State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan DEVELOPMENT PARTNER PROFILES 2011 In cooperation with United Nations Development Programme in Tajikistan and Department for International Development, UK Dushanbe 2011 Development Partner Profiles 2011 Copyright © State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan 27 Shotemur Str., Dushanbe Republic of Tajikistan 734025 Tel. (992 372) 227 59 09, 221 71 28 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Web-site: www.amcu.gki.tj Ladies and Gentlemen! On the eve of the 20th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan, it gives me great pleasure to present this most recent edition of the guide “Development Partner Profiles 2011”. Last year Tajikistan Development Forum identified development priorities for a number of sectors in accordance with the Poverty Reduction Strategy and set concrete tasks for their implementation. This process requires coordination of efforts based on quality information and mutual trust. The guide “Development partners” provides information about all international partners working in Tajikistan. Together with another publication of the State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan – “Foreign Aid Report”, this publication reveals trends in development cooperation. The objective of the guide “Development Partners” is to strengthen coordination of all partners working in Tajikistan, providing them timely and updated information about work directions of each partner. The information included in the guide will serve to: Reduce duplication and improve “division of labour” among partners; Promote collaboration between various partners and strengthen their interaction with Tajikistan Government (including alignment of aid with county national priorities); Improve information for external aid mobilization at sector and region level; Improve awareness of stakeholders and public about development partners’ activities. Transparency of information on external assistance is also important to establish mutual trust that is essential for effective cooperation. It is worth noting that lately demand for information on foreign aid has been on the rise. We are grateful to all organizations that contributed in preparation of this guide. We hope to continue our collaboration to make information on external assistance programmes accurate and available. Aid transparency is important inter alia for the results of our shared efforts to be duly appreciated by the people of Tajikistan and the international community. This year the High Level Forum in Busan will take stock of the Paris Declaration implementation. Assessment of aid should take into account country context and conditions. Activities of all partners jointly form a special and constantly changing environment. The Government of Tajikistan greatly values activity of all partners working in Tajikistan, and the present guide is the evidence of its commitment towards development of effective and constructive dialogue. We hope this guide will be helpful to facilitate further dialogue on effectiveness of foreign aid in Tajikistan and on the specific role each stakeholder is expected to play in the process. Sincerely, Davlatali Saidov Chairman State Committee on Investments and State Property Management Republic of Tajikistan The directory is prepared under the UNDP Project «Support to Effective National Aid Coordination and Investment Promotion» Project Manager, Vali Musaev, PhD.
