The Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan (SCISPM), being the state authorised body on foreign aid, attach great significance to enhancing transparency and accountability, and developing interaction mechanisms between national and international actors for external aid and development cooperation. An important tool for increasing transparency and awareness on external aid among stakeholders is the annual Development Partners Profiles guide. The guide contains comprehensive information on the operations, programmes and projects, and regional and sectoral assistance priorities of development partners in Tajikistan. The specificity of the next edition of the “Development Partners Profiles – 2016” guide is the fact that it is published on the eve of 25th Annyversary of State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan and the two important stages of international cooperation development. The updated profiles of development partners contain information about past programs and projects that had been implemented within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals until 2015, as well as information about future programs to be implemented within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals up to 2030, adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015. Since the Paris Forum 2005, Tajikistan is taking an active part in the international dialogue on aid effectiveness. In the framework of this international process, in 2011, the Republic of Tajikistan took part in the Paris Declaration Monitoring exercise. In 2013 and 2015, with the aim to assess the progress in implementing the commitments of the Busan Agreement on Effective Development Cooperation two monitoring rounds of global partnership at the country level through the use of the Aid Information Management System (AIMS) was held in Tajikistan. The results of the second round of monitoring of the Global Partnership conducted this year will be summarized and presented at the High-Level Meeting to be held in Nairobi (Republic of Kenya) at the end of 2016 in order to trace progress in the implementation of the obligations of the Busan Partnership Agreement and to harmonize the agenda of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation up to 2030. I hope that the information contained in the guide will support improved coordination efforts of ministries and departments, local state authorities, development partners, private sector and civil society in successful implementation of these strategic documents of the Government - National Development Strategy up to 2030 and Midterm Development Program for 2016-2020. I would like to express my gratitude to all development partners, for providing information about their activities and assisting in the preparation of the guide, and more importantly for their cooperation with and assistance to Tajikistan in the democratic undertaking of reforms and socio-economic development of Tajikistan.
