Natural gas supplies have resumed from Uzbekistan. Coal production is increasing.

  • Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan
    Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Monthly Report Monitoring & Early Warning in Tajikistan MONTHLY REPORT APRIL 2012 1 Tajikistan Monitoring & Early Warning Report – April 2012 GENERAL TRENDS NATURAL HAZARDS During April, avalanches, mudflows and floods can be expected. Floods can be triggered by rain on snow and mudflows triggered by locally heavy precipitation or rapid snow melt. WEATHER Average precipitation but above average temperatures are forecasted for April for most of Tajikistan. ENERGY SECURITY Increased flows into the Nurek Cascade have resulted in the lifting of restrictions on electricity. Reports indicate that an agreement has been reached with Uzbekistan on the supply of natural gas, and deliveries restarted on 16 April. FOOD SECURITY Wheat flour prices in Khujand continue to drop while prices in Kurgan-Tube and Dushanbe remain stable, possible reflecting rail delivery delays (Kurgan-Tube) and limited roads access to the north due to heavy snow and avalanches (Dushanbe). Fuel prices have dropped slightly. The Ministry of Agriculture reports damage to crops and livestock due to severe weather in the fall of 2011/winter 2011-2012, as well as a delay in spring planting. MIGRATION AND REMITTANCES Reported migration rates for the first three months of 2012 are significantly above 2011 levels. Reported remittances are 25% above 2011 in March. These increases may indicate a reaction to shocks during the fall 2011 and winter 2011-2012. ECONOMY GDP increased from January to February by 6.9% and totaled 3,334.5 million Tajik Somoni (701 million USD). In January - February 2012, the foreign trade turnover equaled 827.1 million USD, with a negative trade balance of 415.3 million USD.

  • Annex I: Sector Operational Delivery Plans
    ANNEX I: SECTOR OPERATIONAL DELIVERY PLANS CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM) Lead agency: International Organization for Migration (IOM) Contact information: Amanda Linde ([email protected]) PEOPLE IN NEED PEOPLE REQUIREMENTS (US$) TARGETED 150,000 350,000 20,000 # OF PARTNERS 5 The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) sector in Tajikistan maintains that camps and camp-like settings are a measure of last resort, only to be undertaken when all other options have been explored. The sector does not advocate for camps or for the encampment of people, but in line with the standards and policies set by the global CCCM Sector, the CCCM sector in Tajikistan maintains a pragmatic approach that camps and camp-like settings may be the only viable option to provide protection and assistance to displaced people. The CCCM sector in Tajikistan is cross-cutting and does not replace other sectoral response plans or assistance in relation to: WASH; education; health; protection; and shelter/NFI. Rather, the CCCM sector will work with other sectors to ensure the delivery of humanitarian services to displacement sites. It is the most recent sector to be established in Tajikistan (since January 2017) and as such advocacy and capacity building are central to this response plan. This response plan is designed to address the needs of people displaced by natural disasters1 in Tajikistan in displacement settings that include: planned camps; collective centres; transit centres; and self-settled or informal camps. The response plan also includes measures to ensure the protection and delivery of humanitarian assistance to out of camp populations, such as those displaced by natural disasters living within the host community.

  • Tajikistan 2016 Human Rights Report
    TAJIKISTAN 2016 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tajikistan is an authoritarian state dominated politically by President Emomali Rahmon and his supporters. The constitution provides for a multiparty political system, but the government has historically obstructed political pluralism and continued to do so during the year. A constitutional amendment approved in a national referendum on May 22 outlawed non-secular political parties and removed any limitation on President Rahmon’s terms in office as the “Leader of the Nation,” allowing him to further solidify his rule. Civilian authorities only partially maintained effective control over security forces. Officials in the security services and elsewhere in the government acted with impunity. The most significant human rights problems included citizens’ inability to change their government through free and fair elections; torture and abuse of detainees and other persons by security forces; repression, increased harassment, and incarceration of civil society and political activists; and restrictions on freedoms of expression, media, and the free flow of information, including through the repeated blockage of several independent news and social networking websites. Other human rights problems included torture in the military; arbitrary arrest; denial of the right to a fair trial; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; prohibition of international monitors’ access to prisons; poor religious freedom conditions; violence and discrimination against women; limitations on worker rights; and trafficking in persons, including sex and labor trafficking. There were very few prosecutions of government officials for human rights abuses. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings While the law prohibits extrajudicial killings by government security forces, there were several reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.

    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.
