The EBRD is providing financing for a programme of priority capital investments, to improve the municipal solid waste management services in the City of Khujand, the capital of Soughd Province in the north of the country.
National Policy Dialogues (NPDs) support water sector reforms in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) through assistance to Governments in: development and implementation of water strategies and legislation based on IWRM principles; strengthening intersectoral cooperation to improve water and health and implement the UNECE/WHO-Europe Protocol on Water and Health, in particular by setting and implementing targets on the whole water cycle and on the water and health nexus; development of national policies for the management of transboundary waters in accordance with the Water Convention and other international environmental instruments.

Reports on climate risks in CA, specially in Kyrgyzstan, focussed on water, from a practical, hydrological and geographic point of view, scientific analysis, technical analysis, authored by Camp Alatoo in collaboration with UNDP Central Asia Climate Risk Management Program content: The Climate Risk Assessment Guide – Central Asia provides a clear and practical process to assess the impacts and outcomes of climate-related events on lives and livelihoods in Central Asia. The need the Guide arises from the region’s arid climate and the livelihoods systems based on this climate, significant impacts from climate-related damage, and regional infrastructure not designed to reflect current capacities to address climate risk impacts. Short and long-term climate risks threaten poverty reduction and developmental sustainability. Existing climate impact reports for Central Asia need to be complemented by assessment results that downscale the understanding of climate impacts in ways that support sub-national climate risk management.
The Guide is divided into three broad sections:
* Conceptual background to risk assessment,
* Methodological approaches and procedures for the Central Asia assessments process, and
* A step-by-step process for conducting assessments based leading to the development of climate risk assessment profiles or other practical outputs.

This report describes the role of glaciers in the stream flow of the rivers of the Aral Basin. The study area contains the mountain basins at the headwaters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, located primarily in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and western Tien Shan mountains. The Amu Darya study area includes the mountain basins of the Vakhsh and Panj rivers; the Syr Darya study area includes the mountain basins of the Naryn, Kara, and Chirchik rivers, and a number of small basins on the north-facing slopes of the Alai Range. There are presently no credible conceptual models describing the hydrometeorological environments of the high mountains of Asia that quantify the glacier melt component. Furthermore, there is a general lack of sufficient data to test hypotheses that relate glaciers and rivers, either as a result of a lack of a current monitoring program, or as a result of a reluctance to share these data on the part of some governments. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of the glaciers in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, Karakoram, Alai, and Tien Shan mountains in the volume and timing of stream flow of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, and, in terms of these finding, to discuss the implications of the general retreat of glaciers for the water resources. Results are presented primarily in graphical and tabular form, and only the most salient conclusions are drawn.
Project Development Objective
The objective of the Central Asia Hydrometeorology Modernization Project (CAHMP) is to
improve the accuracy and timeliness of hydromet services in Central Asia, with particular focus
on Kyrgyz Republic and Republic of Tajikistan.
Project description
The CAHMP proposes three components:
Component A: Strengthening regional coordination and information sharing: This component
will ensure that each of the National Hydrometeorological Services (NHMSs) in the region can
share, use, exchange and archive common hydromet data and information, and that each agency
has a comparable level of expertise in the production of information and delivery of hydromet
services.
Component B: Strengthening of Hydromet Services in Kyrgyz Republic: The component will
help strengthen Kyrgyzhydromet to ensure that it has the infrastructure and capability to
sustainably observe, forecast and deliver weather, water and climate services that meet the
country’s identified economic and societal needs.
Component C: Strengthening of Hydromet Services in Republic of Tajikistan: The component
will help strengthen Tajikhydromet to ensure that it has the infrastructure and capability to
sustainably observe, forecast and deliver weather, water and climate services that meet the
country’s identified economic and societal needs.
The objective of the Environmental Land Management and Rural Livelihoods Project for Tajikistan is to enable rural people to increase their productive assets in ways that improve natural resource management and resilience to climate change in selected climate vulnerable sites. The project has 3 components. (1) Rural production and land resource management investments component will provide financing in the form of small grants for subcomponents: 1.1. Sustainable village-based rural production and land resource management, and grants for the management plans under sub-component 1.2. Larger-scale initiatives in sustainable community land management. (2) Knowledge management and institutional support component will provide facilitation services and technical and institutional support for rural populations to plan, implement and manage rural investments. Relevant data collection and analysis, and information exchange for wider adoption of sustainable land management will also be supported. (3) Project management and coordination component will finance the operating costs of an Implementation Group (IG) within the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP) to carry out project management functions.
