Tajikistan is proving its commitment to achieve MDGs through the comprehensive
National Development Strategy to be developed with the support from the UN in
Tajikistan, and UNDP in particular. The strategy will be based on the MDGs and also the
findings of the recently published MDG needs assessment which clearly defines interventions
and funding needed to achieve sustainable development. Environment,
including water and sanitation, as well as disaster risk management, would be the integral
elements of this strategy and are the key sectors to the attainment of all the MDGs
set for Tajikistan.The president is personally leading the development of the strategy, and
personally chairing the first government meeting where the process for developing the
strategy will be approved.

The objective of the NCSA proccess is to determine the priority capacity development needs of Tajikistan in order to meet its commitments
to global environmental management, specifically in the areas of biodiversity, climate change and combating desertification.
UNDP in partnership with AKDN, and SDC, is providing coordinated and substantial support to the Government of Tajikistan to organize
and conduct the International Conference on Transboundary River issues. The main goals of the Conference are to increase regional
cooperation management of transboundary river basins, establish dialog among Central Asian countries on management of transboundary
river basins, and work out recommendations to resolve current issues.
The Promotion of Renewable Energy Use for Development of Rural Communities interventions in Tajikistan will substitute the current,
unsustainable use of wood and fossil fuel resources by introducing mechanisms to facilitate the implementation of renewable energy
technologies on a cost recovery basis and simultaneously boost the social and economic development of the communities.
The overall goal of the “Demonstrating Local Responses to Combating Land Degradation and Improving Sustainable Land Management
in SW Tajikistan”is to demonstrate the potential to implement replicable Sustainable Land Management initiatives at the local level and
to build the capacity of local structures to do this.
Establishing an effective system of core protected areas to ensure long-term conservation of the unique and globally significant biodiversity
is a major objective in Tajikistan.The GEF is staring with Gissar Mountains.Tajikistan is also evaluating its capacity building needs,
defining country specific priorities, analyzing functional capabilities and determining mechanisms necessary to protect national biodiversity
in accordance with the BSAP recommendations.
UNDP and Tajikistan are implementing a GEF-funded project that aims to strengthen the country’s efforts in complying with Montreal
Protocol measures. The project focuses in the refrigeration sector and provides technical assistance and technology transfer that contribute
to enhancement of national public-private partnerships.
