a significant effort to deliver a snapshot of the socio-economic situation in Tajikistan at the time of the 2000 Census. The atlas arose out of a need to gain a better understanding among Government Agencies and NGOs about the spatial distribution of poverty, through its many indicators, and also to provide this information at a lower level of geographical disaggregation than was previously available, that is, the Jamoat. Poverty is multi-dimensional and as such the atlas includes information on a range of different indicators of the well- being of the population, including education, health, economic activity and the environment. A unique feature of the atlas is the inclusion of estimates of material poverty at the Jamoat level. The derivation of these estimates involves combining the detailed information on household expenditures available from the 2003 Tajikistan Living Standards Survey and the national coverage of the 2000 Census using statistical modelling. This is the first time that this complex statistical methodology has been applied in Central Asia and Tajikistan is proud to be at the forefront of such innovation. It is hoped that the atlas will be of use to all those interested in poverty reduction and improving the lives of the Tajik population. Professor Shabozov Mirgand Chairman Tajikistan State Statistical Committee Project Overview The Socio-economic Atlas, including a poverty map for the country, is part of the on-going Poverty Dialogue Program of the World Bank in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan.

  • 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.

  • Tajik Girls' Dilemma: Marriage Or Education?
    Tajik Girls’ Dilemma: Marriage or Education? In Tajikistan, many girls are forbidden to continue their studies after high school graduation. It is believed that Tajik woman’s destiny is to get married, raise children, to take care of her husband and his parents. Therefore, for many girls, a diploma of higher education becomes an obstacle to family life. Subscribe to our Telegram channel! Educated daughters-in-law are especially undervalued in rural Tajikistan. There, it is assumed that educated girls turn out obstinate wives. It has been this way at all times, and many Tajiks still believe it now. 33-years-old Zulfia (not her real name) lives in the Gazantarak village of Devashtich district in northern Sughd region. She is a lawyer by profession and now raises her son alone. Despite the fact that she married for love, her family fell apart because her mother-in-law was reluctant to have an “educated daughter-in-law”. – On the third day after the wedding, the mother-in-law invited me outside. She was holding a long stick. “I don’t care if you are a lawyer or someone else. Starting from today, you will live according to the laws of my house. You will fulfill the norms I have set,” the mother-in-law told me. I did not understand the reasons for her antipathy to me then. Later she said that she wanted to marry off her son with a “homely, uneducated girl”. Tajik Girls’ Dilemma: Marriage or Education? Devashtich district, northern Sughd region of Tajikistan. Photo: CABAR.asia In many districts of the northern Sughd region, as well as throughout Tajikistan, it is customary to marry girls immediately after they reach the age of 18 or 19.
