The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Tajikistan Resident Mission (TJRM) reports that during the visit to Tajikistan, ADP President, Mr. Mr. Masato Kanda, joined government officials to unveil ADB’s country partnership strategy for 2026–2030.
Co-created with the government and partners and rooted in national priorities, ADB–Tajikistan’s Country Partnership Strategy 2026–2030 reportedly supports resilient infrastructure, stronger competitiveness, and expanded access to inclusive social services.
This Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) proposes broad-based support in areas that are essential for Tajikistan to enhance governance, strengthen public sector institutions, and improve the business environment and investment climate.
According to the ADB TJRM, Mr. Kanda also visited an ADB-supported modern skills training center in Dushanbe. In Tajikistan, where over half the population is under 25, practical and market-ready education is critical. With a grant from the Asian Development Fund and cofinancing from the Japan Fund for Information and Communication Technology, six modern skills training centers across the country provide youth and adults with skills in agriculture, green energy, information and communication technology, tourism, and other priority sectors.
Since Tajikistan joined ADB in 1998, ADB has committed close to $3 billion in development assistance, making it one of the country’s largest multilateral development partners. The partnership has delivered concrete results including upgrading roads connecting major cities across the country, modernizing key irrigation and water supply systems, and building hospitals and schools. ADB has also supported the construction of power transmission lines and electricity substations, the reconnection of the country’s electrical grid to the Central Asian power network, and the rehabilitation of the Nurek and Golovnaya hydropower plants.
ADB is a leading multilateral development bank supporting inclusive, resilient, and sustainable growth across Asia and the Pacific. Founded in 1966, the Asian Development Bank is owned by 69 members—50 from the region.
