INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE
The Republic of Tajikistan has gone through a civil war, natural disasters
and a break-up of economic relations with the countries of the former Soviet
Union. This resulted in a near paralysis of the economic system, disrupted
normal functioning of industrial and agricultural enterprises and
infrastructure. At present, the country gradually overcomes the political
and socio-economic crisis.
Nevertheless, Tajikistan is not able to solve the complex socio-economic
problems of the post-war period on its own. In it, it has been assisted by a
number of foreign countries and international organizations.
Today, the international assistance provided to Tajikistan is of utmost
importance for the life support of vulnerable groups and stabilization of
the peace process. The overall goal of humanitarian activities in Tajikistan
is to support the peace process by implementing social security programs
targeting the poor, reintegration of former ex-combatants and repatriates.
However, upon completion of the peace process in early 2000, the
international community has been looking into long-term development
solutions along with the continued humanitarian aid.
Humanitarian aid provided by international organizations to socially
insecure groups of the population will be required for a few more years
following the post-conflict period. Yet, humanitarian aid alone is not
sufficient for the provision of sustainable rehabilitation of the social
sector and economic infrastructure. There is also a need for long-term
development solutions that would help the country regenerate the economic
recession and destroyed infrastructure.
