USAID in Tajikistan
USAID began providing assistance to Tajikistan in 1993, soon after the country became independent. Since that time, the American people through USAID have provided over $300 million in programs that assist the development of the country’s economic sector, education and healthcare systems, and democratic institutions. USAID programs cooperate with ministries, governmental and non-government organizations, businesses, and communities to improve laws, create jobs, increase incomes, improve services, and better manage available resources.
During the first 5-7 years of USAID assistance in Tajikistan, about two-thirds of all funds went to programs dealing with the humanitarian crisis caused by the 1992-1997 civil war. More recently, USAID also supported economic policy reform and privatization, provided micro-credits to farmers and small businesses, and worked to improve maternal, child, and reproductive health. More recently, USAID also helped control malaria and to provide food and medical assistance for children who were malnourished. Currently, USAID assistance focuses on the country’s structural reforms, improvement of the trade and investment climate, strengthening local governance, support for the National Education Strategy, and prevention of infectious diseases, such as TB and HIV/AIDS.
USAID operates under a bilateral agreement with the Government of the Tajikistan, and is the largest single-country donor organization in the country. USAID programs in Tajikistan are implemented through contracts and grants by more than 30 local and international organizations, including U.N. agencies, for profit companies, and non-governmental organizations.
