Helvetas Tajikistan

Helvetas Tajikistan Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation has been operating as a non-profit organisation in Tajikistan since March 2009.

Our objective is to support Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic, in its transition process by contributing to its socio-economic development and helping to build institutions and systems that respond to the population’s needs. The objectives for intervention include Rule of Law, Rural Economy and Private Sector Development. Tajikistan, the poorest country in Central Asia, is widely considered to

be economically and socially fragile in spite of its relative political stability and economic growth. Poverty is high, especially in isolated rural and mountainous areas, where about 70% of the population is considered to be poor (Human Development Index ranking: 125 of 185. Source: Human Development Report 2013). Agriculture is very important and around three-quarters of the population relies on it for their livelihoods. FOCUS ON RURAL ECONOMY

HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation Tajikistan focuses on two working areas: Rural Economy and Governance and Peace. In the working area Rural Economy, we develop organic value chains in cotton, pulses and other crops, including vegetables and walnuts. The Organic Value Chain Development Project provides technical advice to organic farmers and facilitates their access to export markets in Russia and Europe. In the Local Market Development Project. HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation facilitates the market linkages between farmer associations, processors and traders. So far, 18 vegetable and fruit value chains have been supported, which has increased family incomes and livelihoods. Both projects test agricultural extension systems that should, over time, become self-financed and therefore sustainable. Both projects collaborate with local authorities, as well as non-governmental and private sector organisations, which make possible the sustainable implementation of our projects in Rural Economy. FOCUS ON GOVERNANCE AND PEACE
The government of Tajikistan has undertaken effort in rule of law reforms and strengthening the judicial system. The international community works with Tajikistan’s authorities to put in place stronger governance and regulatory frameworks. Efforts focus on the establishment of an independent, effective and accessible judicial system that applies internationally recognized standards, and the adoption of national laws in conformity with international standards. Lawyers, judges and prosecutors receive trainings with the purpose of increasing legal knowledge and judicial competence. HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation, in consortium with UNDP and financed by SDC, provides legal aid to help marginalised individuals, the majority women, who have legal problems, by providing consultation and representation in 13 legal aid centres country-wide. One group that especially benefits is rural women who are abandoned by their husbands due to the widespread labour migration of men towards Russia. A majority of the rural population does not know their basic rights. The Access to Justice Project conducts legal literacy campaigns through (social) media, informational meetings in local communities and schools and through the creation of a system of community paralegals that provide firsthand information to their community members. The project facilitates a platform for policy dialogue, including monthly Rule of Law meetings under the Development Coordination Council and engagement in working groups on drafting a Law on Legal Aid under the Ministry of Justice.

🌍 The new initiatives aim to strengthen the adaptive capacity of rural communities and promote climate-smart solutions across key sectors such as agriculture, water resources, energy and housing. The projects are implemented under the Small Grants and Climate Innovation Facility (SGCIF), which is funded by UK International Development. SGCIF is a part of the regional programme “Climate Risk Management in Central Asia”, implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Government.

The official part of the event was opened with welcome remarks by the British Ambassador and the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Republic of Tajikistan, as well as a representative of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Participants also visited the Tajik Syr Darya River Basin Organization (RBO) and innovative vermi-compost production site by the International Secretariat for Water under the CoWaSS project.

🏞️ The significance of this visit goes beyond the inspection of infrastructure. It contributes to building trust between countries, establishing a shared water agenda, and discussing concrete steps toward joint management of canals, rivers, and reservoirs.

The visit offered a valuable chance to exchange practical insights while also advancing long-term improvements in how the region manages shared water resources, emphasizing collaboration, adaptability, and the integration of innovative technologies.

The event was organized within the framework of Blue Peace Central Asia (BPCA), GIZ Green Central Asia and the Government of Switzerland’s National Water Resources Management Project (NWRMP) implemented by Helvetas - Acted consortium.

💧From Dry Soil to Again Thriving Fields: A Story from Guliston Village

In Guliston village of Qubodiyon district, Khatlon region, Alisher Giyosov, a member of the Dehkan Farm “Ghiyos”, works side by side with his father and family to care for over 33 hectares of land. Their journey is one of patience, resilience, and a transformative power of support.

🌳 Years ago, their land was greener and full of life. A nearby canal provided enough water for farming. But as the village population grew, so did the demand for water. Families in the upper part of the village began growing rice crops that require large amounts of water. Because the Ghiyos farm is in the lower part of the village, the water no longer reached it. The canal dried up, and the land slowly turned barren.

From the very beginning, Alisher and his family took steps to protect their land. They fenced the entire territory and planted saxaul trees🌿, which grow well in dry conditions and help shield the village from frequent dust storms carried by the wind from Afghanistan. They also tried growing vegetables and fruits and cared for animals that are disappearing from the region. But without water, nothing could survive.

That changed when Helvetas Tajikistan, through the Climate Resilience Development Project, provided the farm with a water pump. Though the canal was far from their land, the pump made it possible to transfer water to their fields. For the first time in years, the soil was wet again - and so was their hope.

Now, Alisher and his family are preparing to grow vegetables and fruit trees on 8 to 10 hectares of their land. The rest will be used to expand their saxaul forest, helping protect the environment and the village from climate-related challenges.

"Water is our greatest treasure - because without it, there are no crops, no harvest, no trees or plants. Without water, there is no life," says Alisher.

With the project’s support, the Ghiyos farm is not only restoring their land, but they’re also building a more resilient future for their community and protecting endemic species.

The Climate Resilience Development Project (CRDP) is consortium of Helvetas Tajikistan and Welthungerhilfe (WHH) Tajikistan in partnership with the Swiss Cooperation - Tajikistan.
