  • Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Provides Refresher Courses for Certs
    Enhancing readiness of emergency response volunteers in Tajikistan Aga Khan Agency for Habitat provides refresher courses for CERTs Rasht, Tajikistan, 23 April 2020 – The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) Tajikistan, through the financial support of the Government of Switzerland, completed refresher trainings for the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) formed in Rasht valley. The trainings, which were conducted within the Integrated Health and Habitat Improvement (IHHI) project, are designed to enhance the readiness of the CERTs to respond to emergency situations across the Districts of Republican Subordination. The training prepares the volunteers to be the first responders in the event of a disaster. It capitalises on their knowledge of the terrain, language and culture, as captured by trainer Munira Qurbonmamadova, “Our approach is tailored to the cultural dynamics in each area. For example, in Shashvolon, we held a separate training for the women, which was very well received.” Shukrona, a local nurse and committed community volunteer who helped mobilise her fellow women volunteers agrees, “The training offered a safe place to learn freely and to practice. Women constitute a significant number of our communities so it’s important that their specific needs are considered in emergency response.” The trainings were undertaken in seven villages of Rasht, Roghun, Lakhsh, Tojikobod, Fayzobod, Nurobod, and Sangvor districts from 17 to 20 April. A total of 210 participants (equal representation of men and women) successfully concluded the two-day training, acquiring renewed theoretical knowledge and practical experience on first aid, Incident Command System (ICS), and search and rescue. They also enhanced techniques in bleeding prevention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and victim transportation.

  • The World Bank the STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE of the REPUBLIC of TAJIKISTAN Foreword
    The World Bank THE STATE STATISTICAL COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN Foreword This atlas is the culmination of a significant effort to deliver a snapshot of the socio-economic situation in Tajikistan at the time of the 2000 Census. The atlas arose out of a need to gain a better understanding among Government Agencies and NGOs about the spatial distribution of poverty, through its many indicators, and also to provide this information at a lower level of geographical disaggregation than was previously available, that is, the Jamoat. Poverty is multi-dimensional and as such the atlas includes information on a range of different indicators of the well- being of the population, including education, health, economic activity and the environment. A unique feature of the atlas is the inclusion of estimates of material poverty at the Jamoat level. The derivation of these estimates involves combining the detailed information on household expenditures available from the 2003 Tajikistan Living Standards Survey and the national coverage of the 2000 Census using statistical modelling. This is the first time that this complex statistical methodology has been applied in Central Asia and Tajikistan is proud to be at the forefront of such innovation. It is hoped that the atlas will be of use to all those interested in poverty reduction and improving the lives of the Tajik population. Professor Shabozov Mirgand Chairman Tajikistan State Statistical Committee Project Overview The Socio-economic Atlas, including a poverty map for the country, is part of the on-going Poverty Dialogue Program of the World Bank in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan.
