AKDN around the world in pictures
Aga Khan Academies
Tajikistan is vulnerable to natural disasters, including mudslides, flooding and avalanches, particularly in mountainous areas such as the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO). In April this year, in collaboration with the GBAO Committee of Emergency Situations and Civil Defence, and the local government including the police division and fire department, the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat took part in a joint emergency management drill and simulation exercise to test preparedness for natural disasters and emergency situations. This image shows a mother and her young child who are being supported by Emergency Management Staff from the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat, as part of the simulation exercise.

This page is also available inAs the end of 2018 approaches, we share with you this gallery of some of our favourite pictures from AKDN projects around the world. Although these photographs only represent about half the countries that AKDN operates in, and only a small fraction of the work undertaken by its agencies, they are important reminders of how AKDN’s work benefits millions around the world. We take this opportunity to thank the thousands of staff and volunteers that make all of this work possible.
