The government is investing in improving infrastructure to connect communities, improve economic outcomes, and achieve a more resilient future for its citizens. Tajikistan also remains one of the most isolated countries in the world, a situation made worse by landslides, debris flows and floods that can render bridges unsafe and roads impassable and, through time, weaken the flood defenses which protect its most exposed communities. To secure a resilient future for the country, it is critical that the government protect communities and livelihoods through safer, more reliable transport networks and flood defense, and strengthened emergency services.
