Watershed Health Analysis and Skills Enhancement of National Staff in Tajikistan

The evaluation and quantitative assessment of CaCH rehabilitation effects on soil, water and vegetation - to be used as indication for the watershed health status and its resilience to land degradation, in addition to awareness raising and capacity development of local staff and stakeholders, will contribute to the enhancement of local experts’ capacity to support quantification and documentation of potential impacts of the Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices implemented by the Caritas Switzerland (CaCH) led initiative on watershed restoration and sustainable management in Muminabad district, Tajikistan. It will also serve as evidence to support efficacy in research and development for broad uptake (scaling up and out) of contextually relevant SLM practices and as support to effective policy dialogue on sectoral reform and promulgation of new policies contributing to the improvement of well-being within rural communities in Tajikistan.
