Abstract

Tajikistan Water Sector Development Strategy is multi-sectoral document elaborated by the Ministry of Land Reclamation and Water Resources of the Republic of Tajikistan, UNDP Office in Tajikistan and Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea. The Strategy considers the problems of water resources, their integrated management, the state of the water sector and prospects for its development within the borders of the Republic of Tajikistan with a focus on economic growth and poverty reduction. The scope of this Strategy is not to unite all sectors of the water management complex into a single economic complex, but effective interaction between them, the implementation of unified policy, decision-making and implementation of decisions that provide the greatest economic and social benefits with minimal damage to the environment. The overall objectives of the Strategy shall be as follows: (a) ensuring optimal water resources needs of all categories of water users and consumers taking into account interstate water sharing; (b) rehabilitation of existing water infrastructure with its production base; (c) ensuring full reimbursement of water supply costs; (d) full development of irrigable land; (e) introduction of new cost-effective technologies; (f) implementation of an effective water saving program; (g) gradual solution of environmental problems related to water (floods, mudflow prevention, waterlogging, rehabilitation of engineering structures, land salinization, breakthrough lakes, pulsating glaciers, water pollution, etc.); and (h) protection of national interests on the basis of market relations and interstate agreements.
