    Improving Livelihoods and Food Security of Rural Populations in Tajikistan through Strengthened Agricultural Institutions - GCP/TAJ/013/EC 2023

    In August 2012, the Government of Tajikistan approved the Agriculture Reform Programme (ARP) 2012 2020 with a view to supporting agricultural reform in the country, thereby driving plans and policies to reduce poverty, strengthening the livelihoods of rural populations and improving donor coordination. The reform was to be achieved across all agrarian sectors, including agriculture, land, water, agriculture financing and agriculture related governance, with the goal of enhancing private sector development and reducing the dependence of farmers upon state institutions. Given the consensus among Tajikistan’s development partners that the ARP has not been entirely successful on the ground, the present aimed to strengthen the agriculture reform agenda through support to restructuring of the MoA and other government institutions, as well as policy support, capacity building, training and technical assistance. Specifically, the project aimed to develop the technical and analytical capacities of staff in selected government departments, helping to design environmentally sustainable and gender sensitive agriculture policies, implement cost effective disease monitoring and control strategies, develop communication of new policies and regulations within all levels of government and adopting results based monitoring in the field, among other elements.

    Institutional frameworks that fail to provide incentives to invest in forest management and a succession of high-level national and international priorities in forestry mean that field-level activities are often overlooked. The health and vitality of forests in the Asia-Pacific region and their productivity are often compromised as a result. With demands on forests increasing and climate change threatening, efforts to maintain ecosystem services and benefits from forests should focus attention o n effective management at the field level.
