| Title: | Tajikistan - Community-based Agricultural Support Project (CASP) - October 2023 |
| Description: |
Mahmadrasul Mirgoziev Buglater (left), accountant, and Mirzosho Akobirov (right, Chief of the Jafr Village Organization (VO) in Jafr Village in north-eastern Tajikistan’s Rasht District sit in the mobile office provided by the CASP project. Among other things, Mahmadrasul is responsible for scheduling and collecting fees for services provided by the VO’s construction and agricultural machinery. In the past, the VO did not have an office. Mahmadrasul and other VO officers, all of whom have received technical trainings from CASP, used to keep files in their homes, making it a challenge to be well organized or to host community meetings. Any time they needed to print a document or make a photocopy, they had to travel to the city. CASP provided them with a mobile office and everything they needed to run the organization efficiently - printer and computer, furniture. It also offers a convenient place to convene small meetings with the VO Board and community members. The Community-based Agriculture Support Project (CASP) stimulates inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in rural Tajikistan. Its activities help communities and dehkan (smallholder) family farmers access productive infrastructure and services, leading to sustainable agricultural production, equitable income-generating opportunities, and improved living standards. CASP works with village organizations (VOs) to develop community-driven action plans that define their own improvement initiatives. Village-level participation in decision making is critical to the success of these plans and helps establish a sense of community ownership and cohesion. |
