Background
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Office in Tajikistan has been active since 1994 and is guided in its work by the Country Programme Document, which in turn builds upon the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP has made a significant contribution to developing the National Development Strategy, with an outline of policies and investments necessary to reach the SDGs by 2030. Together with the Government of Tajikistan, civil society and the people of Tajikistan, UNDP works towards identifying local solutions to global and national development challenges. Its main focus is reaching sustainable development by enhancing accountability of the current governance system, mitigating natural disaster threats, and contributing to environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation.
The Climate Change, Energy and Environment (CCEE) Cluster of UNDP Tajikistan manages a diverse and growing portfolio of various projects currently under implementation across the country. The Cluster provides strategic, technical, and operational support to national counterparts in addressing Tajikistan’s key environmental, climate, and energy challenges, in line with national development priorities and international commitments. The Cluster’s programmatic focus spans several interrelated thematic areas, including climate change adaptation and mitigation, integrated water resources management, sustainable land management, urban resilience to disaster and climate risks, promotion of renewable and green energy solutions, and biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.
In particular, with regard to biodiversity conservation and it’s biodiversity portfolio, UNDP's Country Office in Tajikistan is currently supporting the country’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) update and implementation in alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). As countries move from updating their NBSAPs towards implementation, targeted support is required to translate national biodiversity priorities into concrete actions and address critical implementation gaps.
