From October 1, 2014, the supply of electricity was limited across districts due to the reduction of water flow from the Vakhsh River and the need to fill the Nurek reservoir for winter. FOOD SECURITY In January, regional food availability will remain good due to the local wheat harvest and imports from Kazakhstan. Wheat grain and wheat flour prices will remain stable in Tajikistan.

Links to the National Poverty Reduction Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy The proposed project will finance the construction of a 72 km long bypass road to replace a section of the existing M- 41 highway (the project road), which will be inundated as a result of the construction of the Rogun hydropower plant (HPP) located northeast of Dushanbe. The project road will ensure continued operation of an important CAREC corridor linking Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, and improve connectivity of 13 local villages that previously had poor access to neighboring cities. The project is aligned with the Government of Tajikistan’s National Development Strategy 2016–2030, which prioritizes both the development of hydropower capacity and the implementation of regional transport projects, to enable Tajikistan to become a regional leader in the production and transiting of clean energy, and to expand transit capabilities of the country.
