 UNDP considers democratic governance to be central to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, as it provides the enabling environment for the elimination of poverty. In Tajikistan, UNDP works both with the central government and on the level of local governments to support a more accountable governance system. On the central level, UNDP supports the government and the parliament to enhance transparency and to fight corruption. Through its Communities Programme, UNDP works to develop a more participatory local governance system, which includes working with community based organizations, civil society organizations and local authorities.

Project Title: BOMCA
The objectives of the BOMCA programme are to contribute to the facilitation of legitimate trade and transit; to reduce the illicit movement of goods and people; and to help increase security in the region. The main component of BOMCA is capacity development for integrated border management (IBM) through exposure of the leadership of all agencies to European ‘best practices’ of IBM and specialized training on IBM and cross border cooperation. The programme also aims to modernize and upgrade training facilities and to improve the working conditions at border crossing points on regional trade corridors. By providing infrastructure (fully constructed and equipped BCPs and Border Outposts), equipment and training, and international markets, the programme has contributed to the strengthening of the Tajik-Afghan border.
CADAP is aimed to reduce drug trafficking, the EC launched its Central Asia Drug Action Programme (CADAP) in 2001. This programme fosters a public health approach to drug demand and an interdiction approach to drug supply. It is implemented in conjunction with the BOMCA programme and some activities (including provision of a drug detecting dog capacity) are interlinked. Under the current phase of CADAP, five drug profiling units will be built and equipped at regional airports and railway stations. A drug profiling study tour to Brussels and Paris for beneficiary agencies was organized in October 2008, followed by a regional training session in Ashgabat in November 2008.
