摘要

Now, water supply and sanitary in Tajikistan are neither safe, nor adequate There are some reasons of bad condition of water and sanitary services in Tajikistan. As well as in other sectors, the difficulties caused by the post Soviet transition to market economy and civil war, have worsened an infrastructure of water supply. A low level of official budgetary appropriations and difficulties with gathering payment at water-users has strongly limited internal financing, which has appeared insufficiently to execute essential requirements of capital investments. Even if financing would be increased, it is doubtful, that bodies of water supply could effectively to distribute resources in sector with account of its many urgent needs. In addition to investments structural reforms are necessary for increase efficiency of maintenance services and strengthening of stimulus of rational water consumption. Achievement planned PMD for maintenance with water will demand providing of access to safe water in addition for 3 million peoples for the period from 2005 till 2015. According to estimations, hardly more than 1 million from them will be born in areas, where the improved water systems have been already the New infrastructure of water supply should be constructed to provide access for other 2 million people, overwhelming majority from which live in rural areas. As it is marked by Government of the Tajikisran in National Strategy for Reduction of Poverty (NSRP) as city areas already have more expanded access to an infrastructure of water supply, the policy should be concentrated on improvement on service for agricultural population. Unfortunately, by present time small progress in this direction has been reached. If the situation soon and essentially will not change hardly Tajikistan can reach planned for it PMD in sphere of maintenance with water.
