The UNDP Tajikistan Rule of Law programme consists of two parts where the MFA funded project (4 years) will focus on strengthening the capacity of specific institutions such as Ombudsman office, State Registration Bodies and local authorities to build their capacity to implement laws and human rights recommendations and provide better registration services to citizens. Final beneficiaries will be Tajik citizens and special attention will be given to the vulnerable groups such as rural women, children and youth at risk and disabled people who will receive legal aid in the regions and whose basic legal awareness will be raised. - The project will improve the living conditions of rural single mothers and their families. According to UNDP about 70% of active male labour force are at least a part of a year working abroad as labour migrants. The lack of identity documents prevents from getting education and health services and from starting economic activities.
