1. «Acquisition and use of information on the GRT» Vice Chairman of the Goscomstat of the Republic of Tajikistan– Assoyev A. A.

2. GRT(Goals of the Republic of Tajikistan) – 1 POWERTY AND FAMINE - In the republic there were researches of living standards of the population in 1999, 2003 and 2007 Poverty and beggary level estimation was carried out in November, 2007, at 53,5% and 17,1% respectively Poverty is more wide spread in rural districts; poverty level varies in different regions significantly Large households, households with great number of children, households with a woman as the leader, households which leader has no education or works in the agricultural sector are more vulnerable for poverty. Different regions have different priorities

3. GRT– 2 PROVISION WITH UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION The basic data provider Annual data of the Ministry of Education The data are disaggregated according to sex, age, urban and rural areas, regions of the republic Problem – automated data handling on general education schools was carried out only from 2008/2009 (including retrain students, age of students according to the form for calculation of net rate of coverage). Additional data providers Inspection of the population and households (MIKI, Life standard) Special inspections (UNESCO, UNICEF) Population census

4. GRT – 3 ENCOURAGEMENT OF MEN AND WOMEN EQUALITY, EXTENSION OF RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Problems: A low level of attendance among girls at the 2-nd level of school education and a low rate of acceptance in universities among girls Insufficiency of data on realization of opportunities of access to education by the population that is among minority group Presentation of data on students attendance is still problematic yet. These data have been received during the conducting of research on the population life standards and MIKI. The population’s education level data have been received from the RLP (Research of Labour Power), this level came to 99,3% among employed population, lower among unemployed population – 98,6% and lower among passive population – 95,4% according to the RLP information in 2004 Estimation of population’s literacy is carried out according to the results of population census. Population census is carried out every 10 years in Tajikistan and it is as well as housing census to be carried out in September 2010. The present high percentage of lettered population is not considered for annual report.

5. GRT – 3 ENCOURAGEMENT OF MEN AND WOMEN EQUALITY, EXTENSION OF RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES -Data provider: - The RLP was carried out in 2004 for the first time in the country, that is why not every parameter was calculated - The Goskomstat conducted the Research of Labour Power (RLP) in July-August 2009 in Tajikistan. 4000 households were interviewed during this research as in previous research in 2004. Moreover, the checklist of returned immigrants was filled in. At the present moment there is data handling. Conducting of such researches provides with collecting of data according to sex, age, urban and rural areas and state regions as well as data within the present statistical reporting. - The major reasons of additional parameters selection 3 (a,b,c,d,) are caused by the fact that difference between sexes is shown not only by access to the labour market, but also by the segregation at the labour market itself in greater extend.

6. GRT– 4 REDUCTION OF CHILD MORTALITY Administrative data provider have always been used, but unregistered ones were not published MIKI data of 2000 and 2005 are considered as child mortality initial index and mortality level among children of 5 and downward for monitoring of progress of the GRT achieving (new criteria of liveborn, recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) It is necessary to: Reduce child mortality to 29,6 per 1000 liveborn, but it is desirable to reduce that index to 25 per 1000 liveborn Reduce mortality level among children of 5 and downward – 39,3 per 1000 liveborn, but it is desirable to reduce that index to 30 per liveborn

7. GRT– 5 IMPROVEMENT OF MATERNAL HEALTH Calculation of maternal mortality is still a problem Undercalculation of mortality (especially in rural areas), lack of detailed information in cause of death registrations. Registration of women died for pregnancy, childbirth and puerperal period reduced in 2 times 9 from 58 to 29 cases) According to data of the MH (Ministry of Health) of the RT (Republic of Tajikistan) there is stable trend of reduction of house childbirth across the republic in general, though, there is still high percentage of house childbirth at a regional level.

8. GRT – 6 CONTROL OF HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER ILLNESSES Degree of availability of standard HIV/AIDS rates is the lowest among other Aims, administrative resources are based on registration of cases and were not published. A low degree of availability of data is the cause of concern as the HIV/AIDS communication is far greater according to the UNAIDS data. An important link in the strategy of reduction of the HIV/AIDS contamination level is dissemination of detailed information on modes of ultramicrobe transmissions and methods of its prevention, the data providers are the MIKI, DMSE (demographic medical and sanitary enquiry) and other researches which are carried out every 5 years. Problems: Improvement of service system for the population contaminated with the HIV/AIDS, CID (Consumers of Injective Drugs), including the youth as well as improvement of statistical reporting according to the ES (Epidemiological Surveillance) Improvement of monitoring system and estimation of the HIV/AIDS communication

9. GRT-7 PROVISION OF ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY Aim 9. To put sustainable development principles in the international programs and programs which are passed in the country as well as to stop the process of natural resources loss; - Indicators demonstrating the measures for conservation and restoration of natural resources were integrated with the National Strategy of development of the Republic of Tajikistan in 2007-2009. Aim 10. To halve the percentage of population that has no anytime access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation facilities and drugs. According to the MIKI data in 2005 there are 69,5 % of the population (in comparison with the MIKI – 2000 – 57 %) which have access to better sources of drinking water, in urban area – 93,1% and rural – 60,7%. Percentage of the population that had access to canalization was 93,8% in 2005 in comparison with 89,9% in 2000. Aim 11. To provide a significant improvement of housing conditions of the population. -The present statistical reporting does not represent real situation of housing conditions of the population. Issues of research of housing conditions of the population are included in the checklist of census of population and housing in 2010. Results of the census will provide us with detailed information on housing and conditions.

10. GRT - 8 Creation of a global partnership for development Sources of data: The RLP, SHIE (enquiry of household income and expenditure) and administrative resources Additional researches of wellbeing and level of access to computers of the population are necessary

11. Conclusion For control of progress in achieving of the GRT well operating statistic system is necessary, such a system will provide with acute, complete, up-to-date and available data Dynamic development and creation of informational control systems in the ministries will help in improving of quality of presented data in the framework of monitoring conducting and estimation according to the GRT Reinforcement of coordination between departments, purposeful implementation of international standards, improvement of statistic data quality at the world and state levels. Improvement of publications and methods of information dissemination – creation of websites (STAT.TJ)
