This social assessment (SA) was
conducted under the Fergana Valley Water Resources
Management Project (FVWRMP), which is providing assistance
to the Government of Tajikistan to address irrigation and
drainage deficiencies in Eastern Sughd. The main SA
objectives were to understand how prevailing structures of
water provision, land reforms, and gender relations impact
rural livelihoods; to analyze experiences in establishing
inclusive Water Users Associations (WUAs); and to provide
recommendations to FVWRMP with the aim of enhancing its
programs. The SA targeted nine jamoats divided equally among
Bobojon Ghafurov, Konibodom, and Yovon districts. The two
northern districts were covered by FVWRMP and the Farm
Privatization Support Program (FPSP) operated in the
southern district (Yovon). Yovon's jamoats were
selected specifically to analyze their WUAs formed in
conjunction with farm privatization carried out under FPSP.
Due to the limited number of community-based water
management initiatives in the above-mentioned target areas,
other WUAs were included in this study. A survey
questionnaire was administered to 1275 households. Fifteen
focus groups (mostly-female) and 38 in-depth interviews were
also conducted. The SA results raise stakeholder awareness
of the main water-related issues faced in the target areas
as well as the major factors influencing WUA operations.
While some of the study's recommendations are beyond
the scope of FVWRMP and must be dealt with through other
initiatives, as a response to the SA findings, the project
is now aiming to continue its work on the rehabilitation of
irrigation networks, drainage systems, and reservoir dykes
and to emphasize institutional development through
establishing water users associations and issuing land use certificates. |
