JICA Tajikistan Office

Tajikistan is one of the newest groups of countries which very recently received Official Development Assistance by the Government of Japan.

In September 1991, Tajikistan came into being as an independent sovereign state,  after the collapse of former Soviet Union, then in the subsequent years, civil war among Tajik nationals broke out and continued till the time of peace treaty effected in June,1997.
Tajik road to rehabilitation and reconstruction so started.

The Government of Japan has initiated its governmental economic cooperation to Tajikistan in 1993, through provision of allocation of seats for training in Japan for Tajik officials, and expanded the cooperation to various modality, ie.,development study, Capital Grant Aid etc.
The cumulative outcome of the training programme of Tajik officials in Japan has counted for almost one thousand, from the start, as of 2008. In the meanwhile, Japanese Embassy was open in Dushanbe in the year 2001, followed by the establishment of JICA Tajikistan Office in 2005.
At the moment, JICA Tajik Office has three Japanese and five national staffs deployment.

Tajikistan is geographically land-rocked, 93 percent of which is occupied by mountains, and being ranked poorest country in Asia.
Not economic development are put under hard conditions, but the country’s stands are also complicated in other contexts of water resource management in Central Asia region as a whole, and in assuring the connectivity between Central and South Asia, and in the context of stabilization process of adjacent territory of Afghanistan, hence the country deserve importance.
Tajikistan is the country which may reveal apparent demonstration effect on the awaited Afghanistan stability and reconstruction.

Acknowledging the significance of Tajikistan’s stand in development and reconstruction process in the region, staffs of JICA Tajikistan office devote their duty.
Thank you
