Sustainable Development Strategy for Tajikistan
The Re public of Tajikistan (here: Tajikistan) is a landlocked low-income country in Central Asia with a population of 7 million. Transitioning to sustainable development is an evolutionary process for Tajikistan, as it moves its socially-oriented market economy towards utilizing opportunities and conditions for greater human capital productivity, tourism, mineral resource, underdeveloped land, developed communication and transportation, agriculture and hydropower. The Government’s sustainable development policy focuses on complex measures to accelerate political, economic and structural reforms, based on existing strategies and programs such as a Strategy Document on Poverty Alleviation (2002-2009), the signing of the Millennium Declaration, along with ratification of several environmental conventions to fully integrate three dimensions of SD. In 2005 Tajikistan developed the National Strategy for Development up to 2015 with technical support from UNDP. In 2006 Tajikistan requested assistance from UNEP to develop its National Sustainable Development Strategies (NSDS) towards mainstreaming sustainable development in decision making as well as the strengthening the capacity of the Nation Commission on Sustainable Development (NCSD) which was established in 1988.
