On October 16, 2025, as part of the work plan of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Committee on State Structure and Local Self-Government organized a round table on the topic “Prospects and Development of Legislation on Settlements and Villages in the Context of Globalization.”
The event was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Committee for Local Development under the Government of Tajikistan, members of parliament, officials from various ministries and state agencies, legal experts, scholars, and representatives of the executive authorities of the cities of Hisor, Vahdat, and Rudaki district.
The main goal of the round table was to discuss the priorities and challenges in the development of legislation related to settlements and rural areas, to strengthen the legal foundation for local self-governance, establish effective cooperation mechanisms, and support the sustainable development of urban and rural communities in the country.
It was noted that thanks to the fair and forward-looking policies of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, the local governance system has achieved notable progress.
The Law of the Republic of Tajikistan “On the Self-Government Bodies of Settlements and Villages”, which has been improved in recent years, creates favorable conditions for active citizen participation in addressing key local issues.
Participants of the event proposed a number of suggestions and recommendations that could contribute significantly to the further development of legislation and the design of future government programs in the area of local governance.
