Tajikistan - Agrifood Security Policies Advice and Analytics : Scaling up Climate-Smart Agriculture in Tajikistan (English)

The overall purpose of this climate-smart agriculture (CSA) analysis is to inform the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan's efforts to implement agricultural programs, such as the updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in the area of agriculture, the national development strategy, the national climate change and adaptation strategy, and the agrifood sector development program (ASDP). The objectives of this component of the CSA analysis are to: (a) identify potential CSA measures relevant to priority value chains, and (b) provide a more in-depth assessment of certain CSA opportunities and their respective scaling requirements. This CSA analysis is based on extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders. Chapter 1 gives study objectives and approach. Chapter 2 summarizes the climate risks and high level of vulnerability of both the cropping and livestock sectors in Tajikistan, underscoring the urgency of implementing suitable CSA technologies and practices at scale. Chapter 3 identifies the priority value chains for scaling CSA in Tajikistan, while chapter 4 provides an overview of CSA technologies and practices relevant to the prioritized value chains and assesses select key CSA opportunities in more depth. Chapter 5 presents overall conclusions and recommendations.
