We work in some of the remotest areas of the country, where we help the most vulnerable there to voice their rights. THE BEGINNING Mission East has been active in Tajikistan since 1997 following the ending of the civil war. In the early days our work consisted KYRGYZSTAN of providing food and shelter. Thousands of people received UZBEKISTAN direct help. Our relief activities were soon followed by commu- nity based water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH) projects, rural agriculture development activities, and – due to the disaster Penjakent CHINA prone context of the country – disaster risk reduction (DRR). Dushanbe Khalaikhumb OUR GEOGRAPHICAL REACH TAJIKISTAN The scope of our operation now reaches into Sughd, Khatlon Kulyab and the south-west side of Gorno-Badakshan. Our office in Khorog Dushanbe coordinates our programme, maintains donor contacts and ensures financial and operational oversight and administration. AFGHANISTAN Following the project, I am now convinced that taking into account the needs and rights of people with disabilities will impact our response operations positively, and already has strengthened our community’s capacity to be more resilient to natural disasters.” Imomberdi Berdov, father and elected head of the village development board in Shugnan district 2 | MISSION EAST TAJIKISTAN Mission East Tajikistan: commitment and expertise Mission East’s work in Tajikistan is characterised by expertise, commitment and experience.

  • 2013-05 Integral Disaster Response Launched for Syrian Crisis
    Integral Disaster Response Launched ± Syrian Crisis Immediate Release 8th May 2013 Integral Alliance has launched a collaborative Disaster Response for the Syrian Crisis, building on the work that Integral Members have already been carrying out in the region. By initiating the Integral Disaster Response Process more opportunities for synergy can be highlighted and collaboration between Members will be deepened. Since 2012 World Renew has been responding to the crisis through partners in Lebanon and Syria, with support from fellow Integral Members Tear Netherlands, Tearfund Belgium and World Relief (US). Since February 2013 Tearfund (UK) has been raising funds and supporting their partners based in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Since February 2013 TearFund Switzerland has been involved in fundraising for the crisis. TEAR Fund New Zealand, Tear Netherlands and World Concern are supporting partner-based responses and are looking to co-fund other Integral Members. MAP International is supplying emergency health kits to Syrian refugees through their local partner contacts. The Integral Secretariat has hosted three teleconferences to share information and plan funding and operational strategies to better coordinate the work already taking place in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan through Integral Members. This joint operations and communications response will explore how Integral can leverage institutional funding, and also facilitate more sharing of media resources for SULYDWHIXQGUDLVLQJFDPSDLJQV³7KHVSUHDGRI,QWHJUDOLV0HPEHUVLQ different countries, so agencies are not competing for funds from the same constituencies.
