Editor's Notes
- The Programme aims to foster an environment for rural economic development through the following components: Improving capacities of local governance actors (government, private sector and civil society) for local development planning with an emphasis on rural economic growth, including the implementation and monitoring of local development plans in line with NDS and PRS; Facilitating access for producers/farmers and MSMEs to appropriate, professional, and sustainable business and technical advisory/extension services ; Supporting organized member focused business associations and their apex institutions in developing adequate and responsive services and advocacy support for its members; Strengthening selected district vocational training institutions to meet regional and international market demands for better qualified labor and safe migration; Facilitating access for producers/farmers, poor, women, and MSMEs to a variety of financial products and services available from Micro Finance Institutions.
- The RGP is based on a partnership approach which seeks to capitalize on the competitive advantage of partners. UNDP : Being one of the key multilateral development organizations, UNDP will play a role of a close partner of the national government of Tajikistan in strengthening the governance system and its capacities to support local economic development. GTZ: The RGP will also rely on the experience and position of GTZ in promoting the private sector and microfinance development through ensuring micro-meso-macro level linkages throughout the intervention. This approach secures a solid link between field experiences and policy making processes.
- The RGP will concentrate on the rural areas of Tajikistan, which is significantly more deprived from access to development opportunities, resources and basic services than urban areas. The Sughd region , where RGP will be implemented, includes the Zerafshan and Fergana valleys. These areas are some of the most densely populated regions in Tajikistan and accounts for almost 30% of total countryโs population. Notably, Sughd region was ranked as the poorest in terms of household living standards, although in the Soviet period, it used to be one of the leading regions in terms of revenue collection and agriculture/trade outputs. It has a wide diversity of districts have typical conditions found in other areas of the country; thus, models piloted in Sughd for the RGP would have considerable replication potential
