  • DOWNLOAD 1 IPC Tajikistan Acutefi Situation
    FOOD SECURITY BRIEF – TAJIKISTAN (JUNE 2013) Key Findings and Issues The food security situation was analyzed in Tajikistan’s 11 livelihood zones for the period January to May 2013, and a projection was made for the period June to October 2013. The food security status of 3 percent of the population (about 152,000 people) in rural livelihood zones was classified as Phase 3 (Crisis). The status of 39 percent of rural population (about 2,285,000 people) was classified as Phase 2 (Stressed), while the remaining 58 percent (about 3,371,000 people) was classified as Phase 1 (Minimal). In general, food security was found to have improved since the previous period (October-December 2012), with highly food insecure areas in Phase 3 (Crisis) shifting to moderately food insecure status Phase 2 (Stressed). The main contributing factors to the improvement were increased remittances, good rainfall in spring and casual labour opportunities. The seasonal availability of pasture has also led to improvement in livestock productivity and value, better food consumption pattern. Seasonally, many alternative sources of food and income became available, which includes labour planting spring crops, labor in construction work, migration, etc. Spring rains in February-March 2013 have been adequate, leading to good prospects for the cereal harvest. According to the State Statistics Agency, during the first four months of the current year, in monetary terms, agricultural production was equal to TJS 1,133.4 million and industrial production (including electricity, gas, heating) amounted TJS 2,962.0 million, which were 7.5 percent and 5.8 percent respectively higher compared to January-April 2012.

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".
