Social Assessment in Tajikistan Brings Rural Realities to Urban Decisionmakers
A social assessment was done during the
preparation of Tajikistan's Pilot Poverty Alleviation
Project to answer several key questions: What are the poor
people's priority needs and wants? Why are they poor?
What are their own strategies for improving their lives?
And how can they be helped to improve their circumstances?
By answering these questions, the social assessment helped
the project team incorporate poor people's priorities
for poverty alleviation, identify nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) whose scaled-up programs would form
part of the project, understand and address risks to project
success, build local capacity to carry out participatory
research, and influence the national dialogue on poverty and
the potential role of small-scale, participatory
microprojects for poverty alleviation. The Pilot Poverty
Alleviation Project is designed to improve poor
people's lives by scaling-up international NGO programs
and financing small, participatory microprojects through the
recently established Tajikistan Social Investment Fund.
