Strategic position of UNDP

UNDP programme decisions were largely guided by the post-war transition and development needs in Tajikistan. UNDP has been implementing programmes in Tajikistan since the civil war. Initial UNDP work was post conflict rehabilitation and support to the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office. UNDP followed a phased approach in its programme intervention: beginning with reconstruction and stabilization activities that were followed by transition and development interventions. The second and ongoing country programmes focused on improving economic opportunities in rural areas, support to public services, and strengthening institutional capacities. These are the priority issues in Tajikistan.
