The leadership of the state and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, particularly through the initiatives and continuous support of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, alongside the development of other sectors of the national economy, has undertaken essential measures for the construction, rehabilitation, and restoration of water supply and wastewater facilities in cities and districts across the country, ensuring the phased provision of clean drinking water to the population.
With the comprehensive support of the State and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, as well as the financial assistance of development partners, a number of state investment projects aimed at supplying clean drinking water to the population are being implemented nationwide.
In this regard, within the framework of cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), a grant agreement totaling 14.0 million USD was signed on 8 August 2024 between the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Agency.
Accordingly, on 15 September 2025, the official foundation stone laying ceremony for the “Improvement of the Water Supply System in the Abdurahmoni Jomi District” project was held in the Abdurahmoni Jomi district of Khatlon Province.
Certainly, these fruitful partnerships with development partners and allies of the Republic of Tajikistan are the result of the successful and constructive foreign policy pursued by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and continue to expand.
The ceremonial event was attended by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan, Ms. Furuta Keiko; the representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in the Republic of Tajikistan, Imai Seiju; the Deputy Chairman of the Housing and Communal Services Committee under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, Abdulaziz Dostizoda; the Deputy Chairman of Khatlon Province, Amirhon Qurbonzoda; the General Director of the State Unitary Enterprise “Housing and Communal Services” of the Committee’s system, Parviz Karimzoda; the Chairman of Abdurahmoni Jomi District, Mahmud Amirzoda; project implementation teams; and representatives of construction companies.
According to the project, construction work began in September 2025 and will be completed in 2027. As a result of the effective implementation of the “Improvement of the Water Supply System in the Abdurahmoni Jomi District” project, the district center and seven surrounding villages – a total of 50,000 residents – will be provided with round-the-clock access to clean and safe drinking water.
These efforts are a logical continuation of the International Decade for Action “Water for Sustainable Development” (2018–2028) and the constructive and innovative initiatives of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, aimed at the development, prosperity, and improvement of the living standards and quality of life of the population.
