general Objectives
The project’s development objective is to ensure women’s economic rights and security in the context of the land reform in Tajikistan. The project is part of efforts supporting the national strategy for reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) as reflected in the Millennium Declaration, and most specifically in reaching these objectives by targeting gender equality. Activities will support the work and objectives of the UN Country Team, and bring in the voices of rural women and civil society in advocating for their rights by influencing, when necessary, the development process and negotiations, including the National Strategy for Poverty Reduction, based on MDG and NDS.
Immediate Objectives
- Enabling the protection of fulfillment of women’s right to land in Tajikistan by building capacity for information, collective action, self-help and economic advancement
- Advocating for policy, legal, taxation and other changes towards engendering the process, implementation and monitoring of the land reform in Tajikistan
- Creating and/or supporting information mechanisms though which rural women and men are better able to protect and ensure their economic rights and livelihoods
Information on beneficiaries
The majority of women in Tajikistan, especially rural women, benefit from the activities implemented. Women acquire skills to individually and collectively claim and defend their right to land and economic resources and thus their position in the community and family will improve. They also obtain information on farming and management skills necessary for them to autonomously provide for themselves and their families, and in some cases the market. Project interventions help to tackle a series of social problems accompanying the poverty in Tajikistan, including the lack of access to decision-making and the isolation of women in rural areas. Both rural men and women benefit through information dissemination about land rights claims and procedures.
Government agencies, at central as well as at local levels, benefit from training and be sensitized to gender issues related to land reform implementation.
