The end of the current quarter, the third of the project’s fourth year, saw this trend continue with LMDA successfully promoting the establishment of a functional agricultural land market based on market principles and gender equality in rights and processes. LMDA carries out activities in 12 districts in Khatlon Region, which has the largest number of people living below the poverty line and a dominant agricultural sector. The project focuses on land policy and private sector development that will increase the number of Tajik private appraisal companies, streamline land registration procedures and increase understanding of the many aspects of a land use market among government officials and farmers. Beginning in April this quarter, the Government of Tajikistan (GOTJ) banned all public meetings and gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LMDA developed and implemented a COVID-19 prevention plan that: 1) activated its work-at-home policy starting March 27, 2020, 2) engaged short- term advisors using remote platforms, 3) postponed all trainings and public events until the situation with COVID-19 has improved and 4) required all employees to comply with additional safety measures. At this challenging time, LMDA pivoted from its usual way of leading activities. To adapt to this new environment, the project shifted from its traditional face-to face activities. To achieve results, LMDA introduced innovative approaches using online platforms and online video communication. The project helped farmers to convert to and leverage digital communication technologies in order to continue raising their awareness of land issues during the crisis. During Y4Q3, the following results were achieved in each task activity: I. IMPROVE LAND POLICY, LEGAL, AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK GOVERNING MARKET TRANSACTIONS • On June 17, 2020, Majlisi Namoyandagon Majlisi Oli, the lower chamber of Parliament, adopted the new Appraisal Law of the Republic of Tajikistan on Valuation Activities and submitted the Law to Majlisi Milli Majlisi Oli, the upper chamber of Parliament, for approval. The approval of the Law by Majlisi Milli Majlisi Oli is expected in September 2020. After approval the law will be submitted to the President of the Republic of Tajikistan (RT) for signature. 2. INTRODUCE MARKET-BASED PRINCIPLES FOR AGRICULTURE LAND USE RIGHTS • In May 2020, LMDA supported the State Investment Committee (SIC) and Association of Independent Appraisers (AIA) in finalizing the draft of the three National Appraisal Standards: 1) the Immovable Property Appraisal Standard, 2) the Standard for Key Appraisal Concepts and Principles and 3) the Standard for Appraisal Report Content and Design Requirements. The project assisted AIA in publishing and disseminating 200 copies of the three National Appraisal Standards to the relevant partners. • In April 2020, the Association of Banks of Tajikistan (ABT), with LMDA support,

  • Terms of Reference Research Consultancy To
    TERMS OF REFERENCE RESEARCH CONSULTANCY TO STUDY GRANT EFFECTIVENESS IN KHATLON, TAJIKISTAN 1. Nature of the consultancy: Research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region of Tajikistan Objective: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Tajikistan, through Department for International Development, the UK Government funding, has been implementing a community stabilization project along the Tajik-Afghan border since 2014. The Tajik-Afghan Integration, Resilience, and Reform Building Programme (TAIRR) is now in its third phase. The project consists from several components, which are aimed at increasing resilience to the interrelated issues of crime and conflict on the Afghan/Tajik border through strengthening Tajik-Afghan border, improving livelihood opportunities and access to information on safe migration and reintegration. It has been implementing this project in 9 districts of Khatlon and 8 districts of GBAO of Tajikistan (Dusti, Jayhun, Panj, Qubodiyon, Shaartuz, Nosiri Khusrav, Farhor, Khamadoni, Sh. Shohin districts). One of the main outputs of the project is to understand, and, ideally enhance, the effectiveness of grants issued by international donors to the population living in the project area. To this end, the IOM intends to undertake research on grant effectiveness in the Khatlon region. Research intends to gather information on grants issued between 2014 and 2019 to any target group living in the Khatlon region. Analysis should focus on any impact related to, for instance (but not only): rural and agricultural development; livelihood strategies and the creation of employment; education and emancipation of men, women, youth, and vulnerable groups; access to food; and, impact on migration. Target: Provision of a full data set on grant effectiveness.

  • Tajikistan and the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe: Global Problems Through the Prism of a Single Country1
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 2008, Baden-Baden 2009, pp. 239-250. Vladimir F. Pryakhin Tajikistan and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe: Global Problems through 1 the Prism of a Single Country By accepting the states of Central Asia into its ranks in 1992, the Organiza- tion for Security and Co-operation in Europe took on significant responsibil- ity for supporting stability and peace in the region as a whole and in each of the Central Asian countries. This was particularly relevant in Tajikistan, a country where civil war had raged for many years following the collapse of the USSR. The OSCE, in conjunction with the United Nations, undertook appropriate efforts to re- establish civil peace in the country, to support refugee return, and to help the fledgling independent Tajik state come into being. With the signing of the General Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and National Accord on 27 June 1997, the country entered a new phase of development in which re- constructing the economy, eradicating poverty, setting up regional co- operation, and building the institutions of a democratic, secular state were of paramount importance. Key Priorities of the OSCE Office in Tajikistan Above all, the country needed assistance to clear up the consequences of the civil war. In 2004, the government of Tajikistan requested the OSCE’s assist- ance in destroying small arms and light weapons (SALW) and conventional ammunition, as well as in improving the country’s stockpile security and management systems. Through the OSCE Office in Tajikistan,2 the OSCE drew up a comprehensive programme for destroying surpluses, upgrading storage conditions, and reducing the risk that dangerous materials could be stolen.

  • Tajikistan Poverty Mapping
    DEVELOPING A POVERTY MAP OF TAJIKISTAN A TECHNICAL NOTE ANGELA BASCHIERI, JANE FALKINGHAM ABSTRACT ‘Poverty maps’, that is graphic representations of spatially disaggregated estimates of welfare, are being increasingly used to geographically target scare resources. The development of detailed poverty maps in many low resource settings is, however, hampered due to data constraints. Data on income or consumption are often unavailable and, where they are, direct survey estimates for small areas are likely to yield unacceptably large standard errors due to limited sample sizes. Census data offer the required level of coverage but do not generally contain the appropriate information. This has led to the development of a range of alternative methods aimed either at combining survey data with unit record data from the Census to produce estimates of income or expenditure for small areas (Elbers et al. (2002)). This technical note describes the development of a Poverty Map of Tajikistan combining information from the 2003 Tajikistan Living Standards Survey (TLSS) with 2000 Census data. In order to visually present the spatially disaggregated estimates of welfare in Tajikistan, this project has also involved the production of a digital map of the country showing the administrative boundaries at the time of the 2000 Census at both the rayon (district) and jamoat (lowest administrative area) level.
