ADB Grant to Further Improve Transport Connectivity and Safety in Tajikistan

ADB's Board of Directors has approved a $90 million grant as additional financing for the rehabilitation of a 40-km road to improve connectivity between Dushanbe and Kurgonteppa and enhance highway network safety.

With some of the world’s highest mountains covering a staggering 93% of its territory, Tajikistan faces some obvious obstacles to its development. These include a lack of reliable power supply, unstable food security, limited transport connectivity, and low levels of private investment.

Due to its narrow economic base and a heavy reliance on remittances by labor migrants, Tajikistan’s economy remains vulnerable to external shocks.

ADB's country partnership strategy, 2016–2020 for Tajikistan has broad objectives to diversify the economy and create more high-income jobs.

Tajikistan is a member of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program.
