Launch of the National Policy Dialogue (NPD): 2009
NPD Chair: Ministry of Energy and Water Resources
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UNECE: 2011 (in English)
Current priority areas for UNECE support
-
Revision of the national targets in the context of the UNECE-WHO/Europe Protocol on Water and Health
-
Strengthening of transboundary water cooperation with Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan
Key achievements
Over 60 professionals attend the NPD Steering Committee meetings in Tajikistan. Several active working groups demonstrate excellent stakeholder engagement.
-
A key achievement of the NPD was the development of the Water Sector Reform Programme 2016-2025 for Tajikistan. The Programme was adopted by the Government in December 2015 and its implementation is on the way. The aim of the programme is to create a framework by 2020 for the transition to water resources management according to the basin principle and to clarify the competencies of different national institutions. Separately, a Programme for Development of the Irrigation and Melioration Sector was prepared in 2015-2016.
-
The NPD acted as an umbrella process for transboundary water diplomacy to advance the cooperation with Afghanistan and the management of a transboundary basin with Kyrgyzstan in the Isfara basin (project led by GIZ).
-
Targets have been drafted for the application of the UNECE-WHO/Europe Protocol on Water and Health.
