Nineteen countries of the world provided 2.639.7 million US dollars; worth of 445.4 tons of humanitarian aid to Tajikistan in 2022, according to the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan.
In value, this is almost 12 times fewer compared to January of the previous year. In January 2021, twenty-six countries of the world provided US$30.4 million worth of humanitarian aid to Tajikistan.
In January this year, among donor countries the greatest share reportedly came from China – 43.3 percent; the United States – 15.6 percent; Turkiye – 15.3 percent; Denmark – 4.7 percent; Germany – 3.8 percent; the Netherlands and the Republic of Korea – 3.7 percent each; Mexico – 2.7 percent; Russia – 2.0 percent; Barbados – 1.9 percent; Kazakhstan – 1.4 percent; Norway – 1.1 percent; and others.
Tajikistan belongs to low-income countries, who receive humanitarian aid as well as financial aid from international financial institutions — grants and highly concessional loans, technical aid.
A total cost of humanitarian aid received by Tajikistan last year is 2.5 times higher than grants of international financial institutions planned for 2023 to support the country’s public budget.
