UNDP and TMAC will build their relationships with governmental partners by working in greater coordination and collaboration with key national and sub-national authorities, and providing targeted capacity building initiatives to its partners. Joint programming and project implementation will be pursued in line with priorities in the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). Working in greater strategic partnership will help to ensure proper alignment of UNDP’s country programme implementation with the UNDAF, the governmental strategic plans and donor’s strategies.
UNDP and TMAC are in cooperation with the national partners developed new Country Strategy for Mine Action for 2010-2015, which was endorsed by the Government in April 2011. The vision of the Strategy corresponds to the priority of the country – being free of the landmine threat and ERWs, ensuring that (i) the Government of Tajikistan is in a position to comply with its international obligations related to landmines and Explosive Remnants of War, (ii) all priority areas will be cleared by the end of 2015, (iii) the national mine action programme efficiently supports the Poverty Reduction strategy, National Development Strategy and other socio-economic development strategies of the Government.
Based on the Strategy vision and goals UNDP has developed its Project Document on “Support to the Tajikistan Mine Action Programme”, which aims at promoting the principles of the national ownership, institutional and technical capacity building as well as corresponding to key requirements of the International Mine Action Standards. This Project Document draws a comprehensive roadmap on building on the existing momentum and developing further existing capacity to ensure that Tajikistan complies with its obligations under the Ottawa Convention and its protocols. The specific objectives of the project are articulated around the main components of the mine action programme: 1) Support the capacity of Tajikistan Mine Action Centre (TMAC) to coordinate, regulate, plan and monitor all mine action activities in the country; 2) Strengthening the de-mining operations of the Tajikistan Mine Action Programme; 3) Changing in mine/ERW victims’ lives; 4) Building a safe environment for the communities through Mine Risk Education.
The main approach of the Strategy as well as the UNDP MA Prodoc, is to promote close collaboration with international and national stakeholders. Therefore, TMAC will increase the existing partnership as well as seek new collaborative links in mine-related area. Gender policy will also be a part of the strategy. Gender approach will be used in national mine action activities to promote gender mainstreaming and gender balance in programming, mainly through involvement of vulnerable group of people of both sexes and provide equal opportunities for boys and girls, women and men.
