Food assistance To protect the population from further shocks and from sliding further into poverty and food insecurity, a top priority must be to support the most vulnerable and build upon their fragile support mechanisms. Thus, the first component of the project will provide unconditional food assistance to severely food insecure households. the second component in the project, building resilience through cash for assets creation, is an evolution from unconditional to conditional support, envisaged as medium-term shock-responsive social assistance that will maintain the food security situation of vulnerable households by building livelihoods. Third, evidence generation is crucial to ensure communities, the government, and assistance mechanisms are prepared not to just respond to but to mitigate future shocks. Thus, the final component of the project is data collection for food security and market monitoring. The approach will allow for shifting from basic and fundamental social support to preparedness and shock-response and vice versa, thus maintaining the humanitarian-development nexus.
TAJ SO 2.11 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Strengthened Democratic Culture among Citizens and Target Institutions
Culture of Lawfulness Foster and maintain a culture that is generally law-abiding, including through legal literacy, public awareness, constituency building, and citizen engagement in legal processes. Ensure that the public is educated about laws and regulations, perceives laws as legitimate and worthy of adherence, and respects the authority of law and legal institutions. Develop citizen demand for an effective and accountable justice system, and develop associations to advocate for all citizens. This includes programs that spur a culture of lawfulness by changing beliefs and attitudes by socializing people into a rule of law culture and changing norms so that people abide by the law. This includes ROL programs or civil society programs with a very specific focus on rule of law related citizen awareness and education, i.e., supporting civil society organizations to participate in public hearings as part of a larger effort to strengthen the parliament or working with a civil society organization to provide legal representation of indigent populations as part of an overall judicial strengthening strategy.
Prevention and Treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition in Tajikistan (Tajikistan):  Optimal health and nutrition are fundamental to achieve USAID's wider mission to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing U.S. national security and prosperity. The project supports World Food Program (WFP), under the Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme (TSFP), to assist malnourished children over a period of 12 months in 140 Primary Health Centers (PHCs) in Khatlon region through provision of specialized nutritious food. The targeted districts were selected jointly with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Population, taking into consideration the high malnutrition rate and the capacity of the public health centers both in terms of human resources and infrastructure. This is done in order to ensure proper implementation and the possibility of replicating sustainable models in other regions. With FY 2018 funds, USAID will purchase 60 metric tons of specified nutritious food (Super Cereal Plus) for malnourished children in Khatlon region. WFP has been implementing this program in Tajikistan for several years and are the experts in the field. USAID is providing additional funding to enable the project to continue and expand to two more districts. This also provides necessary funding to start the implementation of the electronic registration on the PHC level for the project beneficiaries to improve registration, program adherence and performance tracking. These interventions contribute to the USAID/State Department's Joint Strateic Plan Mission Objective 3.3: Improve the quality of Tajikistan's health, education, and social services so that citizens may achieve their full human development potential and contribute to Tajikistan's social and economic growth..
