Communication Strategy for Agricultural Reforms
Intended to the Independent Commission
Cotton plays a crucial role in Tajikistan, with 15% of export earnings, 35% of tax revenues and 60% of agricultural output. Furthermore, it is produced by the majority of the agricultural producing units, supporting about 75% of the rural population, and cultivated on 45% of arable land. Despite this predominant role, the cotton sector is characterised by low and stagnating productivities in production and ginning, a massive debt of 402 millions US$ of the majority of the cotton producing units, producer exploitation by cotton processing and marketing monopsonies controlling as well inputs and outputs and current land use and competition policies and their implementation at local levels, impeding growth opportunities.
The goal of this study is twofold. Firstly, we want to give an estimate of the size of unaccounted economy in Tajikistan. Secondly, we want to establish main causes, which can stimulate or discourage the expansion of informal/shadow economy in Tajikistan. To accomplish these two goals, we look at the structure of shadow economy, its industrial and geographical composition, the connection between levels of growth of shadow economic activities and levels of profitability, employment, the burden of administrative barriers and taxation, and the pervasiveness of nonmonetary transactions both in the household sector and in the enterprise sector.
What we do today about climate change has consequences that will last a century or more. The part of that change that is due to greenhouse gas emissions is not reversible in the foreseeable future. The heat trapping gases we send into the atmosphere in 2008 will stay there until 2108 and beyond. We are therefore making choices today that will affect our own lives, but even more so the lives of our children and grandchildren. This makes climate change different and more difficult than other policy challenges.
Strategy for Development of Small Scale Hydropower of the Republic of Tajikistan
In the past few years, the rural population of the Republic of Tajikistan has suffered from a lack of electricity.
