From the viewpoint of the considered relationship, the studies results make possible to think about the probability of a risk factor on several aspects: The reservoir was built in 2007, and to this day the water area has been expanding without taking into account the necessary distance from the mud volcano. Excluding the north-eastern part the mud volcano, other sides of its crater buried beneath the Reservoir water. Due to the daily activity of the mud volcano, heavy toxic metals, gases, radioactive elements and etc. have been ejecting to the Earth’s surface in the compositions of various phase of volcanic products and directly contact with the Reservior water. Expansion the Reservoir area and water volume leads to increase in additional geostatistical pressure in volcanic area. In addition, the mud volcano is located near the Shamakhi-Ismayilli active seismic zone in Azerbaijan. Both factors increase the eruption risk the volcano that has been “asleep” for many years.

  • 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.

  • Assessment of Business Planning in Primary Care Facilities in Tajikistan
    2019 Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Assessment of business planning in primary care facilities in Tajikistan Abstract This report presents the main findings and recommendations of the assessment of the business planning implementation in primary health care facilities in Tajikistan. Since it was introduced in 2005, business planning in Tajikistan has grown into a nationally adopted mechanism for strengthening district and primary health care facility management. In 2019, an assessment took place to evaluate the results of the business planning implementation. The findings revealed that business planning was regarded as an efective managerial tool that improved the health of and relationships with the populations served. The most important outcome of business planning is the reported improved responsiveness to the health needs of the population, especially more vulnerable groups. Implementation of business planning has increased the transparency of the health facilities’ activities and resources and has strengthened the primary care management capacity. Nevertheless, the health system has challenges afecting the success of business planning that need to be addressed for its further success and sustainability in the country.
