  1. BACKGROUND <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project is an IDA grant in the amount of US$ 108 million prepared to support Tajikistan for the purpose of foundations for a more resilient agriculture sector referring to the availability of public agricultural services, including improved seeds, seedlings, and planting materials; agri-logistical services; agrometeorological information, soil testing, locust control and crop protection.<\/p>\n

    The project aims to support the Government of Tajikistan (GoT) in successfully transitioning to a sustainable, more productive, climate resilient, and inclusive model of agricultural sector growth. The proposed project will help to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. increase the availability of improved seeds, seedlings, and planting materials that are climate resilient, affordable, farmer-preferred, and well adapted to the different agro-ecological conditions of Tajikistan;<\/li>\n
    2. improve the access to improved agri-logistic services of farmers and agri-businesses; and<\/li>\n
    3. strengthen the crisis management, i.e. early warning, preparedness and response capacity of selected public institutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      All activities related to human resource development and capacity building will include topics on understanding climate change better and frameworks, tools, and techniques to facilitate designing and implementing climate adaptation and mitigation approaches. All infrastructure, including buildings, offices, laboratories, and storage facilities, constructed and\/or rehabilitated by the project, will be encouraged to utilize energy-efficient and climate-resilient materials and designs. The proposed project aims to thereby strengthen the foundations for a more resilient agriculture sector, which will in turn help improve food security and nutrition and accelerate agricultural diversification. It will also contribute to the development of a viable sector of private micro, small and medium enterprises in rural areas and generate employment opportunities for women in regions with few legal alternatives.<\/p>\n

      The Project is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan through the State Institute \u201cAgriculture Entrepreneurship Development\u201d which is the Project Management Unit for the World Bank-funded Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project (SI AED PMU).<\/p>\n

      In order to eliminate existing water use problems, which are related to dilapidated infrastructure and to ensure access of vulnerable farms to the irrigation system, the project will rehabilitate existing irrigation systems by installing energy-efficient irrigation pumps and carry out minor rehabilitation of existing irrigation networks, including the replacement of obsolete non-operational pumping units serving the existing irrigated areas, as well as minor (emergency) rehabilitation of the inter- and intra-farm irrigation infrastructure for dekhan farms and women-headed farms, which will receive seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, protection equipment and small-size innovative agricultural machinery. The rehabilitation of irrigation systems includes replacement of obsolete non-operational units, and rehabilitation of inter- and on-farm irrigation infrastructure.<\/p>\n
