Economic activities

To assist Tajikistan in expanding its international economic relations, the Programme Office supports cross-border markets and free economic zones on the Tajik-Afghan border by providing expert advice. In the Rasht Valley, an area that in the past experienced armed clashes between insurgents and government forces, it supports the dialogue between authorities and business owners to improve the investment climate there, and involve local authorities more in national policy-making. The Programme Office also helps the government promote foreign investment in Tajikistan by bringing together Tajik and international business at annual international economic forums in the country’s regions.
