Abstract:
The GIZ Transboundary Water Management
in Central Asia programme
supports Tajik-Kyrgyz cooperation
on the shared Isfara river basin by
means of sustainable basin planning
and management through capacity
building. In addition, the rehabilitation
of small-scale infrastructure
and automatised flow measurement
systems ensure a safe and fair allocation
of water resources. As a result,
improved water management and
infrastructure in the Isfara River contribute
to better information and water
availability for more than 200,000
agricultural water users across both
countries. Alongside already established
methods of transboundary
cooperation in the basin, which has
complicated boundary issues, the hereinafter
described measures counteract
latent tensions among Tajik
and Kyrgyz communities over the limited
resource of arable land, which
is closely linked to water.
The GIZ Transboundary Water Management
in Central Asia programme
is implemented on behalf of the German
Federal Foreign Office and cofunded
by the European Union.
