Honourable President of Tajikistan, heads of ministries and agencies, respected leaders of international financial organizations, esteemed development partners, representatives of the private sector, and members of civil society organizations, I am honoured to speak to this audience on behalf of the Development Coordination Council (DCC).
The DCC has played a key role in mobilizing development partners to support the implementation of the National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan until 2030. Eight years ago (in 2016) the Government adopted the National Development Strategy 2030, which aims to shift the country to a new growth model based on private investment, exports, and productivity to achieve sustained income growth. As we have already reached the half-way point in the Strategy’s implementation, it is a good time to look at what has been achieved and what remains to be done. Read More
Organization Overview
Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was founded on April 1, 1991, as a government agency responsible for grant aid to support poverty eradication and socio-economic development in developing countries, enhancing international development cooperation as well as strengthening partnerships with developing countries.
KOICA Tajikistan office has opened officially in February 2022, and plays a crucial role in establishing KOICA’s field-oriented aid programs. In particular, the office will make a great effort to maximize the effectiveness of aid programs by discussing policies and researching demand with Tajik governments.

The summer of 2021 is a balancing act on a fine line between unique opportunities and considerable risks. In just a few months, both have increased in significance, increasing the importance of taking the decisions that address the latter within the context of the former, that combine the strategic medium- to long-term objectives with swift emergency responses. The present situation, as challenging as it appears, contains the ingredients, with which Tajikistan would be able to place itself into a position, from which to strengthen its socio-economic development perspective and foundation for sustainable growth and employment generation. Against this very backdrop, the members of the Development Coordination Council (DCC) are particularly grateful to the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management and the Consultative Council for their foresight in organising this Round Table on Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Investment Development, with a view to defining adequate responses to the emerging risks (whether they relate to the deteriorating security situation along the Southern border, climate change mitigation requirements, or indications of the pandemic’s second wave) and reflecting on ways to absorb additional budgetary obligations in a sustainable manner.

World Bank Country Manager and Chair of the Development Coordination Council
At the time of last year’s Consultative Council, in early February 2020, COVID-19 was largely—but erroneously—still considered a localised event somewhere else, and it did not feature in the discussions around this table. Three months later, the global pandemic has brought to the fore a myriad of challenges in health, on social security, and surrounding challenges of macro-fiscal and financial stability. And nine months later still, Tajikistan has been able to prove wrong the, in hindsight, alarmist projections made during late spring 2020. Agriculture has responded with increased production to the risks of interrupted supply chains, as has manufacturing—with the importance of, and opportunities in, increasing economic self-reliance having become evident to communities throughout the country.
The overarching policy objectives discussed during recent Consultative Councils, and the steps taken by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan in response, have proven accurate and timely, having provided for the figurative lighthouse at the distant horizon. This mental picture— relating to a quote by Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca that, “if one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable”—implies that, even with strong headwinds ( such as the ones caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic), it is still possible to move a ship, on a zig-zag course, even upwind in the desired direction.

XX Session
Consultative Council on the Improvement of the Investment Climate under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan
Dushanbe – 12 February 2020
Jan-Peter Olters
World Bank Country Director
Chair, Development Coordination Council
The results of the latest Doing Business report reflect the commitment to, progress in, and challenges of aligning Tajikistan’s economic policies to the objective of encouraging investments. The improvement relative to results from earlier years foreshadows a path towards a new development phase, one that succeeds in taking full advantage of the considerable opportunities inherent in the ambitious public investment program, emerging trade opportunities, and the country’s young and growing population. Against the backdrop of a changing internal and external environment, with improved prospects and risks, it is becoming increasingly evident—whether in terms of macro-fiscal stability, especially young Tajiks’ professional perspectives, or the breadth of the underlying tax base—that enterprises and investors will need to play a key role in buttressing dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable growth and securing improved living standards in Tajikistan.

UNOPS Overview:
Established in 1995 by the UN General Assembly with a mandate in infrastructure, procurement, and project management, UNOPS acts as a service provider, technical advisor, and implementer for its partners, which include governments, IFIs, UN Agencies, and the private sector. Partners call on UNOPS to supplement their own capacities, accelerate delivery, reduce risks, boost cost-effectiveness, but also to assure quality for delivery and impact. UNOPS is overseen and guided by the joint UNDP/UNOPS/UNFPA Executive Board, members of which are elected annually by the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The UNOPS Executive Director reports to the UN Secretary-General.
UNOPS is the only UN entity that operates on a full cost-recovery basis without receiving core funding from member states. UNOPS maintains a network of more than 80 country offices and operates in over 130 countries around the world. In 2018, UNOPS supported more than 900 projects worth 1.9 billion USD. 37% of this support was provided to governments, while 32% was delivered through partnerships with various UN organizations. During 2017, UNOPS supported its partners by procuring more than 1 billion USD of goods, services and works; constructing or rehabilitating over 100 buildings such as schools and hospitals; and deploying approximately 10,000 project managers and technical experts.
In line with its 2018-2021 strategic plan, UNOPS ambition is to become a known and recognized resource providing collaborative advantages that expand implementation capacity for Governments, the United Nations, and other partners, in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To advance on this ambition, UNOPS works through a number of modalities to provide comprehensive implementation services to its partners, leveraging its expertise in five service lines:
UNOPS work in Tajikistan commenced over 20 years ago executing over 400 projects nationwide. Currently, UNOPS is working with the Government of Tajikistan and relevant partners to develop its portfolio in the country, to advance efforts in support of the National Development Plan (2016-2030) and promote SDG achievement.
