Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
Tajikistan National Development Strategy (NDC) 2030 takes the Sustainable Development Goals into consideration and addresses good governance among others as a priority. One of the main areas of activities in the field of public administration reform is strengthening institutional capacity and operationalization through the expansion of digital technologies. Increasing effectiveness, efficiency, and ensuring good governance in the public sector is important for the successful development of the country. Expanding support for structural reforms and human capital development focused on addressing peoples livelihoods will contribute to relieving the constraints of a landlocked country.
The increasing demand by the government and development partners for fast and quality results from development projects requires a sound and sustainable operational system that reinforces good governance in project management. Foreign assistance projects support the government in addressing its development objectives, but weak understanding of project performance ratings and monitoring of project outputs and outcome with more focus on contract award and disbursement is common at central and sector government agencies.
ADB continuously explains that five parameters are used by the ADB in assessing the project performance, which correspond to a projects rating. In turn, the project-level performance ratings determine the overall portfolio performance of Tajikistan. The country portfolio performance is also assessed during the country performance assessments undertaken for ADBs developing member countries under its policy for performance-based allocation of concessional assistance resources. It is therefore critical that the health of the projects based on the different parameters is ensured given its impact on the volume of resources that Tajikistan would get from ADB concessional assistance in the future. Subject to the annual debt distress classification and achievement of agreed policy actions under the Sustainable Development Finance Policy, the final allocation will depend on the available resources and the outcome of the country performance assessments.
