The continued effects of the global financial and economic crisis, as well as high dependence on imported fuel and cereal, leave Tajikistan in the most vulnerable position among Europe and Central Asia. Despite an improved fiscal position in 2011, the Tajikistan government’s capacity to respond to adverse events remains limited. Some structural reforms have been undertaken in the agriculture, energy, transport and private and financial sectors, but these reforms need to be accelerated. Tajikistan is also rated as the most vulnerable to climate change impacts of the 28 countries in

  • 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.

    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.

  • International Alert's Tajikistan Case Study, Climate Change, Complexity and Resilient Communities
    CLIMATE CHANGE, COMPLEXITY AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES Case study: Tajikistan Shreya Mitra and Janani Vivekananda, September 2013 CONTEXT Central Asia faces the double burden of fragility and climate change. Uneven distribution of resources across the various Central Asian countries poses significant risks to stability, with climate change adding an additional layer of insecurity. The collapse of the Soviet Union left some Central Asian countries with an abundance of water resources but limited fossil fuel energy and others with less water but more fossil fuel reserves. Transboundary sharing of water and energy resources has caused escalating tensions between the various neighbours in the region. Climate change will act as a threat multiplier by negatively impacting on the availability of these natural resources, with rising temperatures and frequent and more intensified drought already decreasing the water reserves available to upstream countries. Hydropower resources are concentrated in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, the upstream countries of Central Asia’s Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. These countries however, have a negligible share of fossil fuels. Water is therefore the cheapest source of electricity for them. Downstream countries Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, on the other hand, are dependent upon water flows, especially for irrigation from the upstream countries, but are better endowed with fossil fuels and are suppliers of gas and coal to their upstream neighbours. Hydropower is especially important for the upstream countries during winter months, when heating needs are highest. As flows during winter are limited, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan store water in large reservoirs during the summertime, when water flows are more abundant. The summer months however, are precisely the months when the irrigation needs of the downstream countries are most acute.
