Investing In People

Over the years, USAID has helped Tajikistan deal with multiple health emergencies.  USAID also works to ensure quality, client-oriented, evidence-based, and cost-efficient primary health care services.  Programs enhance HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis prevention and treatment services for the most at-risk populations, improve potable water supply services, and reduce the incidence of water-related diseases.  

To improve primary and secondary education, USAID helps Tajikistan introduce innovative teaching methods that stress critical thinking and active learning.  Programs also support the restructuring of curriculum standards and a country-wide rollout of a new education financing mechanism that will enhance transparency and efficiency in school finance management.  USAID also works with the school community to make schools safer for everyone; especially girls.
