UNDP in Tajikistan

UNDP began its programme in Tajikistan in 1993 and supported the relief and stabilization efforts of the international community and the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office. Until 1997, UNDP activities were defined by the political and social instability in the country and the programme was largely confined to humanitarian assistance at the sub-district. Since the signing of the Peace Agreement in 1997, UNDP has expanded its programme scope to reconstruction, transition and development. A strategic framework for UNDP assistance was formulated for the period 1997 to 1998 to link humanitarian and longer-term development assistance. This later evolved into the first country programme for the period 1999 to 2000, subsequently followed by the second (2001 to 2004) and third country programmes (2005 to 2009). The ADR carried out an evaluation of the third country programme and part of the interventions of the second country programme. The programme response of UNDP is described in the following sections.
