AKF supports development of civil society in Tajikistan

In Tajikistan, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) aims to develop resilient, values-based civil societies, which demonstrate greater competency, legitimacy, accountability, and sustainability. Community-based civil society structures are the foundations of development. Since 1993, AKF has engaged over 1,900 village organisations to empower women, men and youth to meaningfully participate in local decision-making processes. AKF establishes, strengthens, and partners with community-based civil society organisations (CSOs) representing over 1.4 million rural constituents in governance, education, health, emergency management, water and sanitation, and natural resource management sectors.
