Results from the implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2010 2012:poverty reduction trend The priority goal of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan is to improve the standards of living of the population and to reduce poverty. Economic development and poverty reduction have improved annually due to the expansion of economic reforms, the development of new economic sectors, the implementation of strategic and programmatic goals, and actions taken to ensure macro-economic stability. In the framework of this strategy measures are undertaken with the aim of achieving national priorities, which are in line with the National Development Strategy. The work has continued on the following direction: − public administration reform for establishing an effective system of national economy de velopment, ensuring transparency and accountability, combatting corruption, and creating favourable macro-economic conditions; − development of the private sector and attraction of investments to contribute to sustainable economic development and economic diversification; − diversify the economy through private sector development and stimulation of investments in priority directions; − development of human potential by making social services accessible to thepopulation, im proving their quality, encouraging the population’s participation in development, and strengthening social partnerships. The main development directions are specified in the National Development Strategy and in clude ensuring the general condition for the development of a sustainable economy and human po tential, which are gradually being implemented. National economic development has resulted from the implementation and achievement of strategic goals and national priorities, and actions have been taken to ensure macro-economic stabil ity. In this context, according to the latest research (1999 to 2009), the poverty rate was reduced from 81 to 46.7 per cent. In 2010, this indicator dropped to 45 per cent, and according to calcula tions based on the per capita GDP, the poverty rate indicator dropped to 42 percent in 2011. Table 1. The poverty reduction trend, 1999-2011 The reduction in the poverty rate from 1999 to 2011 was mostly affected by economic devel opment resulting from ensured macro-economic, social and political stability in the country (Table 1). Effective implementation of measures specified in the Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2010 2012 contributes to the national sustainable social and economic development. According to the re 13 sults of the most recent progress report on the PRS 2010-2012, the calculations based on the devel opment of per capita GDP show a poverty rate of approximately 38 percent for 2012. The following actions have been implemented during the reporting period. Table 2.

Lessons learned during the implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2010−2012 Some challenges were noted during the implementation of this strategy and the following les sons learned can be drawn: − Actions of the monitoring and evaluation bodies to implement mid-term strategies within the National Development Strategy as well as sectoral and regional programmes in ministries and agencies, including at the local level, proved to be effective; actions should be continued in this direction with a view to capacity building. − Some planned actions were not closely harmonized with sectoral strategies and programmes, by-laws, and effective agreements with international organizations. Drawing on lessons learned from the implementation of the PRS-3 for 2010−2012, a number of necessary actions and amendments were introduced to the Living Standards Improvement Strate gy for 2013-2015. For example, for enhancing the coordination among ministries and agencies, lo cal governments and international organizations, the needed changes for the monitoring system of the new strategy were introduced. The actions of this strategy became more focused with concrete, measurable and realistic indicators and the number of actions and indicators was reduced compared to previous strategies (Table 2). 1.3. Objectives and main priorities of the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistanpopulation for 2013-2015”: ensuring social and economic development and in creasing the middle-class population The “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” is developed with in the framework of the “National Development Strategy up to 2015”; it is a three-year, mid-term programme.

At the same time the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” harmonizes sectoral and regional strategies and programmes, andsets the country’s development trend. In the functional section, the actions will be continued towards the strengthening of the general development foundationsfor improving the public administration, ensuring sustainable economic devel opment based on the development of the private sector, and stimulating investments for the strategic and priority aims. In this context, strengthening the bases for development will be implemented by: − strengthening the public administration, improving transparency and accountability, setting up the necessary legal regulatory framework for development and for combating corruption; − ensuring sustainable GDP growth; developing fiscal and monetary policy; − improving foreign trade policy and procedures; strengthening Tajikistan’s contribution to global trade; facilitating regional cooperation; developing tourism and regulating labour mi gration processes; − improving the business climate, in particular by strengthening its legal basis; supporting en trepreneurship development and attracting investment, applying necessary reforms in the fi nancial sphere and improving institutional foundations. The strengthening of sustainable economic development aims at achieving national priorities, thus ensuring the development of the energy and industry sectors and infrastructures, as well as 15 food security. Taking into consideration the strengthening of sustainable economic development the human development is ensured and the social sectors of the country will be developed. Accordingly, sustainable economic development will be implemented by: − developing the energy and infrastructure sectors as well as industry and its diversification through private and public sector cooperation; completing projects aimed at improving re gional accessibility and transit roads for ensuring trade development; ensuring the effective ness of the energy sector through the introduction of institutional, administrative, manage ment and technical reforms; − determining a general strategy for the energy sector with short-, medium- and long-term pri orities by relying on principles of effective management aimed at attracting foreign direct investments and exploring alternative energy sources; − ensuring food security through the development of the agriculture sector, ensuring water supply and land tenure; increasing the effectiveness of producing agricultural goods, includ ing cotton; − developing agricultural infrastructure, particularly the water supply sector, and water re sources management; − implementing guarantees and rights related to land use; − make normative legal documents compliant with the view to ensure a climate favourable for agriculture development; − expanding population access to loans and high-quality and nutritious food.

In order to ensure an effective implementation of the “Living Standards Improvement Strate gy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” poverty reduction shall include lifting the poor into the middle class. Other aims include improving the well-being of the population and their standards of living, reducing the poverty rate, increasing the middle-class and developing the social and economic sec tors. The concept of the middle class has been widely discussed in international social, economic and political debates during recent years. The sustainable development of the middle-class in the country would guarantee economic and social development, ensure effective management practices in all sectors, promotemodern reforms and implement the country’s national and strategic priorities. In aspiring to the middle class, individuals will attempt to save money, and will pursue sec ondary and higher education. They will be capable of supporting the state government, the rule of law, rights to property, infrastructure, and quality education as well as a sustainable economy. Therefore, rapid and sustainable growth of the middle-class depends on economic develop ment and poverty reduction. The common indicator of the middle class is based on an average consumption level in East ern European and Central Asian countries. The livelihood indicators, based on per capita consump tion, are consolidated and identified through surveys of household budgets in Eastern European and Central Asian countries, thus showing the expenditure ratio in these countries. Gross consumption indicators in all these countries are reflected in a single system of welfare measures using calculation coefficients in proportion to international purchasing power. Based on consumption distribution of households to relevant equal groups in all countries of Eastern Europe, a household is set as indicator limit identifying the middle class. Consequently, the international middle class is defined as representing a household whose per capita daily expenditure is valued at US$5.6 to US$11.6 in terms of purchase power parity (PPP). With regard to the globally accepted common indicator of middle-class status and based on the consumption gap in Eastern European and Central Asian countries, the middle-class population in Tajikistan is calculated by using relevant calculation coefficients in relation to PPP, and the mar ginal indicator of the middle class is calculated in national currency. 17 CHAPTER 2.

According to indicator of the strategy the GDP growth in 2012 and 2015 will be more for 2 and 3 times respectively as compared to 2008. Increased production in the industry and agriculture sectors, and stimulation of foreign trade and investment were observed during this 2008-2012 period and maintained as consumption demand in creased. All of these factors led to a positive impact in the national economic development. As a re sult, the per capita GDP gradually increased, and on average it accounts for TJS3376.3 or USD777.1. 21 In the last three years, on average, an increase for 8.4 percent in industrial production; 8.5 percent in agriculture, including 8.4 percent in crop production, 8.1 percent in livestock; 11.2 per cent in retail, and 15.7 percent in paid services have been ensured. 2.2.1. Main directions and priorities − Implement a system of prospective macro-economic planning and align statistical systems and indicators to current international systems. − Increase the effectiveness of administering public funds and improve tax management. − Improve the fiscal policy through its compliance with the state-of-the-art international sys tem by developing monetary, credit and financial activities − Implement regional development programmes taking into consideration the priorities of the “National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan up to 2015” and the «Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015”. 2.2.2. To achieve these priorities, the following challenges should be addressed as strategic goals and tasks of the sector and ensuring macroeconomic development: − There is an insufficient level of integrating national priorities in the macro-economic policy as well as an inadequate coordination of activities performed by economic sectors in devel oping macro-economic, monetary and crediting fiscal policies and programmes. As a result, it is not possible to fully improve state policy on the macro-economic sector. − The distribution of resources in the country, including the budget, the state investment pro gramme and other national, sectoral and regional assistance programmes, are still not fully coordinated and integrated into a single process. The necessary procedures and mechanisms for this process are not established and must be in full compliance with national develop ment priorities and main strategies. − The relationship between the tax (customs) policy and the monetary and credit policy are not aligned with social and economic development priorities. Credits with high interest ratesare considered a strong constraint to the development of SMEs. A securities market that could provide free entry of capital is underdeveloped. 2.2.3. Suggestions and main goals − Improve the fiscal and budget policy using the state-of-the-art international system. − Further improve monetary and credit policy by applying contemporary development oriented international directions. − Pursue institutional tax and budget reform as well as in monetary and credit policies; − Adapt the regional development programmes of the country to strategic goals and actions of the Livelihood Improvement Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2013-2015. 2.2.4. Tasks and main strategic measures to be implemented, 2013-2015 2.2.4.1. In order to increase the effectiveness of public funds management and improve tax administration (fiscal policy), the following measures will be taken: − Implement regulations of the Tax Code of the Republic of Tajikistan in new revision aimed at ensuring private sector and entrepreneurship development. − Actions are planned to adapt customs tariffs, laws and regulations, simplify the legal cus toms framework, introduce new information technologies for customs registration and sur veillance, and construct additional customs infrastructure facilities. − Special measures are planned to increase the effectiveness of the budget expenditures, includ ing the improvement of the budget process and the clear distribution of roles among all bodies involved in this process, as well as issues on aligning the budget with national priorities. − The necessary measures are planned for capacity building related to the development and implementation of national and local budgets, introducing an effective state procurement 22 mechanism, improving the public financial inspection system and reforming the civil serv ants’ salary system. 2.2.4.2. Measures to improve macro-economic forecasting and statistics − Necessary measures are planned for improving forecast of macro-economic indicators by building the capacities of the executive authorities, using forecasting in designing the na tional budget, improving the level of sectoral and regional forecast based on state-of-the-art forecasting models and statistical analysis. − Macro-economic planning will be enhanced by taking into account the national objectives and priorities, sectoral tasks and measures, budget opportunities and external aid. − The collection and processing information will be improved in statistics sector, and modern international methods will be applied. 2.2.4.3. Measures for improving monetary and credit policy and the finance sector − Monetary and credit policy will be aimed at achieving a relatively reduced level of inflation that would allow favourable conditions for economic development. − Necessary measures will be taken for increasing confidence in the banking system, including attracting foreign financial institutes to the domestic market and motivating commercial banks to develop financial products. − Microfinance initiatives will expanded and long-term credits will be supported to reduce in terest rates. − To develop non-cash transactions (debit card and credit cards), the currency exchange mar ket will be supported by technical facilities, an automated electronic trading system of for eign currencies, and electronic trade of products and services; − To introduce accounting and registration of all purchase and sale operations for ensuring proper taxation of subjects under all forms of ownership. 2.2.5. Expected outcomes in macro-economic development − An effective national development system is established. − A single, up-to-datemacro-economic policy is applied that is aimed at achieving the national objectives and priorities. − Capacity building of the statistics authorities allows to support decision-making. − The state monetary and credit, budget and fiscal policies as well as other state policies are implemented in order to achieve the national objectives and priorities. − Regional development programmes and other current programmes and plans facilitate na tional policy, and will be provided with necessary resources. 2.2.6. Probable scenarios on national social and economic development, and outlook of the main macro-economic indicators for 2013-2015 “Forecast of the main macro-economic indicators for 2013 and basic parameters for 2014−2015” is designed by taking into account: an analysis and evaluation of development through out global economies and countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS); external fac tors associated with global trade; price fluctuations in global goods and services markets (based on In ternational Monetary Fund studies); and policy directions and priorities of national economic devel opment. It is also based on sectoral economic development trends for the recent years. Under unstable global economic development conditions and due to significant changes in the global markets, Tajikistan’s economic development will mostly be ensured by taking into account inter nal factors, as well as by gradually shifting from an economy based on raw materials to one based on manufacturing and processing products. Implementing adopted programmes on light industry develop ment, increasing the volume of aluminum and cotton processing in the country, providing food security, promoting diversification, and developing export potential will help address the above issues. 23 Three likely scenarios of the country’s social and economic development are currently fore seen: the main scenario, option “A”, option “B” and option “C”. The main scenario is designed based on evaluating positive external and internal conditions for national economic development. According to this scenario, there will be: a gradual recovery from the global economy crisis; a continuation of the current, positive trend for developing the national eco nomic sectors and as well as development of provinces of the country, implementation of planned ac tions on production diversification; a renewed attraction of foreign investment to the national econo my; ensured stability of the national currency exchange rate; an increase in the population’s real in come, including from increased remittances; and a moderate increase in the inflation level. It is expected that one of the factors in national economic development will be the increased power production by running the Sangtuda-2 Hydroelectric Power Station to its full capacity, con structing small- and medium-sized hydro-electric power stations, and power transmission lines, and using alternative energy sources. Annual power generation will increase 6−7 per cent and by 2015 will reach approximately 20.5 billion kW/hour. This also allows to increase its export potential. This will allow to increase the annual GDP growth between 7.4 and 7.5 per cent. The annual inflation rate is forecasted to drop to 7 per cent in 2015. Unemployment will re main at 2.3−2.4 per cent. Option “A” foresees a more positive global economic development, a more active trend of recov ery from the recession in 2013, and a recovery of global prices of raw markets at the 2010−2011 level. According to this scenario, the development of entire economic sectors will be revitalized. There will also be increased incentives to produce goods and provide services, particularly in ex port-oriented sectors through implementation of the planned actions on production diversification, which will lead to rapid economic development. This development scenario foresees favourable conditions for the construction of the Roghun Hydro-electric Power Station, which, in 2014 as planned, would enable the launching of the first two assemblies for the power plant and an increase in power to 25 kW/hour. It is expected that the GDP will increase 7.9 percent in 2013 to 8.7 per cent in 2015. This sce nario is mostly dependent on development of partner countries, connected to increased global prices for oil that will provide opportunities for an increase in salary payments. At the same time, compared to the main scenario, this factor will facilitate an increase of approximately 20 per cent of migrant re mittances to the country, which will have a relatively strong impact on increasing the purchase power. Option “B” reflects a conservative assessment of the global economic development, a reduc tion in the recovery rate and an economic downfall in some countries. A strong reduction in global economic development will cause reduced demands and a further decline of prices of oil and other items, particularly in 2013. In 2014 and 2015, the global economy will overcome the economic cri sis but with difficulty. This scenario forecasts a decline in national economic development. The GDP compared to the main scenario will continue to increase by 0.5−0.9, reaching 6.5 per cent in 2013 and 7 per cent in 2015. Foreign trade will drop due to a reduced volume of export transactions. A decline in global economic development will cause reduction in the attracting foreign in vestments, which will have a negative impact on the implementation of many investment projects, including in the energy sector. This will create problems in providing sufficient power to meet the country’s needs. Demand for employing a foreign labour force will decline due to a slow-down in economic development of economic partner countries of Tajikistan, which will make it difficult to provide migrants with employment. This will lead to the reduction of the number of outbound labour mi grants and will create difficulties in the domestic labour market. Therefore, the unemployment rate according to the conservative scenario will increase to 4.2 percent in 2013, and in light of some im provements in the global economy forecast in 2015, it will drop to 3.6 percent. Migrant remittances in 2013 will drop to 11 per cent, and increase to 20 percent in 2015. Option "C" (crisis) predicts that crisis factors will intensify in 2013 and will cause recession in the world economy. Such trend can bring a repetition of crisis situation of 2008-2009 years and 24 its consequences will cause reduction of the world economic growth and even its recession. The world demand will decrease significantly that will affect world trade and will bring about fluctuat ing prices in commodity markets. The national economic growth rate may decrease up to 4% in 2013 in such condition. Positive income trend of population will decrease due to reduction in remittances from economic partner countries of Tajikistan. Economic regression of these countries will cause reduction in remittances for about 20% in 2013 and will gradually reach the 2012 level by 2015. The world economy will gradually recover during 2014-2015, but high uncertainty rates and break-up of crisis factors will persist. Direction of internal resources, state support of real sectors of economy, as well as further support for development of SME will be factors of economic development during crisis period. Due to revival of world trade and improvement of economic situation in partner countries during 2014 2015 period the economic growth rate of the country will increase and will reach 7% by 2015 2.2.7. The following variants are forcasted according to likely scenarios of social and eco nomic development of the country and main macroeconomic indicators for 2013-2015 and based on living standard survey and calculations conducted on the basis of the World Bank methodology.

Ensure an improved investment climate, and private sector and entrepreneurship development The national political and investment climate as well as its adopted normative legal frame work make it possible to address priority issues on national economic development and recovery, attract more investments in the national economy and develop the private sector. During the past period, the Government performed necessary actions for supporting the bank ing and production sectors, accelerating the process of regulatory policy reform through procedural simplification and cost-effectiveness in carrying out business activities. Improving effective legislation in Tajikistan reflects the state policy on supporting all types of entrepreneurial activities including private entrepreneurship. Therefore, regularly introducing amendments to the tax and customs codes are considered the main factors for ensuring that legisla tion complies with international standards and the Government guarantees the protection of taxpay ers’ rights. The Government’s efforts in improving the investment climate is shown through the es tablishment of an Advisory Council, which will answer to the Presidential Office. Measures are being implemented to provide favourable conditions for attracting foreign capital, supporting marketing structures and developing the commercial finance and banking system. The proce dure for registering joint ventures and enterprises with different forms of ownership has been simplified. The development of Tajikistan’s economy is linked to the global economy in many ways, and just as in other countries, it has suffered from the financial and economic crisis. As a member of international community with equal rights, Tajikistan aims to implement economic reform in order to be more closely aligned with the global economy. Economic reforms implemented in recent years, including improvement in the enabling environment for business and the investment climate, and the institutional reform process is gradually continuing. This reform process laid solid foundations for the development of the infrastructure for the market economy. During this period, from 2010 to 2012, the recognition of Tajikistan as one of top ten reform ist countries in the annual World Bank report Doing Business is an important sign that, notwith standing all challenges and the impact of the financial and economic crisis, the country is steadfast on its own way towards sustainable development. This development is due to commissioning re forms, setting up a reliable infrastructure and gradually achieving national priorities and national strategic development aims. Necessary activities are being carried out to improve the investment climate, develop the pri vate sector and entrepreneurship, and improve access to markets. This will create the conditions for further sustainable economic development and improve the volume and quality of social services provision. At the same time the mentioned issues will be also under the focus while developing and implementing development programmes of cities and districts of the country through the develop ment of a competitive environment, providing the conditions for creating employment, including self-employment, and a stable tax flow. 2.3.1. Main goalsand priorities − Improve the legal framework for ensuring an improved investment climate and entrepre neurship development. − Support entrepreneurship and attract investments by strengthening and improving develop ment-oriented directions compliant with state-of-the-art international requirements. − Increase investment and entrepreneurship activities to achieve national priorities and the na tional development strategy. 2.3.2.

In order to facilitate entrepreneurship, the following measures should be taken: − Implement and monitor transparent and efficient measures of state support to SMEs, includ ing provision of information and training, and the development of the microfinance services market with the participation of civil society. − Create favourable conditions for enterprises to develop entrepreneurial networks. − Continue effective operations within the Consultative Council under the President on Im proving Investment Climate, with the participation of the private sector, civil society, entre preneurs and investors. − Take positive measures for establishing relevant dialogue between the private and public sector. 2.3.5. Expected outcomes in the field of improvement of investment climate, and private sector and entrepreneurship development − The improved legislation and regulation on investment and entrepreneurship reduces entre preneurial and investment risks, and generates effective domestic employment. It also facili tates access for foreign investors to Tajikistan’s market and enhances its attractiveness for domestic and foreign investors. − Effective state support to entrepreneurship and an improved investment climate guarantee and improve economic and social stability, and effective management. It also promotes the current reform and implements national and strategic priorities. − The development of the private sector is linked to economic development, poverty reduc tion, and growth of the middle-class population. − The number of inspections will be reduced significantly and ungrounded inspections will be totally eradicated. 2.3.6. Effective goals of entrepreneurial and investment activities, and guarantees and priv ileges in this sector Investment in the national economy guarantees successful development, the widening of the scope of entrepreneurship and access to new Asian markets. 2.3.6.1. Attractive sectors for entrepreneurial activities: − the mining industry; − the chemical industry; − construction and manufacturing of construction materials; − light and food industry; − agriculture, processing agricultural products; − transportation and communications; − tourism. 2.3.6.2. Tajikistan’s mining resources – identification, prospecting and development of more than 400 mineral and non-mineral mines – and the right to exploit them will be granted on the basis of tenders. Some of these resources includes: − gold and silver mines; − iron ores – bismuth and tungsten; − stibium reserves; − marble, granite, decorative precious stones; − oil and gas reserves. 28 2.3.6.3. Tajikistan – a country rich in water resources – is ideal for the development of hy dropower production. Tajikistan’s hydropowercapacity is estimated at 527 billion kW/hour of annual power generation; however, only 6 per cent of the resources are exploited. The Government determined the list of priority investment projects for the construction of hydroelectric power stations and thermal power plants. 2.3.6.4. Agriculture The climatic conditions, abundant solar power and water, and highly fertile valleys make it possible to cultivate fruits and vegetables. Priorities for developing the agricultural sector are as fol lows: − processing of agricultural products; − processing of wool and leather; − cotton processing; − horticulture and vegetable growing (ecologically clean products); − cattle-breeding; − beekeeping; − land development or land reclamation for farming. 2.3.6.5. Tourism Having developed tourism infrastructures and services, Tajikistan has the following positive tourism opportunities for further development: − Ecotourism − Health care improvement − Mountaineering and hunting. 2.3.6.6.

The Government’s priority goals in entrepreneurship and investment development are to pro mote a comprehensive export-oriented economic development as a result of developing the real sec tors of the economy and to increase the private sector’s share in the national economy. 2.4. Development of special economic zones: free economic zones and technology parks “Sughd”, “Panj”, “Danghara” and “Ishkoshim” free economic zones are established in the country for achieving national priorities through regional development, increasing the national manufacturing and export potential, and at the same time, attracting even more foreign capital. In order to regulate the procedures for implementing a special legal framework for entrepre neurial and investment activities in the free economic zones and strengthen the legal and organiza tional frameworks of the technology parks, the relevant laws “On Free Economic Zones” and “On Technology Parks” were developed and adopted. Free economic zones are divided according to the type of activity, such as: − Industrial activity (manufacturing industrial products); − Commercial and trade activity; − Services; − Innovative, scientific and research-oriented activity. Moreover, they can have functional (complex) specifics of the Free Economic Zones. A number of companies with US$72 million were registered in the free economic zones. The Free Economic Zones are exempt from all taxes (except income tax and social tax). 2.4.1. The main reasons for setting up and developing free economic zones and technology parks are to: − develop the economic and social potential of the country, its separate regions and localities; − develop scientific, technical, technological and innovative opportunities in the country; − create favourable conditions for attracting investments to real economic sectors. − organize and implement state and non-state innovative programmes; − improve the management quality, ensure production effectiveness and manufacture products having a competitive advantage in the global market; − increase export capacity and develop import-substituting production. − establish foreign and regional economic relations. − develop new locations and support urban development. 2.4.2. Current challenges in the medium term: − the lack of a strategy concerning the development of free economic zones; − lack of clear and complete objectives for the establishment and development of zones; − the fact that not all issues concerning funding administrations and building infrastructure have been resolved; − the shortage of highly qualified personnel and the low level of incentives in the social sphere; − the lack of state guarantees for attracting capital; − the lack of prioritization of investment projects; 30 − inadequate definition of effective legislation regulations for this sector; − lack of coherence between the free economic zones and the free economic zone model in terms of goals and objectives. 2.4.3. Recommendations for addressing challenges, 2013-2015 − Design and adopt a “Strategy for the Development of Free Economic Zones in the Republic of Tajikistan”. − Design and adopt a “Strategy for the Development of Free Economic Zones up to 2030”. − Commission research to study the real state of the free economic zones. − Evaluate global models concerning the organization and activities of analogous zones. − Fully determine the administration procedures of the free economic zones. − Specify sources and procedures for attracting funds for the start-up construction of priority infrastructure for ensuring customs inspection. − Create the infrastructural and communal conditions for starting activities of the free eco nomic zone bodies. − Resolve issues of the administrations, clearly specifying the staff positions, compensation is sues, improve professional capacity, and conduct re-training based in free economic zones of other developed countries. 2.4.4. Tasks, main strategic and priority measures for 2013-2015 The main tasks of state authorities and administrations of the free economic zones during the implementation phase of this Strategy include: − organizing technology parks; − ensuring the effective operations of the free economic zones; − completing the transition phase and developing plots of lands within the zone territories; − creating favourable conditions for entrepreneurship (manufacturing and investment activi ties); − achieving high level of development, importing modern equipment and technologies, and at tracting more domestic and foreign capital. The sector’s basic measures and priorities during implementation period of this Strategy in clude the following: − Design projects, attract capital, and construct and use infrastructural facilities in the free economic zones. − Design projects, attract capital, construct and exploit communal infrastructure facilities, in cluding the drinking and industrial water supply, the sewage system, the electricity and natu ral gas supply, different means of communication, regional roads, water pumping stations, and administrative and public buildings; − Design projects, attract capital, construct and exploit vitally important facilities in the zones such as railway stations, logistics and transportation centres with warehouses for conserving national goods and products. − Design projects, attract capital and construct and exploit service infrastructures for ensuring efficient entrepreneurial and investment activities, including: consolidating activities into sin gle centres for service providers according to a “single window” scheme for entrepreneurship; setting up investment and innovation support centres; setting up centres of alternative energy and its effective use; setting up investment funds for the free economic zones; organizing in ternational exhibitions; and setting up websites and information support systems. − Take measures to ensure human potential development, apply strategic planning and man agement, develop a concept on development of free economic zones and techno parks, and a “Strategy for the Development of Free Economic Zones up to 2030”. − Ensure the active participation of the competent state authorities in managing the free eco nomic zones, financial policy, investment and support to entrepreneurship, customs, tax and 31 statistics; ensure the active participation of administrative personnel concerning international and domestic issues related to the sector’s development; conduct meetings, seminars, train ing and refresher training, and improve the level of professionalism of this staff. − Take measures to organize re-training and enhance the professionalism of personnel from concerned ministries and agencies and of administrative staff of the free economic zones’ entities; organize specialized institutions for building the operational and technical capaci ties of personnel. − Take regular measures to harmonize the sector’s legislation with effective normative legal documents; draw from global experience and development countries in this regard. − Take measures to fully distribute up to 80 percent of lands among the entrepreneurs of the free economic zones. 2.4.5. Expected outcomes by 2015 The main strategic and priority measures are planned that as a result of their implementation the following outcomes will be achieved by 2015: − Communal infrastructure facilities are constructed, including drinking and industrial water supply facility, the sewage system, electricity and natural gas supply, several communica tions systems, regional roads, water pumping stations; administrative, social and public buildings are completed and fully operational. − Issues relating to the project design and attracting capital for constructing railway areas and stations are fully resolved, and construction work has commenced. − The first phase of construction of logistics and transportation centres are completed with warehouses to conserve goods and products. − Single service centres for entities based on “Single window” model, business, investment and innovation support centres, investment funds of zones, a part of international exhibi tions, websites of the free economic zones will start their activity. − A concept on development of free economic zones and techno parks, and the “Strategy for the Development of Free Economic Zones up to 2030” is developed and being implemented. − Representatives of concerned ministries and agencies, administrations and entities of free economic zones actively participate in international and domestic activities related to the sector’s development, meetings, seminars, training, re-training and professional capacity building. − The level of professional knowledge of workers from relevant ministries and agencies, ad ministration staff, and specialists of entities from the free economic zones’ meets global re quirements and competitiveness. − Specialized institutions are beginning to operate in the free economic zones to strengthen the capacities of technical personnel. − Sectoral legislation is harmonized and facilitated by effective normative and legal docu ments, taking into consideration global experiences from developed countries to improve the competitiveness of the free economic zones. − Targeted training of specialists for implementing Strategy on innovative projects is conduct ed; − Construction of all infrastructure facilities to organize the free economic zones is completed and used; and the relevant activities of all authorities to ensure the effective operations of the free economic zones are carried out. − Favourable conditions are created to develop higher professional education institutions and increase their budgets. − Favourable conditions are created to develop SMEs and for manufacturing competitive products. − Specialists are trained in the country and abroad in developing innovative activities and im plementing innovative technology. 32 2.5. Enhancing integration with the global economy: the WTO, the development of tour ism and cross-border trade The main goals of the country’s foreign economic policy and the basis for global partnership development to achieve development goals are to: strengthen the integration of the national econo my into the global economy; ensure the country’s commitment to the international distribution of labour; create the conditions for streamlining domestic enterprises to international production trends; stimulate exports and investments; ensure the country’s participation in drafting internation al trade rules; and achieve sustainable development. The particular feature of Tajikistan’s foreign economic policy is its regional character. Such attitude provides for Tajikistan’s participation in regional and bilateral trade agreements for stimu lating trade and rationally using available resources and factors of production based on compliance with the rules and regulations of the multilateral trade system. 2.5.1. The World Trade Organization Tajikistan’s membership in the WTO is considered one of the priority objectives for its devel opment. Since this would contribute to establishing a transparent, reliable trade system, and most importantly, one that meets the global trade requirements, issues on finding markets for Tajikistan’s products and the competitiveness of goods and services produced domestically are discussed and resolved. Several measures have been taken for an effective legislation that is compliant with WTO rules and regulations, as well as for strengthening of the legal framework. A strong national stand ards and legal framework in line with international legal requirements is established in the country, and many activities have been carried out to eliminate the violation of national trade principles, and to ensure more favourable legislation system in the country. 2.5.1.1. The main reasons for joining the WTO are to: − develop institutional bases for regulating foreign economic activities, including policy de sign, and aligning the country’s effective legislation with international legal norms; − improve the investment and business climate; − ensure access to normative legal documents related to foreign economic activities; − establish information and marketing centres; − improve measures for regulating non-tariff foreign trade activities; − improve the management system of foreign economic activities; − strengthen Tajikistan’s participation in global trade. 2.5.1.2. Benefits of membership in the World Trade Organization Membership in the WTO will allow to: − develop entrepreneurship and the investment climate in the country, and strengthen the eco nomic reform process; − obtain better non-discriminatory conditions for placing domestic goods and services on the global market; − create favourable conditions for attracting foreign investment following the amendments to Tajikistan’s legislation to align with WTO rules; − create the proper conditions for increasing the quality and competitiveness of domestic products; − explore trade-related dispute resolution procedures at the international level; − participate in drafting international trading rules by taking national interests into considera tion; − use a system of operating trade information that creates favourable conditions for imple menting trade and economic policy. 33 2.5.2. Tourism development Based on requirements of strategic documents the “Concept of Tourism Development in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2009-2019” and the “State Tourism Development Programme for 2010 2014” are adopted for sustainable tourism development in the country. These documents specify the outlook, development, strategy, priorities, tasks and implementation mechanism of state policy in the tourism sector for a medium-term period. This entails: establishing an effective mechanism of state regulation and support to tourism; developing the marketing strategy to design and further promote national tourism products in domestic and foreign markets; developing the national tourism attractions; and strengthening international cooperation and statistics. The tourism sector has been gradually developing. Promotional and information materials, in cluding tourist maps, postcards of the national landscape, television films and booklets have been produced and disseminated among diplomatic representations of foreign countries, tourist compa nies and international tourism exhibitions. Taking useful measures to advocate and promote Tajikistan’s tourism resources in interna tional exhibitions result in increase of the flow of foreign tourists to the country that can contribute to creating new job places and ensuring national economic development. 2.5.2.1. The main reasons for organizing and developing the tourism sector are to: − create new jobs and opportunities to generate additional income by attracting tourists; − effectively use the country’s unique natural resources; − facilitate the development of other national, traditional economic sectors through develop ment of tourism sector. 2.5.2.2. The challenges in tourism development for the medium term are: − the lack of mutual cooperation in developing bilateral tourist routes with neighbouring coun tries; − the shortage of local personnel to develop attractive programmes for tourism development; − the shortage of promotion materials for developing national tourism sector and shortage of tourism companies in the country; − little attention from the European tourists; − lack of effective system of presentation of promotional material on national tourism in Ta jikistan’s diplomatic representations in foreign countries; − the non-compliance of the tourism statistics with international requirements; − the lack of investment resources for developing tourism infrastructure; − the dilapidated conditions of spectacular locations and other tourism infrastructure; − indeterminate border lines between ordinary lands and specially protected natural areas; − an excessive number of obligatory and additional administrative taxes for entry into special ly protected natural areas; − unclear setting of admission fees for specially protected areas for domestic and foreign tour ists; − the lack of a clear administrative delineation of specially protected natural areas. 2.5.2.3. Recommendations for addressing these challenges − Promote mutual cooperation and develop bilateral tourist routes with neighbouring coun tries. − Train local personnel in order to develop tourism promotion programmes in cooperation with the WTO. − Re-training in recognized international exhibitions in the global tourism markets to strength en Tajikistan’s position. − Organize, develop and disseminate various directories, such as booklets, pictures on sights of the country and tourist companies. 34 − Attract European tourists to the country. − Develop tourism counters in the Tajik embassies abroad for promoting tourism sector. − Provide the country’s diplomatic representations abroad with maps, promotional materials, CDs, and postcards of the main tourist attractions. − Cooperate with the WTO in order to develop resources for collecting and recording tourism statistics that meet the international requirements. − Promote investment projects to develop the tourism infrastructure and restore and maintain tourist attractions. − Determine the border line between ordinary lands and specially protected natural areas. − Additional income generation through tourism development, providing quality services, in cluding guided tours; manufacturing souvenirs; selling domestic souvenir products; renting tents; and creating museums within specially protected natural areas. − Attract an even greater number of tourists to the country’s spectacular locations. − Set standard and fair entry fees to specially protected natural areas for domestic and foreign tourists. 2.5.2.4. Tasks and main strategic and priority measures for 2013-2015 − Create an effective mechanism of state regulation and tourism support. − Improve the marketing strategy to further design and promote national tourism products in domestic and foreign markets. − Develop a plan of concrete actions for eco-tourism advancement. − Train highly qualified and internationally recognized specialists in service-oriented tourists’ guide sectors. − Develop the country’s image as a tourist destination. − Develop international cooperation. − Improve tourism statistics. − Improve legislation to simplify visa and registration procedures. − Facilitate the development of private initiatives in the tourism sector. − Open tourism counters at Tajik embassies in foreign countries. 2.5.2.5. Expected outcomes − With these services and more attractive national tourism products, a sustainable context will facilitate Tajikistan’s access to the global tourism and marketing system. − The tourism industry will become one of the most profitable economic sectors in the country. 2.5.3.Cross-border trade development In recent years, with the Government’s efforts in setting up and opening cross-border trading points, the necessary steps have been taken and works implemented for broadening the scope of economic and trade cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis between Tajikistan and neighbouring countries In the framework of this strategy it is planned to establish the following border trade points: “Qumsangir” in Qumsangir District of Khatlon Province; “Langar” in Ishkoshim District; “Qulma Qarasu” and “Ghunchiboy” in Murghob District of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province; and “Sarghoy” in Jirgatol District. 2.5.3.1. The main reasons for organizing and developing cross-border trade are to: − develop transportation and transit cooperation across separate regions in order to resolve re gional transit problems and overcome communications deadlock issues; − develop cooperation in effectively using water and energy resources as well as hydrocarbon resources; − develop regional trade and take measures for simplifying trade legalization in the region; 35 − develop transportation corridors; − establish an international energy consortium and increaseelectricity transmission to neigh bouring countries by installing power transmission lines. 2.5.3.2. The challenges in establishing and operating border trading points are: − the lack of funds for planning and constructing border trading points; − the lack of a simplified procedure for border and customs inspections in crossing border checkpoints; − the lack of adequate land at border crossing point and customs areas; − the lack of opportunities for producing electricity and communications lines and to install water supply pipes in selected locations; − the lack of a simplified procedure for the entry and exit of foreign citizens to and from Tajik territory; − the lack of a simplified procedure for the import/export of goods and the lack of transporta tion vehicles, supplies and equipment for the populations of border districts for cross-border trade; − border trading points concluded unilaterally by neighbouring countries without mutual coor dination; − limitations in the list and volume of goods assigned for border trade. 2.5.3.3. Recommendations for addressing the current challenges − Explore funding sources for constructing the cross-border trading points. − Allocate land at cross-border checkpoints and customs territory. − Set up primary infrastructure, including power and communications lines and install water supply pipes in selected locations. − Introduce the simplified entry and exit of foreign citizens to and from Tajik territories. − Apply a simplified procedure of border and customs inspection at border checkpoints. − Apply a simplified procedure for importing/exporting goods and transportation vehicles for the residents of border districts for cross-border trade. − Based on a mutual agreement, take measures on further operation of cross-border trading points. 2.5.3.4.Final outcomes from overcoming the current challenges − Economic and trade links based on mutually beneficial interests with neighbouring countries are comprehensively expanded. − Trade, economic, and friendly relations of Tajikistan with neighbouring countries are devel oped and strengthened. − The volume of foreign trade and products turnover in markets, retail sales and paid services are increased. − Entrepreneurs are provided with additional employment opportunities. − Populations living on both sides of the borders are provided with essential commodities. 36 CHAPTER III. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SECTOR: STRENGTHENING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 3.1. The development of the energy, industry and other sectors The current situation of the national energy and industry sectors are being continually dis cussed by the Government as well as analysed and assessed by concerned international organiza tions, and numerous works were completed in this regard. The volume and quality of services pro vision to other production sectors that operate with incomplete capacity due to a lack of electricity have improveddue to the implementation of energy projects, and at the same time access of the population to energy supply services will be improved. At the same time creation of new production capacities under different forms of ownership on full processing of local raw materials with high added value will be continued. 3.1.1. Energy A number of energy projects were implemented by attracting domestic and foreign invest ments based on strategic plans and measures, and effective efforts continue to be pursued towards reconstructing and restoring power stations. During implementation period of the strategy US$723.8 million was invested in the electric power industry, with several priority projects com pleted. Including hydro-electric power station Sangtuda-1, the first hydroelectric power plant, Sang tuda-2, a power transfer line “South-North” with a capacity of 500 kW and a power transfer line “Lolazor-Khatlon” with a capacity of 220 kW, 265 small hydro power plants with a capacity of over 23,287.6kW, and a power transfer line Tajikistan – Afghanistan with a capacity of 220 kW were constructed and launched. At the same time with the aim of reducing energy losses a total of 170,434 analogue metering systems were replaced with electronic ones in Dushanbe, and the use of energy-efficient lamps (99.8 percent) was introduced. Priority hydroelectric projects were implemented, which effectively use water and energy re sources. This provides the country with energy security up to 2016 and lays sustainable foundations for the social and economic development of Tajikistan. Since 2007 to 2012, relevant plans and measures were developed, and efforts are being made to implement them in order to prepare enterprises to use coal and meet national needs for energy re sources. These plans and measures are:theconstruction, restoration, and conversion of equipment, and the adaptation of business facilities for coal use; the implementation of short- and long-term projects for coal use; an increase in the production volumes and continuous provision of coal for in dustrial enterprises; the construction of power transmission lines for ensuring an uninterrupted elec tricity supply to enterprises; expansion of prospecting and exploratory studies in coal mines for de termining the composition of coal and capitalizing on the national oil and gas resources; and the ef fective use of natural raw material reserves while extracting and processing mineral resources. As the prices of oil products in the global markets tend to increase and as formal import pro cedures are becoming more complex and difficult every year, practical measures are being taken annually to increase the extraction and processing of oil and the output of oil products. Cooperation agreements were signed with Russian and Chinese companies aimed at reaching the target of annual 200,000 tonnes of processing oil products in the near future. However, despite these measures, an increased domestic demand for electricity is observed due to development of national economy and high demographic growth rate. The volume of gener ated and consumed power per capita is dropping, as well as the installation of new power lines. 3.1.2. Industry In recent years, national economic development has enjoyed a sustainable trend, and a posi tive industrial development rate has been maintained. Creating new enterprises with up-to-date equipment is going on, and the enterprises that were not working are resuming their operation, and over 8,500 jobs have been created or recovered. 37 The industrial enterprises manufacture over 80 types of products. Out of total manufactured products in 2011 the share of the mining industry is equal to TJS7,868.8 million (or US$1,645.0 bil lion), 12.8%, and the share of the processing industry is equal to 67.2%. The share of power, gas and water supply equals to 20.0 per cent of production volume. The food industry, light industry, electrical power engineering and non-ferrous metallurgy have a relatively higher share of total industrial production volume. Increase in production volumes during 2013-2015 at the rate of 4.4 percent, 6.1 per cent and 5.6 per cent respectively is observed and are being maintained as consumption demand increases. 3.1.3. Construction and geology sectors Construction and geology are considered priority industries of real national economic devel opment, and relevant works were completed to develop them. In 2011, TJS4,988.3 million was invested into fixed, a 105 percent increase over 2010. Also, capital assets amounting to TJ 2,371.5 million from all investment sources were used.In 2011, pri vate housing totalling 799,400m2 was distributed. In 2010, TJS6,556,000 were spent on implementing exploratory and geological surveying in the country, i.e. 21.6 percent of the public budget and bilateral agreements to provide assistant to the country, and 78.4 percent from private resources. Furthermore, 5,777m were drilled mechanical ly and 1,531 m by rotary percussion. 3.1.4. Main strategic aims and priorities of the sector’s development at the national level 3.1.4.1.

Ensure food security:agriculture development, water supply and land use Food security is considered an essential element of national economic security, and improving the supply of population with nutrition is one of the most vital economic and social needs. Together with the provision of energy security and overcoming the communications deadlock, ensuring food security, which depends on a number of economic, social, demographic and environmental factors, is one of the declared priorities of the Government. Food security can be ensured by guaranteeing sustainable agriculture development through the effective use of water and land resources. The level of national food security depends on the basic capacity of its agricultural production and agrarian policy. In order to ensure food security, support should be provided to domestic pro ducers of agricultural goods by implementing the agrarian protectionism strategy. Taking these factors into consideration, the Government is making efforts to ensure national food security within the framework of the main goals of the National Development Strategy and the Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan. A number of institutional measures have been taken to provide food securityto date, including: − The “Law on Food Security” of the Republic of Tajikistan as of 29 December 2010. − The “Food Security Programme of the Republic of Tajikistan up tol 2015” as of 2 February 2009. Additionally, many sectoral programmes were developed and adopted, which will assist in ensuring food security, its further development and improved standards of living. 3.3.1. Main strategic aims and priorities − Improve the normative legal framework for providing food security: improve sustainable economic development, water supply and effective land use. − Implement sectoral and regional programmes aimed at increasing the effectiveness of agri cultural production and the efficient use of water and land resources, and thus ensure food security and improved living standards. − Design and implement the Agricultural Technology Modernization Programme to provide access to the modern agricultural equipment aimed at increasing labour productiveness and resource efficiency in the agricultural sector. − Set up production cooperatives and provide services and sales aimed atthe effective use of resources (land, water, agricultural equipment, human potential); carry out agro-technical measures in a timely manner; and provide veterinarian and agricultural services, water sup plies, etc. − Promote the development of links between agricultural producers and processing enterpris es, aimed at the full processing of agricultural products and at mitigating losses. 43 − Improve the conditions of irrigated agricultural land reclamation aimed at increasing land fertility and providing food security. 3.3.2. Current challenges in the field of food security: development of agriculture, water supply and land use: − Agriculture is negatively affected by the poor state of equipment and technical resources, and the high costs of agricultural equipment, spare parts, fuel, quality seeds, mineral fertiliz ers, pesticides and cattle pedigrees. − There are too many intermediaries between agricultural producers and consumers. − There is a lack of information on product markets and prices. − There is a lack of small enterprises for processing agricultural products locally. − The reclamation condition of lands of agricultural importance is poor. (salinization , wind erosion, increased level of underground waters). − Water-pumping stations are dilapidated and there is lack of access to water for irrigating lands for all producers because of ineffective use of water for irrigation. 3.3.3.Recommendations for addressing challenges in the field of food security: development of agriculture, water supply and land use for 2013-2015 − Provide comprehensive support to processing companies in order to manufacture more agri cultural products. − Attract higher investments in order to improve agricultural equipment and technical condi tions, as well as agricultural land reclamation and improve management of water resources. − Attract more investments for repairing pumping stations, bringing arable land and non-used land into agricultural cultivation, and purchase of technics and equipment for land reclama tion and water resources sector; − Establish cooperatives on processing and trading products in local areas to reduce loss of products and to create new job place on this basis; − Reduce level of land erosion. 3.3.4. Tasks, main strategic measures and priorities in the field of food security: develop ment of agriculture, water supply and land use to be implemented in 2013-2015 − Continue agricultural reform, including institutional reform of the Ministry of Agriculture. − Improve the livestock farming system for livestock maintenance and breeding, processing and selling livestock products. − Provide favourable conditions for farmers to freely grow any crop and to freely choose any market and any partner. − Implement an Action Plan to accelerate Tajikistan’s joining the WTO. − Taking measures to bring arable land and non-used land into agricultural cultivation, to open new irrigation land using centralized funds in order to create new job places in rural areas and consequently improve population welfare, implementing effective measures on protec tion of facilities of national economy from natural disasters, including flood, and measures to improve material and technical resources of organizations of land reclamation and water recourses; − Improve the state of irrigated agricultural land reclamation, implementation of bank fortifi cation works, and the rehabilitation of high-pressure pipes in water-pumping stations. − Take the necessary measures to explore new irrigated lands. − Implement investment projects Ferghana Valley’s water resources management, Manage ment of flood risks in Khatlon Province and Irrigation of Danghara Valley’s land areascov ering 1,750 ha (Phase2). 44 3.3.5. Expected outcomes in the field of food security: development of agriculture, water supply and land use by 2015: − Based on implementing adopted sectoral programmes, there is improved soil fertility and in creased manufacturing of agricultural products and thus ensured food security. − With the aim of providing the country’s consumer market with domestic products, concrete actions are implemented to improve the effectiveness of livestock and poultry farming sec tors, and during the next three years, population is provided with meat and milk produced domestically. − The necessary actions are taken for effective use of lands and practise double cropping on ir rigated lands by using quality seeds, thus assist in ensuring food security in the country. − 1500 hectares of newly irrigated land opened at the expense of centralised funds with the aim of increasing productivity of agricultural products and creating new job places in rural areas and thus reduce poverty. − In cooperation with other relevant ministries and agencies as well as the local authorities, immediate actions are taken to restore poultry-farming enterprises and increase feed produc tion for domestic cattle-breeding, poultry-farming and fish farming. − Useful actions are taken to set up direct cooperation with investors for the implementation of priority projects in a timely and qualitative manner by allocating public funds and financial resources of international organizations. − The reclamation state of irrigated agricultural lands of the Tajikistan covering at least 30,0000 ha is improved. − Jointly with the executive government authorities of the provinces, cities and districts as well as concerned ministries and agencies, the national economic facilities are protected from natural disasters and floods, and riverbank reinforcement works are completed in an area of 84.3 km along Tajik rivers. − Actions are implemented for restoring high-pressure pipes in water-pumping stations of the Ministry of Land Reclamation and Water Resources, including the restoration of 9,957.3m of high-pressure pipes, thus improving the provision of irrigation water to 22,898 ha of land. − Water-pumping stations are repaired and restored, resulting in the conversion of non agricultural to agricultural lands. 45 CHAPTER 4. THE SOCIAL SECTOR: ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENTOF HUMAN POTENTIAL 4.1. Strengthening social protection and creating employment The strengthening of social protection and social insurance, the creation of employment as well as the implementation of a set of actions are specified in the National Development Strategy. This will facilitate the implementation of constitutional guarantees of Tajik citizens. By implement ing these actions, it would be possible to address issues such as social protection from unemploy ment, price increases in the consumer market, devaluation of incomes, and other crises that can have a negative impact on the populations’ standards of living. In strategies adopted by the Gov ernment, there are social protection measures that directly influence the standard of liv ing:employment, social insurance, pensions and home assistance. Through the implementation of state employment programmes and state policy on labour mi gration, efforts are being made to reduce tension in the labour market. Over 451,000 new jobs were created in national economic sectors during 2009-2011. Labour migration is one of the common ways to find employment, and remittances serve as aa additional source of improving standards of living. In 2011, remittances grew to US$3,015,200, which was 1.7 times higher than the national budget expenditure. Bearing in mind the annual population growth of over 2 to 2.5 percent, the size of the work force increases rapidly, and today’s domestic labour market is unable to provide employment for all. Therefore, there is a need to take additional actions to create the favourable conditions for achieving full employment and providing social support to unemployed citizens. In order to ensure transparency in the labour market and thus create new jobs, the private sec tor and entrepreneurship should be supported, national crafts industry and self-employment oppor tunities developed, and seasonal employment and manpower skills that respond to labour market requirements should be expanded. In addition, the employment of the active workforce abroad re quires the identification of the remaining labour resources in the country. Legal frameworks are also developed for social insurance, which specify pension payments, allowances and the provision of services related to pension and unemployment services. However, workers’ social insurance against accidents is not applied in effective legislation. According to the indicators of the official statistical reports, as of 1 January 2012, there were a total of 591,956 pensioners in Tajikistan, which increased by 37,971 over this same period of 2009. The average pension was TJS152.30 [in 2012?], which increased by 61.59 somonis over 2009. In order to improve social protection through the application of Tajikistan’s Law on the Min imum Subsistence Level, it is necessary that the minimum salary, pension, allowances and other so cial payments gradually meet the living wage indicator drafted in by-laws and legislation. The following issues can be resolved by applying the provisions of Tajikistan’s Law on the Minimum Subsistence Level and the Law on State Social Standards: − the minimum salary in line with the minimum cost of living; − payment of the salaries of budget sector employees. − annual increase in the average salary and annual increase in the minimum wages should be no less than 20 percent. 4.1.1.Main strategic measures and priorities of the Strengthening social protection and cre ating employment sector The goals and objectives of the “National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan up to 2015” and the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” address priority social and economic issues. Once resolved, a decent standard of living should be provided for citizens as well as quality social assistance. In order to achieve these goals, the country’s priori ties and challenges, including employment, social insurance, pension and home assistance, are specified in the Action Strategy for 2013-2015. Since employment creation is currently one of the 46 national strategic priorities and one of the most important ones for improving standards of living, this Strategy focus in particular on this issue. The high demographic growth rate and the annual flow of enormous remittancesmake it difficult to provide jobs to the active population. At the same time, resolving it is essential to increase the level of professionalism and quality of labour re sources. 4.1.2. Some issues in this Strategy still need to be resolved due to their long-term nature, in cluding: − the incomplete management and financial mechanism of the social sector; − the lack of contemporary methodology and mechanisms for collection, processing and sub mission of sectoral statistical information; − the limited funding sources and incomplete normative legal framework for social protection; − the insufficient amount of social allowances and services, and the lack of social service standards; − the unfavourable conditions for the organization and development of alternative infrastruc ture for providing social services with state-of-the-art implementation mechanisms ; − lack of effective policy to prevent social risks; − the violation of social justice due to the incompleteness of the social insurance system; − the limited human resources within the state bodies responsible for addressing employment issues; − the low quality and non-competitiveness of the labour resources in the labour market; − the lack of mechanisms for providing pension and for protecting labour migrants‘ health and civil rights. 4.1.3.In order to improve standards of living, provide quality targeted home assistance and address the current issues of social protection, the following tasks are specified, pursuant to the goals and priorities of the National Development Strategy and the Living Standards Improvement Strategy: 4.1.3.1. Improving the procedures for managingsocial protection and social services through the following measures: − Restore and strengthen the material and technical resources of institutions that provide social services to the population. − Improve the mechanism for providing social services for groups of vulnerable populations. − Improve and revise the structure and authority of the Ministry of Labour and Population’s Social Protection by developing and implementing fundamental medium-term actions (2013-2015). − Develop a package for providing alternative services, in cooperation with donors and NGOs. − Continue efforts towards establishing a single, multi-level management system for protect ing children’s rights aimed at eliminating and the causes of and obstacles to child poverty reduction. Improving the system for managingsocial protection is based on the development and imple mentation of reform as well as the Strategy for the Development of the State Social Protection Sys tem. The Strategy specifies strategic goal and directions of the state social policy and facilitates the creation of the real conditions for safeguarding citizens’ rights to social protection. 4.1.3.2. In order to provide conditions for vulnerable people’s access to resources and to pro vide them with opportunities to escape poverty by developing financial self-sufficiency, the following activities must be carried out: 4.1.3.2. (1) Labour and wages − An association of employers will be established in view of improving the role of social part ners in addressing problems associated with labour and social protection, Here, authorized 47 partners of the executive government and trade unions shall act under a tripartism system. The development of partnerships in this system will allow to protect the social interests of partners as well as resolve issues on labour andsocial protection. − Take measures to use approaches and methods of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for introducing progressive international experience on issues of labour protection and conditions. − Reform salary payments to civil servants as well as of education and health sector workers in addition to related actions within the framework of the foreseen Salary Concept; the se cond phase of this reform shall be effective up to 2015. − Accelerate the regulation of social and labour relations by using of norms and provisions as well as social partnership approaches and methods. − Develop and implement an effective salary indexation mechanism, which will allow the budget to be consistent with salary increases. − Increase annual salaries and living wages. − Take actions to implement policy aimed at the gradual elimination of the worst forms of use of child labour. − Strengthen the normative legal, organizational as well as material and technical framework of the State Inspection Service on Labour, Employment and Population’s Social Protection, in particular, change the behaviour of employers who do not comply with requirements of labour legislation and labour protection. − Develop a system of increasing the minimum salary by linking it to thenational economic indicators as well as considering the inflation rate. − Resolve the problem of debt concerning salary payments. 4.1.3.2. (2) Regulation of the labour market, facilitating job creation, and the provision of un employment benefits − Introduce an effective mechanism for implementing state policy to provide employment, and regulate the labour market and labour migration. − Institutionally develop authorized bodies, improve the normative legal frameworks, improve vocational training and regulate the system of export of labour resources abroad. − Involve the private sector in developing programmes to provide employment and organize new labour markets. − Improve the quality of vocational training and implement educational programmes to pro vide the unemployed with new skills and refresh existing skills. − Equip state bodies responsible for employment using modern information facilities; provide regular training; conduct research and monitoring on the labour market; and improve the da tabases of labour market indicators. − Assist in addressingvulnerable employmentin the labour market by creating special jobs (quotas) and providing vocational and advanced training and re-training. − Expand activities to develop a technology module fortraining of adults. 4.1.3.2.(3). Provision of favourable conditions for permanent employment of young genera tion: − train and prepare young people for developing competitiveness in relation to contrasts of the current society through establishing centers for youth development in cities and disitricts; − develop opportunities for healthy life-style of coung generation of the country through ex panding the network of sport and physical training service. 4.1.3.3.Development of reforming system Strengthening the reform of the social insurance and pension − Improve the effectiveness of the social insurance management through the computerized registration of insured people and beneficiaries of social insurance payments. 48 − Automate the process of assigning pensions and improve insurance. − Explore new ways of covering labour migrants with social insurance. − Prevent and eliminate the causes and conditions for debt to the state while reimbursing so cial tax and payments to insured people. − Improve the registration system of individualized payments for providing pension of entre preneurs registered as natural persons. − Re-distribute social insurance payments among employees and employers. − Improvevoluntary access to the pension system of all persons concerned, including labour migrants. Implementing actions to improve the social insurance system and pension reform will assist in gradual establishing of multi-level pension system based on pension insurance principles. 4.1.3.4. Pursuing efforts to reform the provision of social assistance, facilitating the creation of employment, providing incentives for the active population, improving the business climate, and establishing an accessible labour market through the implementation of the goals of the State Strategy for Labour Market Development in Tajikistan up to 2020 − Improve and develop the relevant regulatory legal and legislative framework for establishing a viable mechanism for all entities of the state social insurance system. − Review the system of privileges and priorities, and their classification, specify the sources of funding, and reduce the volume of improperly used limited financial resources. − In cooperation with NGOs and civil society representatives, expand and further implement new forms and methods of social services provision by developing a network of institutions at the local and jamoat levels of self-governance. − Introduce new and state-of-the-art forms and methods for providing social services, further improving the principles of targeted provision of social services to children who depend on priority community and family services. − Design the Concept of Social Services Development taking into consideration coverage is sues related to the purpose, content, size and minimum standards of provision of social ser vices as well as to the competences and responsibilities regarding child care, including budgetary support to protect children’s rights. − Develop and implement a national monitoring system of the population’s well-being. − Strengthen the normative legal framework for establishing the social standards system and commission a needs assessment for providing services according to targeted method. − Update the programmes for providing social services within the cities and districts, taking into account the need to change the direction of the financial flow and implement a regular, quality control system of social services provision. − Strengthen information campaigns and awareness-raising advocacy aimed at enhancing the legal culture of citizens and their awareness on modes and methods of accessing targeted so cial aid. 4.1.4. The implementation of social protection activities specified in this Strategy in the me dium term (2013–2015) would result in: − improving the effectiveness of administering the monetary resources of the state social in surance and the pension system in general; − increasing the number of insured people following the state social insurance system as well as the number of institutions concerned; − improving social infrastructures responsible for providing privileges, and providing services and social assistance based on a targeted method and the principle of operation of “single window” system; − reducing unemployment, improving the competitiveness of labour resources and increasing the population’s monetary income; 49 − strengthening the management of labour protection and improving working conditions, preventing accidents at work and occupational illness, and laying the foundations for labour productivity; − reducing poverty to 10 percent. Implementation of these actions depends on efforts to maintain a sustainable macro-economic environment as an important precondition for job provision. The demographic outlook for 2020 shows that the active population will increase over 28.4 percent from 2009. This requires expanding the labour-intensive sectors and establishing new sectors in the economy. 4.2. Development of science and education sectors Ensuring sustainable economic development, rationally using material and intellectual re sources, developing effective forms of public administration, implementing the country’s strategic goals for improving the standards of living of population and introducing national values all depend on developing human potential. In order to achieve these goals, the Government considers science and education as a vitally important national economic sector. In addition,normative legal frame works are being developed and implemented to accelerate the reform process. However, the weak institutional reform process and the inadequate use of available intellectu al financial resources make it difficult to rehabilitate the science and education sectors, capitalize on science and technology achievements, achieve equal access to education, improve the quality of ed ucation and training in all stages of education, and provide economic sectors with qualified special ists who meet the labour market requirements. Although public expenditure for the development of science and education enjoys an annual growth trend, it is not sufficient when compared to their realistic requirements. In 2011, 0.1 and 4.5 percent of the GDP was dedicated to the development of science and ed ucation, respectively. Analyses show that, in order to minimally satisfy the needs to maintain and develop the sci ence and education sector, and taking into consideration the demographic factor, the annual share of GDP should be 3 percent for science and5-5.5 percent for education by 2015. 4.2.1.Science Within the context of integrated cooperation with the global community, which develops and applies scientific and technical as well as state-of-the-art technological innovations in all activity areas, developing a healthy and creative society is the main prerequisite for sustainable economic development and improving standards of living. The “Law on Innovative Activities” of the Republic of Tajikistan and the“Innovative Devel opment Programme of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2011-2020” are adopted and being implement ed, which aim at stimulating scientific, technological and innovative activities, and developing the normative legal and infrastructural framework for innovative activities. In order to apply more scientific achievements to production and to align priority scientific re search with the national economic development goals, taking into consideration the indicators in the “Strategy on Science and Education of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2007-2015” and the “Innova tive Development Programme of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2011-2020”, studies are being car ried out in national research institutions of vital importance. Research topics include: electric power engineering; the use of water resources; the processing of aluminium; the monitoring of seismic ac tivity; technologies for processing cotton and other agricultural raw materials; The national scientific potential is consolidated in 87 scientific institutions, including the Academy of Science, the Tajikistan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Tajikistan Education Academy, the Tajikistan Academy of Medical Sciences, and national institutes of higher education. 4.2.1.1. Main strategic directions and priorities of science sector In the framework of this Strategy, the country’s scientific potential is focused on the follow ing main priorities:improving the efficiency of scientific and research projects, developing scien tific innovation, and increasing the role of science in addressing the social and economic issues. 50 4.2.1.2. An analysis of the science sector shows that it faces the following basic challenges: − There is limited involvement of science sector in the development of national science and technology programmes aimed at resolving important social and economic development problems. − There is relatively little research on the applied sciences (engineering, natural sciences, nan otechnology, biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology) and the nature of other research subjects is not competitive withmodern science and technology achievements. − The financial resources earmarked for science development are inadequate; there is a lack of administering funds for innovation; and non-significance of the activities of the scientific in stitutions in attracting non-budget funds. − There are insufficient material and technical supplies and equipment for the science sector, particularly, a low level of ICT and innovative infrastructure. − There is a shortage of skilled professionals to meet today’s requirements. − There is an insufficient level of international cooperation in science and technology. 4.2.1.3. Taking into consideration the goals of the Living Standards Improvement Strategy, the priorities of the National Development Strategy, as well as the current challenges in the science sector, this Strategy’s objectives include the following: 4.2.1.3.1. Improving the normative legal framework to facilitate a shift towardsscientific in novation To achieve this, it is necessary to improve the normative legal framework aimed at the further development of science and the implementation of technologies. First, actions related to scientific reform in line with the “Strategy on Science and Technology of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2011 2015” should be carried out, and normative by-laws prepared to advance innovative activities with in the framework of the “Innovative Development Programme of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2011-2020”. These actions would facilitate the integration of academic and applied sciences as well as institutes of higher education, introduce more scientific achievements into production, facilitate a shift towards scientific innovation and provide incentives to scientists to achieve results. 4.2.1.3.2. Centralizing scientific competence and reallocating financial resources to priority research areas that contribute to national economic development − Practical concerns should be considered as well as bids and tenders for funding scientific and innovative projects and programmes. In order to effectively use financial resources, the number of scientific-research topics should be reduced in the future, and more funds should be allocated to the projects with an economic impact. Presently, over 350 topics are being investigated throughout the national scientific-research institutes that are not in line with the modern science and technology achievements. Furthermore, feasible scientific recommenda tions are needed to prevent the negative impacts of changes in the global economy. − The effectiveness of scientific investigations in natural and engineering sciences should be improved, and effective ways of applying science and technology findings into production should be explored. − In the agricultural sciences, new productive agricultural breeds should be selected, and bio technology methods, innovative technologies in immunology, biochemistry and genetics, and biological methods for pest control should be applied; water resources should be used rationally for a more practical application to contribute toto ensuring food security in the country. − Creating favourable conditions for the science sector and attracting non-budget funds. As occurs in developed countries, up to 50 percent of financial resources should be allocated to carrying out scientific research and experimental activities for the effective use of funds. In cooperation with production entities, scientific-research institutions should implement more ad hoc projects. 51 4.2.1.3.3. Improving the material and technical resources of the science sector The need has arisen to re-equip institutions, develop the information base in the science sector, and use the Internet through the deployment of state-of-the-art ICT.ICT centres should be established to strengthen the material and technical resources of scientific institutions and a modern scientific in frastructure shuld be set up. These issues should then be resolved through the implementation of this Strategy. The scope of activities performed in technology parks shuld be expanded, starting from the national institutes of professional higher education to the production process. This is necessary for strengthening the material and technical, as well as scientific and innovative foundations. 4.2.1.3.4. Training highly qualified staffon the basis of international science and technology Necessary actions are being taken to implement “Tajikistan’s Programme of Preparing Quali fied Staff for 2009-2015”, approved by Government Decision No. 296 of 2 July 2008. This aims to improve and modernize the system for preparing highly specialized individuals and creating scien tific capacity to resolve the country’s most important scientific and technological issues. Also, the necessary actions will be taken to integrate academic and applied sciences with the scientific capacity of institutes of higher education and to improve the system for preparing highly qualified science students in post-graduate courses and doctoral programmes in foreign scientific institutions. 4.2.1.4. The expected outcomes It is expected that the implementation of the above actions in the science sector within the framework of the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” will create the normative legal framework for the further development of science and technology. In addition, scientific and innovative achievements will be applied to a greater extent in the national economy. Moreover, more funds will be earmarked for scientific and innovative projects and programmes, and scientific-research institutions will be connected to the Internet through the latest ICT and pro vided with highly qualified scientists. 4.2.2. Education In order to achieve the goals of the National Development Strategy, the Living Standards Im provement Strategy, and the “National Strategy for Education Development in the Republic of Tajiki stan up to 2020”, the Government has declare education a valuable and vital sector. It is one of the priorities of the national social policy, which contributes to the enhancement and rational use of mate rial and intellectual resources, the development of society’s creative potential, and ensures sustainable economic development and safe and decent living conditions of citizens. The transition to new eco nomic relations has contributed to the development and reform of the education sector. In this context, a number of changes were implemented in the education system: the material and technical resources of educational institutions have been strengthened and favourable conditions created to improve the education sector. A number of normative legal documents were adopted during the effective strategy implementation period, which specified the state policy on the education sector. The state policy was primarily directed at renewing the education sector, ensuring equal access to education, resolving gender issues, improving the quality of education, and eliminating poverty through improved literacy. The education management system in Tajikistan includes pre-school education institutions, secondary comprehensive education, supplementary education institutions (out-of-school learning), primary and secondary vocational education institutions (gymnasium, lyceum, colleges and tech nical school), and institutes of higher professional and post-graduate education. Since non-state actors are not greatly involved in the education sector, the state plays a vital role. 4.2.2.1. Main strategic direction and priorities set at the national level 4.2.2.1.1.Revise the content of the educational curricula, especially in pre-school, secondary, primary and secondary vocational levels, teachers’ advanced training (taking into consideration the changes in age of education coverage, vocational training, skills building, etc.). 52 4.2.2.1.2. Re-structure of the systems in the education sector as well as the organizational and economic mechanisms: establish and develop new forms of pre-school education institutions and vocational centres; provide more choices of occupations, re-training, advanced training; and use new forms of funding for pre-school, vocational and other institutions. 4.2.2.1.3. Ensure equality in access to quality education (provision of textbooks, electronic fa cilities, the implementation of actions to support the representatives of national minorities and schoolchildren with disabilities, and the use of ICT and distance education methods in vocational education, modular education programmes, etc.). 4.2.2.2. These main challenges emerge from an analysis of the education sector: − There is a need for teaching personnel and incomplete procedures for preparing the teaching staff. − The infrastructure of pre-school education is outdated. − The educational materials are outdated and dilapidated, particularly in institutions of prima ry and secondary vocational education. − Children from poor families and vulnerable groups of the population have difficulty in ac cessing education. − There are inadequate incentives for attracting girls to secondary comprehensive education. − There is a limited involvement of the public in managing secondary comprehensive schools. − There is insufficient funding for the education sector (low wages, shortage of funds to cover operational costs, utilities and other expenditures). 4.2.2.3.The sector’s tasks, main and priority measures in the framework of implementation of this Strategy: 4.2.2.3.(1) Revising the content of the educational curricula − Develop and apply standards for subjects in universal education (primary, 9 years and com prehensive education) as well as educational plans and programmes, and relevant teaching techniques and textbooks. − Develop new textbooks and training facilities, and educational techniques in compliance with the changing content of education in order to increase access to education at all levels. − Develop and publish teaching and methodological materials , and adapt and translate text books into the state language and languages of national minorities. − Apply new education technologies aimed at developing competences. 4.2.2.3.(2) Develop the material and technical infrastructures and facilities − Construct and restore pre-school education buildings and facilities. − Construct new schools, rehabilitate schools under risk of collapse, finish incomplete build ings, and expand the operational schools to increase the number of students. − Repair and restore the infrastructure of special education institutions, and gradually install solar batteries. − Construct new buildings and restore operational buildings in the primary vocational educa tion system, and strengthen their material and technical framework. − Scale up the use of ICT in educational curricula as well as for the management of the educa tion sector. 4.2.2.3.(3) Capacity building − Revise the educational system to include pedagogical specializations and introduce training in integrated specializations. − Improve the social and economic conditions of teachers. − Scale up the use of ICT in education. 53 − Introduce new teaching specialized programmes such as teaching-psychology, teaching speech pathology, special education and industrial training. − Harmonize teaching standards with new general education priorities and technologies. − Restructure the system of advanced training for teachers by converting it into individual reg istration and funding, and organize modular programmes. − Develop and implement the mechanisms of applying credit and the modular system of ad vanced training for teachers. 4.2.2.3.(4) Capitalizing on new financial mechanisms − Convert to a standard per capita funding for students at all levels of education level. − Introduce funding from different sources, including joint public-private funding. − Issue a state decree for preparing teaching staff and their placement based on competition. − Promote enterprises that provide assistance to educational institutions and entities that enjoy all forms of property ownership. − Stimulate the private sector for the development of education at all levels. 4.2.2.4. Expected outcomes by 2015 As a result of implementation of the planned measures, it is expected that coverage of pre school children with educational programmes, ensuring equal access of young children to educa tion, will be improved, and children from poor families and children with limited opportunities sup ported by the state. In addition, the professional capacity of educators and teaching staff of pre school institutions will be improved. A new education system is being developed and educational content revised, which will contribute to developing and applying new subject standards and curric ula. Furthermore, teaching techniques, textbooks and school children’s vocational education will be improved and schools provided with necessary equipment. As part of implementing actions, an ef fective network of capacity building of teaching staff will be developed in line with vocational edu cation standards by using ICT in the education and management process. This would aim at align ing the primary vocational education with labour market requirements. Also, the conditions will be created for expanding opportunities of accepting students into primary vocational education institu tions. The management system of the education sector will be improved with the aim of revising the education system and applying radical changes to its structure and content. In addition, the norma tive and methodological foundations will be reviewed as well as the infrastructure of national quali ty assurance system in education, licensing norms and provisions of warrants, and information and management system of the education sector. 4.3. Health care development and ensured improvement in health care Health care is one of the State’s strategic objectives. The Government aims to:improve the quality and efficiency of health services services; prevent infectious diseases; protect maternal and infantile health as well as their environment; promote healthy lifestyles; and resolve other relevant problems of the sector. The following measures were adopted during the implementation period of the previously adopted Strategies:regulatory legislation on family medicine; medical insurance; the “National Strategy on the Population’s Health for 2010-2020”; “the Strategic Plan for the Restoration of Health Care Institutions for 2011-2020”; the “National Programme to Prevent Professional Diseases for 2010-2015”; and similar legislation of national importance. The aim is to strengthen the state policy on health care, which will contribute to restoring and improving the healthcare sector’s struc ture, increasing the number of primary medical aid services, and regulating the provision of healthcare services and social protection, particularly the State Programme to Ensure the Provision of Poor Families with Medical Assistance. Moreover, state provisions were implemented to improve the current state of the sector’s funding and to expand alternative forms of providing medical services. 54 However, pari passu with positive outcomes in the health care sector, there are challenges that impede the effectiveness of medical services, their accessibility, and their ability to respond the population’s needs. These include:the low level of funding allocated to the sector (2 percent of the GDP and 6.9 percent of the national budget); the incomplete mechanism for managing material and financial resources; the low qualifications level; low wages; the shortage of medical personnel; the few health care institutions only that are provided with modern medical equipment; and the current state of buildings and facilities. Funding should be not less than 9-10 per cent of the GDP to satisfy the requirements of health care institutions at the level of developed countries. At the same time, due to numerous administrative barriers and insufficient state support, the network of private health care institutions is poorly evolving, yet they could support some of the government’s responsibilities in providing medical services. 4.3.1. The priorities of the sector’s development are long-term, as specified in this Strategy: − Improve the quality, access and provision of effective health services to the population. − Reduce infant and maternal mortality. − Reduce the level of non-infectious diseases, and prevent and fight against infectious diseases such asHuman Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), tuberculosis and infectious diseases controlled by vaccination. − Facilitate private health sector development and improve the material and technical re sources as well as health care staff capacity. 4.3.2. Main challenges in the health care system within the framework of implementing the Living Standards Improvement Strategy − The incomplete management mechanism for the sector is incapable of providing health care services to the population and of effectively and adequately utilizing material and human re sources. − Funding sources are limited and their use is economically ineffective. − There are limited possibilities for the private sector to provide health services. − There is an unbalanced budgetary allocation to the health care sector in the regions. − Advocacy activities are inadequate with respect to the fundamantals of promoting healthy lifestyles, including support to reproductive health, the protection of mothers and infants, and prevention of the spread of infectious diseases. − There are increased indicators of unofficial expenditures incurred by the population com pared to general expenditures of health sector (67 percent). 4.3.3. Considering the priorities set in the National Development Strategy and current chal lenges in the health sector, the strategic tasks specified within the framework of implement ing the Living Standards Improvement Strategyare as follows: 4.3.3.1.Increasing effectiveness of management system and increasing funding of the sector A series of actions are foreseen to improve the effectiveness of the sector’s management and funding. These actions aim to:develop national budget indicators based on specifying sectoral prior ities; improve the programme of state guarantees; transition to a comprehensive per capita funding scheme for first aid services provision; introduce new funding mechanisms in institutions that pro vide hospitalization services; and attract additional resources.Through the implementation of these actions, the effectiveness and transparency in the use of state resources will be enhanced, financial resources distributed by taking into consideration registered individuals in medical and preventive treatment facilities and regional/local specificities, an opportunities will be created to redistribute economized resources to improve activities. 4.3.3.2. Improving infant and maternal health The following actions should be carried out to effectively improve the protection of infant and maternal health, a highly important objective in the health care sector 55 − Enhance the professional specialization of health care workers and improve material, tech nical and medicinal provision of first aid services, which is needed to ensure maternal care. − Develop and implement policies on mothers’ health and obstetric assistance at all levels of medical services provision. − Carry out informational and educational campaigns on the issues of mothers’ health. − Provide midwifery and neonatal assistance. − Organize public dialogue on reproductive health issues (including youth and women repro ductive health), reproductive rights, and family planning. − Develop and implement standards and policies for assessing the quality of the provision of family planning services. 4.3.3.3. Providing health care institutions with qualified healthcareworkers Provide health care institutions with qualified health care workers by: strengthening education and re-training the health care workforce; preparing physicians and nurses of family medicine dur ing the periodof pre-diploma, post-diploma and continued education of the health care workforce, assessment and review; integrating nationally important instructional planning into all educational programme curricula; and improving the policy on planning and managing personnel education and development, all of which will help eliminate the geographic and organizational imbalance and pre vent a shortage of separate specialists. 4.3.3.4. Fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases Fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases is a daily healthcare objective that requires taking immediate and prompt actions. Such actions focus on:raising the pop ulation’s awareness on the prevention of infectious diseases; improving the sanitary and epidemio logical control system of helminthiasis diseases and diseases controllable by vaccination; strength ening the activities of centres that relate to advocacy and the implementation of healthy lifestyle promotion programme. In addition, knowledge will be strengthened of specialists working in cen tres to fight against tropical diseases and of parasitology departments of the Sanitary and Hygienic Inspection Service to prevent helmithiasis and cover the population exposed to infections by apply ing new highly effective vaccines. 4.3.3.5. Increasing the role of private health care institutions in health services This is one of the priorities of the health care sector because, together with public health care institutions, private medicine can perform numerous diagnostic and treatment actions and resolve problems faced by the public health care institutions. The development of private medicine creates healthy competition in the sector and contributes to: improving the level of provision of health care services; establishing new jobs; contributing to the state budget; and importing modern technologies for state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment. For development of private medicine the Government will take measures to remove administrative barriers. The private medical system is an integral part of the provision of health care services. It effec tively perform duties and resolves issues that limit health care at the national and international levels. 4.3.4. Expected outcomes Carrying out measures that focus on improving material and technical resources of the health sector, constructing or rebuilding preventive medicine institutions provided with modern diagnostic equipment, and procuring consumables and immunobiological product, as well as necessary educa tional and medical equipment allow to reduce the level of infectious diseases by 2015 and eliminate someinfections that are controllable by vaccination. 4.4. Provide the population with clean water and utilities services Clean water and utility services being efficient human development tools improve opportuni ties and self-consciousness of different strata of population, and assisits in improving effective nesshealth system, and improvement of population welfare. 56 The “Concept of the Housing and Utilities Services Reform for 2010-2025” was developed and adopted. The “Programme for Developing Housing and Communal Services in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2013-2017” will bedesigned with the aim of implementing the requirements of the aforementioned Concept. According to an assessment conducted by the Housing and Utilities Services (SUE), the popu lation’s access to housing and communal services will be ensured with the following indica tors:centralized water supply services will be provided to 87.3 percent of the urban population, 61.5 percent of the populations of townships and district centres, and 43.4 percent of the rural popula tion; sewage system services are accessible to 80.0 percent of the urban population, 18.2 percent of the population of townships, and 0.2 percent of the rural population. Access to centralized services for the collection and disposal of daily solid waste is provided to 85.6 percent of the urban popula tion, 67.3 per cent of the population of townships, and 3.6 percent of the rural population. 4.4.1. Main strategic directions and priorities in providing population with clean water and utility services − Develop and adopt minimum standards of providing state-guaranteed clean drinking water and communal services. − Develop and adopt a “Law on the Right to Clean Water and Communal Services”. − It is necessary to oblige local governments and self-governance authorities in town settle ments and rural areas to ensure the highest level of clean water and highest quality sewage system in local areas. − The civil society should be involved in addressing the problems of clean water provision and the sewerage system. 4.4.2. Challenges of the sector According to the SUE assessment, most of the sector’s network and facilities are exhausted. In urban areas, 68.0 percent of water supply networks are operational, 7 percent are partly opera tional, and 25 percent are inoperable. In rural areas, these indicators make up 40 percent, 44 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Most of the facilities and equipment need to be rebuilt. Over 70 per cent of the country’s townships lack a sewage system, and it poses a serious threat to public health, and in most cases causes an outbreak of epidemiological diseases and pollutes the environment. The development of alternative forms to manage housing facilities is proceeding slowly. Only 130 companies have been established from 2009 to date, following the adoption of the Law on Maintaining Multi-storied Buildings and Condominium Companies, which represents less than 5 percent out of the total number of residents of multi-storied buildings. 4.4.3. Recommendations to address challenges in providing the population with clean water and provision of communal services − Attract investments to housing and communal service enterprises by making them joint stock companies. In the first phase, the Government can have 25 percent of shares plus one. − Installation of water metering equipment for all water users. Gradual review of tariffs for water users. − Reconstruction of conduits, internal water supply networks and sewerage systems. − Provide the sector with knowledgeable and professional specialists, organize re-training courses and increase the knowledge of leaders and engineers, as well as technical personnel of water supply and sewage systems. 4.4.4. Main (strategic) and priority tasks and actions in providing population with clean wa ter, sanitation and provision of communal services that will be implemented in 2013-2015: − Reconstruct and develop engineering and communal infrastructure of cities and townships. − Ensure implementation of “Programme on Supplying Population of the Republic of Tajiki stan with Clean Drinking Water for 2008-2020” and Action Plan of the 10-year International Action “Water for Life” for 2005 – 2015. 57 − Organize favourable conditions to attract private investments, ensure state support for the development of housing and communal services, and improve the sector’s technical capaci ty. − Apply a series of actions to break up the monopoly of the sector, organize service markets and develop competitiveness through attracting small- and medium-scale enterprises. − Improve the social protection system, regulate thesystem of provision of privileges, and strengthen the targeted use of funds; − Increase the institutional capacity of the sector and increase consumption of housing and communal services. 4.4.5.Expected outcomes by 2015 in providing population with clean water, sanitation and provision of communal services: − reform in sector’s management system commissioned and its normative legal framework or ganized. − improvedhousing and communal services for population. − the output of engineering systems is more efficient and more reliable, and is restored(for safe use) and life and housing facilities improved. − actions are implemented to update management and develop competition, regulate tariffs, develop market relations and draft contractual agreements on the provision of housing and communal services. − mechanisms are set up for attracting non-budget funds to develop and reform housing and communal services. − conditions are created for effective operations of housing and communal services that are fi nancially robust, reducing material expenditures and improve accountability for the quality of services. 4.5. Ensure environmental stability and sustainable development One of the main objectives underlying today’s government policy is to:reduce poverty based on the effective use of the natural resources; resolve environmental issues; and ensure environmen tal stability, all of which will lead to sustainable development. Accordingly, actions are regularly taken, and sectoral legal normative documents on environ mental security and protection issues are being regularly adopted that assist in resolving current challenges of the sector. Nevertheless, environmental stability and its sustainable development are still not being en sured, and the issue related to environmental stability persist. 4.5.1. Main strategic development goals and priorities in ensuring environmental stability and sustainable development − Improve legislation as well as by-laws to ensure environmental stability and sustainable de velopment, and on the protection of atmospheric air, water and land, which comply with in ternationally agreed requirements and standards. − Organize and manage the processing of domestic and industrial waste, and apply modern technologies for processing wastes and low-waste technologies. − Mitigate deforestation and restore forests that were cut as a result of the 2007-2008 energy crisis. − Design and implement sectoral and regional programmes for environmental stability in the country and in Central Asia. − Promote environmental cooperation in Central Asia. − Restore water supply networks, construct new drainage systems with the aim of reducing the water table, and prevent soil salinization. − Strengthen embankment works for preventing the negative impact of natural disasters. 58 − Forecast the impact of natural disasters on the national economy and environmental stability. − Improve arable land and fields suitable for farming activity through clearing antipersonnel mines and explosive remnants of war, and guarantee safe access to them; 4.5.2. Current challenges in ensuring environmental stability and sustainable development: − Arable land isdeteriorating and is not suitable for cultivation as a result of erosion, pollution, salinization, bogging, the increase the level of the water table, and deforestation, etc. These factors lead to structural modification of the soil, namely, quantitative and qualitative pattern changes in soil type, and it negatively effects environmental stability. − Access to new lands, cutting forests, and non-compliance with the regulations on the use of pastureland have led to reduced sustainability of the natural mountain environment, thus in tensifying anthropic condition. − The result of man-made pressure on mountain ecosystems is reflected in changing in the general condition of mountain plants, including rare healing plants, land degradation, as well as extinction of useful plants replaced by weeds. All of these factors cause intensified dete rioration of biodiversity and lead to desertification. − The collection of herbs and their sale abroad are not carried out in an organized manner. The li censing process and registration of herbs can regulate herb harvest and in case of introducing ma terial incentives can provide the mountainous populations with additional source of income. On the other hand its implementation is one of the priority goals of the National Development Strate gy, it strengthens the protection and management of biodiversity and environmental systems. − The pollution of the water resources is another concern, with regards to household, industrial and agricultural wastewater volumes. The volume of agricultural wastewaters exceed the specified standard (i.e. 3.3 to 4.1 km3). The volume of pesticides, nitrate and phosphate in drainage and sewage waters also exceeds the norm (up to 25 percent nitrogen, 5 percent phosphate, 4 percent pesticides). − Air pollution in manufacturing centres and urban areas is one of the challenges to environ mental safety. Main atmospheric air pollutants are the large industrial enterprises and trans portation facilities. According to official information, the number of motor vehicles in creased by 125 percent in Dushanbe alone in the last five years, 80 percent of which are ve hicles that greatly exceeded their service life. Presently, inspection by the concerned authori ties with respect the emission of wastes and quality inspection of technical facilities for en vironmental compliance is insufficient. − There are number of challenges in waste management in the country: the waste-processing sector is weakly developed; current waste collection and disposal sites do not fully meet sani tary requirements. Low-waste technology and waste-processing technology are used less. The majority of companies and organizations do not pay necessary attention to issue of improving management of industrial wastes that results in inflicting negative effect to environment. Climate change is another challenge in Tajikistan.Commissioned research studies (the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) forecast an annual temperature in crease of 1.8°С to 2.9°С in Tajikistan from 2012 to 2050. If forecasts are correct, the climate change will effectthe following areas: − a reduction of the glacial layer and water resources; − drought and a shortage of water for agriculture; − an increased number of natural disasters; − health problems for the population. 4.5.3. Recommendations for addressing the challenges in Ensuring environmental stability and sustainable development for 2013-2015 − Implement structural reform of the state authorities in environmental protection and envi ronmental stability. 59 − Implementation of obligations in the framework of international conventions on environ ment that the Republic of Tajikistan ratified, as well as ensuring implementation of strategy and national plans on protection of natural biodiversity, climate change, struggle against desertification and other national and regional programmes. − Ensure awaste management system and use advanced waste processing technologies. − Reduce the main pollution sources of water resources used in communal, industrial and ag ricultural sectors. − Attract domestic and foreign investments for environmental stability and sustainable devel opment. − Implement the “Disaster Risks Reduction Strategy for period of 2010-2015” − Ensure capacity development and implementation of mine action programme aimed at re ducing the risks of mines and explosive remnants of war. 4.5.4. Main (strategic) and priorty tasks and actions to be implemented in 2013-2015 in the field of Ensuring environmental stability and sustainable development: − Improve and coordinate laws and regulations concerning environmental protection and envi ronmental stability that comply with international requirements and standards. − Develop and use a single normative, methodological document on water quality by taking into consideration international requirements. − Develop methods to treat collector and drainage waters, bearing in mind the possibility of recycling. − Disseminate information on the use of low-waste water irrigation and water-cleaning tech nology at the national level. − Improve the system of payments for using water resources and penalties for pollution and damage caused to water resources. − Rehabilitate the current system and construct new drainage for decreasing the level of un derground waters and prevent repeated soil salinization. − Develop a mechanism of conducting obligatory assessment of impact on the environment and put in place environmental verification of all prospective construction facilities as well as newly irrigated land areas. − Introduce a monitoring system to commission an assessment on desertification trends and its impact on the environment, and support a sustainable adaptation mechanism to combat des ertification. − Make an inventory of waste disposal sites. − Organize a system of collection and disposal of solid daily wastes, including by taking into account technologies that process waste for generating electricity. − Develop a monitoring system for the transportation of polluting agents and improve the waste monitoring system. − Strengthen the technical framework of theCommittee for Environmental protection and the Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defence by attracting domestic and foreign capital; − Prepare specialists in this sector; − Take into consideration issues of environmental protection and disasters risks reduction in development of all programmes. 4.5.5.Expected outcomes by 2015 in Ensuring environmental stability and sustainable development: − mechanisms will be set up for attracting non-budget funds for the development and ensuring of environmental stability. − theenvironmental balance ,enrichment of plant resources and increasingthe number of rare animals, and prevention ofenvironmental degradation cases will be ensured; 60 − climatology specialists will be prepared; meteorological stations will be provided with state of-the-art equipment. 4.6. Ensure gender equality 1. This is one of the strategic policy goals of the Government; the responsible authorities are ac tively involved in: training on gender issues to civil servants; providing information and advisory ser vices to women and their family members; encouraging girls to pursue education; providing women and girls with vocational training, improving their access to health care, their inclusion in economic affairs and their employment; enhancing their rights and improving social services; and preventing prostitution and similar social problems among women and girls, as well as family breakdown. With the aim of driving the implementation process for the state policy on gender while im plementing the “Poverty Reduction Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2010-2012”, the “Na tional Strategy for the Empowerment of Women in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2011-2020”, the “State Programme for Preparing Gender Specialists and Supporting Women’s Employment for 2012-2015” were adopted and are being implemented. Women’s position and image in the public administration will improve through the implementation of these important documents. By the end of 2011, there were 4,493 active women in different public positions (24.8 percent of total posi tions). As a result of implementing Presidential Grants, by 2011, 2,500 women were provided with permanent jobs and 840 women were provided with temporary employment. In addition, the legal, entrepreneurial and business awareness of 18,918 women was strengthening this period. These pro jects targeted a total of over 21,000 women over the 2007-2012 period. 4.6.1. With the aim of improving the implementation of gender policy in this strategy, the following main and priorities of gender equality development are specified at the national level: − Increase woman’s role in country’s political and social life. − Increase the level of education, employment and role of women in the labour market. − Improve maternal health. − Prevent violence against women. − Reduce obsolete gender stereotypes that impede women’s development. − Support the development of rural women and labour migrant families. − Create economic and social opportunities for women with disabilities and caregivers of dis abled people in their own families. 4.6.2. Current challenges − the child and youth drop-outs, including girls who represent the majority; − too little attention paid to understanding the consequences of gender inequality in society by employees of various society structures; − a shortage of jobs and lack of a decent salary for undereducated women, labour migrants’ wives, women with disabilities, and caregivers of disabled family members; − insufficiency of financial possibilities for women’s entrepreneurship development, particu larly among rural women; − gender inequalityin government and non-government structures and in entrepreneurship throughout diverse regions of the country; − insufficiency of legal, cultural and modern economic knowledge; − the impact of superstition on the population, particularly on women; − the increased breakup of young families and the abandonment of women and underage chil dren; 61 − increased violence against women; − limited opportunities for businesswomen and tradeswomen in regional markets. 4.6.3.Taking into consideration the identified priorities and with the aim of addressing challenges and achieving the desired results, the following tasks and actions will be imple mented during the period of 2013-2015: − Determine the number of teenagers who dropped out of school and organize informal educa tion for them, particularly for women; − Introduce gender courses in advanced training curriculum of all structures, and widely advo cate progressive ideas and the national gender policy through mass media. − Create jobs and self-employment opportunities, and establish entrepreneurship activities through the allocation of small grants by the state authorities in provinces and cities to la bour migrants’ wives, disabled women and caregivers of disabled family members. − Establish a state institution responsible to the Monitoring and Evaluation of the implementa tion of a gender policy. − Increase the role and impact of structural institutional mechanisms to promote new initia tives for enhancing women’s position. − Expand joint programmes and projects of public organizations and political parties for en hancing the legal culture of women and men, and promote women to leading positions of political parties. − Establish temporary modern shelters for women exposed to violence and their underage children. − Assess women’s entrepreneurship activities aimed at reducing poverty and setting up free trade zones. 4.6.4. Expected outcome for 2013-2015 − a state institution is established to commission the monitoring and evaluation of the imple mentation of gender policy with the participation of representatives from public organiza tions; − the role and impact of institutional mechanisms for promoting new initiatives aimed at en hancing women’s positions are strengthened; − the capacities of the Committee on Women and Family Affairs (CWFA) under the Govern ment ofTajikistanis strengthened as well as those of employees of ministries and offices who are responsible for implementing the gender policy; − the mechanisms of state guarantees are implemented for ensuring true equality of men and women according to the Tajikistan Law On Ensuring Equal rights and Opportunities for Men and Women the scope of social cooperation is widened among state institutional mech anisms and public organizations; − joint programmes and projects of public organizations and political parties are expanded, which aim at enhancing the legal culture of women and men, and promoting women to oc cupy leading positions of political parties. − establishing gender indicators in state statistics; − women’s representation in leading positions of state authorities and their participation in ad dressing important state problems are increased; − the level of women’s legal and political culture isincreased; − women’s self-employment is faciliated, and their share in individual entrepreneurship as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises is increased; − centres for re-training business women are organized and adjusted; − the national legislation aimed at women’s entrepreneurship development is improved; − rural women’s access to land is expanded and their entrepreneurship activities are devel oped; 62 − women’s competitiveness is strengthened in the labour market, including that of business women and managers of dehqan farms; − gender inequality in access of boys and girls, women and men to different levels of educa tion is eliminated; − women’s and men’s access to health care services is expanded; − society is active in the prevention of violence against women and assists victims of violence; − family values are promoted, which contributes to a healthy development of the new genera tion. − the population’s awareness is raised on legal and reproductive health issue,s and women and men’s reproductive health is ensured. The implementation of actions recommended in the strategy for 2013-2015 allows the gradual implementation the Government’s policy on gender equality issues, increasing the number of wom en engaged in public administration structures as well as economically active women, and resolving other existing challenges. 4.7. Improve demographic projection and planning Highlighting of population issue in the mid-term and long-term strategies provides a favoura ble ground for fostering sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction and emergence of middle class, as well as improving living standards of population. Achieving sustainable development of human potential includes such elements as per capita income, education, gender equality and empowerment of women, longevity, reproductive right and reproductive health, poverty reduction and emergence of middle class, sustainable development of environment, food and consumption security, supplying population with drinking water, improving sanitary conditions, etc. and has close connection with population, its growth rate, as well as its ge ographical location. The state demographic policy (at national and local levels) is based on histori cal growth rate and current growth rate of population. Demographic projection is an important part of demographic policy, its other parts, such as family planning, reproductive health and reproductive right, promotion of gender equality and em powerment of women, etc.are highlighted in other divisions of the social section of this Strategy. Demographic policy in general is goal-oriented work on population. Population is one of the most important factors that has a strongest impact on the national economic development. It is not possible to promote demographic policy without making use of modern population forecasting methods based on statistical demographic data. Demographic forecasting is one of the important components of long-term social and economic planning; without it, it is impossible to plan any eco nomic and social sector. Forecasting the number of population based on gender and age is extreme ly important to make viable decisions at the national and local levels. For leading and institutional strengthening of demographic policy a “Programme for the Im plementation of the State Demographic Policy Concept of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2003 2015” was developed and adopted. According to commissioned analyses the population of the country has increased by 23 per cent during 2000-2010 period and the national demographic growth during a long-term period remains high. The population of the country is young, individuals under age of 15 accounts for more than 35% of population and approximately 70% are individuals up to age of 30. Development and implementa tion of a good policy on development of human potential and human resources has an important sig nificance in the country, where young generation constitutes the major part of population. Effective implementation of a demographic policy would allow to increase the general per capita income, decrease the poverty leveland provide a favourable foundation for increase of the middle class. Improvement of demographic projection and planning contributes to analysis of labour market and projection of external labour migration, and consequently will contribute to addressing one of the main tasks, in the framework of the second priority of the ”National Strategy on Labour Migration of Citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan to Foreign Countries for period of 2011-2015”. 63 Implementation of an effective demographic policy and building capacities of concerned bod ies in demographic forecasting, developing budgets at different levels while considering population growth all create opportunities for the targeted use of the budget and lays a sustainable foundation for introducing addressed social assistance. 4.7.1. Main goals and priorities of the sector’s development − an improved sectoral and regional outlook based on using modern models of demographic perspective and complete statistical framework; − results-driven management of demographic trends, regulation of process of labour migration and labour market analysis ; − regulation of demographic trends; − an effective use of demographic changes in decision-making processes. 4.7.2. Current challenges As a result of analysis of situation in the sector the following challenges are identified: 4.7.2.1. The low level of specialists’ knowledge in the use of statistical information and lack of experience in demographic forecasts; they do not use statistical data in the following cases: − when developing the country’s jamoat, district, city and province development plans; − when forecasting the number of population andforecasting labour resources, forecasting the number of labour migrants and analysis of market demand for labour force inside and out side the country; − when constructing sufficient number of health care facilities and shortage of health care workers; − when predicting the number of school-age and pre-school children as well as teachers; − when training specialists of different specialisations at secondary education institutions and universities of the country depending on actual demand of labour market inside and outside the country; − when constructing an adequate number of schools and pre-school institutions; − when creating the necessary infrastructure; − when organizing new jobs in diverse economic sectors; − when developing the budget andnecessary funding in sectors of economy; − when forecasting the level of unemployment. 4.7.2.2. Further, the mutual feedback system between the statistics bodies is incomplete, and there is a lack of interministerial cooperation and mutual interaction on processing and analysing demographic data and their use for designing development plans in the local communities. 4.7.2.3.Finally, there is a lack of information sources on changes in the labour market accord ing to demographic trends. 4.7.3. Recommendations for addressing challenges for 2013-2015 − Design a training module on the use of data on the population census and housing. − Train and provide refresher courses to specialists of ministries and agencies on using demo graphic data when designing sectoral and local development plans and programmes. − use demographic census data when designing development plans. (1) forecasting the devel opment ofseparate sectors of economy; (2) segregating the population by age (employable age, under the employable, and over the employable age) and gender; (3) create new jobs; (4) forecasting the number of labour migrants and analysis of market demand for labour force inside and outside the country; (5) training specialists of different specialisations at secondary and higher education instittutions of the country depending on actual demand of labour market inside and outside the country; (6) forecasting needs in the number of health care workers and for education workers; (7) the number of schools and healthcare institu tions needed; (8) developing economic sectors,districts, cities and provinces. 64 − Use demographic data forreducing consequences (risks) of all kinds of disasters; − Design budgets for different levels taking into consideration actual demand of economy and demographic trends. − Develop population employment programmes as well as programmes for training specialists in consideration of demographic trends and based on real domestic and foreign labour mar ket demands. 4.7.4. Main tasks, actions and priorities of the sector The following tasks aim at ensuring effective implementation of demographic policy: − Improve the use of demographic data, and introduce conducting quarterly analysis of the la bour market including the use of the results of population census and housing stock, calcula tions based on the class, age, gender, region, etc., when designing strategic papers as well as development plans and programmes at all levels. − Improve the public administration system in compliance with market economy principles through analysis and forecasting economic development while taking into consideration population growth rate. 4.7.5. Expected outcomes Implementation of expected actions in demographic policy and use of statistical data in the designing of plans and programmes at all government levels allows to achieve the following out comes: − The public administration system is improved in the demographic policy direction through building professional capacity of civil servants on demographic forecasting, and foundations are laid for the targeted use of state budget at all state government levels. − Based on experience acquired, when performing their duties, specialists from relevant minis tries and agencies and their sub-divisions as well as employees of scientific institutions use methods of predicting the population, manpower, the number of pupils and students, the number of labour migrants, analysis of market demand for labour force inside and outside the country, training specialists of different specialisations at professional secondary and higher educational institutions of the country depending on actual demand of labour market inside and outside the country,and the number of health care and education workers. − Relevant ministries and agencies use accurate demographic data forreducing consequences (risks) of all kinds of disasters; − Concerned ministries and agencies use the demographic data for constructing the necessary number of schools, pre-school and healthcare institutions, infrastructure, create new jobs in various economic sectors, design the budget and estimate requirements for funding econom ic sectors. − The use of demographic statistical data and demographic forecasting is generally improved in the decision-making process, and mutual feedback is improved among statistical struc tures, ministries and agencies. 65 CHAPTER V. MANAGING THE PROCESS OF STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION 5.1. Funding sources and procedures to implement the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” Achieving priorities, implementing tasks and actions, and meeting indicators specified in this Strategy require certain resources. The main funding sources for implementation of this Strategy include the state budget, exter nal assistance, foreign direct investments and other sources. Most of funding of the Strategy will come from the state budget. For implementation of the main projects on development of infrastruc ture and completion of structural reforms the state budget resources will be replenished by external assistance that will be provided to Tajikistan by international organizations and bilateral donors. The main principles of attracting and using financial resources of thisStrategy are as follows: Orientation towards long-term development The Government sets specific goals of social, economic and political stability and is taking substantial steps to implement objectives that ensure long-term development. This will result in long-term investments, support in private sector development and the sustainable foundations for the activities ofthe social and economic sectors. Real opportunities The funding section of the Strategy is based on assessing the real opportunities for mobilizing national resources, attracting external aid and foreign direct investments. It will also rely on the country’s potential to effectively and beneficially use the volume of resources allocated for its im plementation. Prioritization of expenditure. An important direction of the policy is an effective implementation of the strategy and in creasing the rational use of resources and their centralization.

Management of Strategy Implementation 5.2. Monitoring and evaluation of the «Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Ta jikistan for 2013-2015” The main objective underlying the M&E of the “Livelihood Improvement Strategy the Re public of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” is to provide an independent, transparent,result-oriented as sessment. To this end the participation of Majlisi Namoyandagon of Majlisi Oli of Tajikistan, the government authorities, ministries and agencies, local self-governance authorities of townships and villages, civil society and development partners of Tajikistan is needed. The National Development Council under the President and its membership was established pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 355 of 19 December 2007 and its Regulations approved. This Council includes representatives from Government, Majlisi Namoyandagon of Majlisi Oli of RT (lower chamber of the parliament) and civil society. The National Development Council has estab lished a general Reform Strategy with the aim to ensure cooperation between the state authorities, the private sector and civil society for implementing provisions of the “National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan up to 2015” and the mid-term strategies. The monitoring and evaluation of the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” will be completed by coordination of MEDT according to Resolution of the Gov ernment of the Republic of Tajikistan under №216 of May 2, 2008. The monitoring and evaluation of the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” will be completed by MEDT jointly with relevant ministries and agencies and re ports on implementation of actions and indicators of the “Living Standards Improvement Strategy of Tajikistan for 2013-2015” will be presented to the Government of Tajikistan every six months and every year. The tasks of the monitoring and evaluation of this Strategy are as follow: 1. Ensure implementation of actions of this Strategy for achieving national development goals; 2. Inolve all groups and strata of the society in M&E of implementation of this Strategy; National Development Council (NDC) Government of RT Donor Coordination Council NDC Secretari at/MEDTNDC Sessions Issues Monitoring and evaluation of im plementation Sectoral Imple mentation plans Agency on Statistics under the President of RT Relevant ministries and agencies NDC Secretariat and sectoral ministries CURRENT REPORT 1st year Annual Report – 1st year I II III IV 2nd year Annual Report – 2nd year I II III IV 3rd year Annual Report – 3rd year I II III IV FINAL REPORT 70 3. Ensure proper and rational use of internal and external resources, ensureindependent and transparent evaluation and results orientation; 4. Develop specific statistical reporting models for evaluation of results of implementation of quantative actions; 5. Identify priority tasks and actions in the process of implementation of this Strategy on annual basis. The monitoring report of the Strategy and evaluation of activities and recommendations on improving development process will be discussed by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan with participation of Tajikistan development partners in the framework of sessions of the National Development Council under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan. Majlisi Namoyandagon of Majlisi Oli (The Parliament) of the Republic of Tajikistan ensures the legality of actions specified in this Strategy in its compliance with national strategic objectives and priorities. The system of information collection ensures cohesion of requirements related to the accuracy of information, which is important for management decision making and saves on public resources in obtaining this information. Information collection will be improved on the national standard of living, the poverty rate and the middle-class. The main source of information for M&E will be the data from Agency on Statistics under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan andrelevant ministries and agencies. At the same time using the results of expert surveys on methodology of data collection by participants of the M&E system will play an important role. The Agency on Statistics under the President of the Republic of Tajiki stan will develop specific reporting models for structures of the Government of the Republic of Ta jikistan and for non-governmental organization in this process. The duties and roles of the local authorities in the regions in terms of the M&E system in clude: organizing data collection on the implementation of state programmes within their relevant territories; and analysing the implementation process of national priorities in the regions; and de veloping relevant recommendations for sectoral ministries and agencies. The involvement of civil society in performing the M&E of the Strategy will be inclusive and comprehensive. Local self-governing bodies of town settlements and rural areasplay an important role in the monitoring process – they are involved in Strategy implementation and provide infor mation on how to adopt it and address problems at the local level. Access of entire population to the results of the Strategy’s M&E, collection of recommendations from citizens and organizations, and feedback by civil society on all aspects of policy and practice of Strategy implementation will be provided to the public. Civil society organizations will conduct research on the Strategy’s challeng es, particularly those related to the topics not included in the official statistics. The procedure for reporting the results of the Strategy’s implementation in the regions will be as follows:the relevant structures of the local authorities shall submit sectoral reports to sectoral ministries and agencies. Sectoral ministries shall summarize the reports received within the compe tence of their own sector and submit finalized reports to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Republic of Tajikistan, where all information on the Strategy implementation will be centralized and analysed. The M&E system will be adequately funded through the state budget. Moreover, mobilizing donor funds in capacity-building training and setting up the M&E system are desirable. Donors’ ef forts in the development of civil society potential in the M&E process will be supported. Jointly with donor organizations, the Government is undertaking a set of actions to develop an effective M&E system, including: − establishing and strengthening the necessary structures for performingM&E in ministries, agencies and the regional government; − training specialists in M&E; − improving necessary aspects for having an effective system and improving the Strategy re sults. 71 A n n ex 1 A ct io n M a tr ix o f th e “ L iv in g S ta n d a rd s Im p ro v em en t S tr a te g y o f T a ji k is ta n f o r 2 0 1 3 2 0 1 5 ” G o a ls O b je ct iv es F in a l re su lt i n d ic a to rs A ct io n s Im p le m en ti n g a g en cy L eg a l g ro u n d s / T o ta l n ee d fo r fu n d in g F u n d in g i n m il li o n s o m o n is G o T D P I.
