State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development 2003-2005 Azerbaijan Progresses Toward the Achievement of the Mill STATE PROGRAMME ON POVERTY REDUCTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2003-2005 AZERBAIJAN PROGRESSES TOWARD THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS PROGRESS REPORT – 2003/2004 BAKU – 2005 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN on Approval of the State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005 The consistent reform program carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years has helped to ensure economic development, gradual improvement of macroeconomic performance and improvement of the living standards in the country. Thus, in the period 1996-2002, Gross Domestic Product increased by 1.7 times, capital investment increased by 7.8 times, nominal monetary income of population increased by 3 times and average monthly wages and pensions increased by 5 times. There are improvements in other economic performance indicators. However, these ongoing efforts and achievements have not yet led to a sufficiently high level of economic development and the living standards of the population have still not reached international standards: part of population is still unemployed, minimum wages are not sufficient to meet the minimum subsistence level and a number of factors causing poverty have not been eliminated. In order to further strengthen social protection of the population for the near future, ensure poverty reduction in the country and implement necessary measures to meet the commitments of the 2000 United Nations Millennium Summit, I hereby decree: 1. The “State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005” shall be approved. 2. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan shall be responsible for coordinating the implementation of measures set out in the State Program. 3. The Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan Republic shall be responsible for taking steps to ensure the implementation of this Decree. 4. This Decree shall become effective from the date of signature. Heydar Aliyev President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Baku, February 20, 2003 N854 2 Combating poverty is one of the main priorities for us. Policies are carried out in this direction, and the level of poverty decreases year by year in Azerbaijan… From this viewpoint, we should work in close collaboration with international organizations. There should not be any poor people in Azerbaijan. Ilham Aliyev President of the Republic of Azerbaijan 3 Our task is to strengthen the struggle against poverty, reduce and in future completely eliminate poverty in Azerbaijan. Heydar Aliyev National Leader of Azerbaijan 4 Foreword As in many countries of the world, poverty in Azerbaijan represents a major obstacle to the sustainable development of society, and poverty reduction is one of the government’s key priorities. In order to achieve poverty reduction in the country and improve the living standards of the population, the National Leader of Azerbaijani people, Heydar Aliyev, approved the ”State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development” (SPPRED) on February 20, 2003 that includes, which sets out concrete policy actions in this regardto achieve these aims. It should be noted that poverty reduction programmes are being implemented in more than 70 countries throughout the world, and that 191 countries have undertaken to halve poverty by 2015, in line with the Millennium Declaration adopted in New York by the UN General Assembly in September 2000. Since the launch of the Programme, Azerbaijan has made significant progress in achieving the goals set out in the SPPRED, and also in defining theits country-specific Millennium Development Goals. The implementation status of the measures carried out under the Programme, and as well as their impact on the population’s welfare, have been regularly monitored by the SPPRED Secretariat, and were summarised in thelastannual report.Thisyear’sreportlooksattheachievementsandchallengesfor 2003/2004. Progress made in poverty reduction in the country has been achieved thanks to the active participation of, and cooperation between, the central and local executive bodies, and other relevant agencies, including international donor organizations, foreign and local NGOs, and civil society. I would like to express my profound gratitude to all of our partners for their valuable assistance in working towards the achievement of the goals; and also take the opportunity to invite them to join us in a new stage of cooperation, namely in the formulation and implementation of a Sustainable Human Development Programme, which will represent the next stage in the country’s efforts to achieve sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.

  • Coping Strategies of Internal Refugees in Baku, Azerbaijan a Qualitative
    Coping strategies of internal refugees in Baku, Azerbaijan A qualitative field study Av Jenny Geuken LUNDS UNIVERSITY Socialhögskolan Bachelor thesis (SOPA63) VT13 Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Author: Jenny Geuken Title: Coping Strategies of internal refugees in Baku, Azerbaijan, A qualitative study Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Abstract This paper explores how internal refugees living in Baku, from the area of Nagorno-karabakh, have coped with trauma during the waiting period of returning to their home regions. Also including how they have dealt with the waiting period itself and not just their trauma. Results were reached using a qualitative research method in the form of interviewing 10 Internal refugees. The data was later analyzed through the transactional coping theory. All participants of the study used hope of returning to their home regions, helping- and talking to each other about their problems. Other coping strategies employed were patience, withdrawal, work and visiting graves. They have used both approach- and avoidant styles of coping. Avoidant styles of coping were more common in dealing with their trauma, while approach styles of coping was common in dealing with stressors of everyday life as a internal refugee. There were also differing attitudes towards the idea of receiving mental health services where the majority would not use them. Instead all internal refugees desired to return home. Key words: Trauma, IDP mental health, IDP mental healthcare, Coping strategies, dealing with trauma, Azerbaijan. Acknowledgments I want to send out a thank you to supervisors both in the field and from Lunds university. A special thanks to teachers and representatives from the azerbaijani university who helped a great deal in contacting the field and making this study possible.
