necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving nationally
determined contributions under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, including
information on mitigation policies and measures, compiled and reported.
Outcome 2 Integrated
management of climate and environmental risk.
Output 2.3 Institutions have
strengthened capacities to develop, manage and deliver policies, strategies,
and actions for climate resilient, disaster responsive and green/low carbon
development
Preparatory activities for
NDC progress reporting were initiated through development of implementation
arrangements, preparation of consultant Terms of Reference, and confirmation of
methodologies and stakeholder engagement mechanisms to support reporting on
mitigation policies, measures and progress towards implementation of the
Nationally Determined Contribution.
Output level results
Outcome 4: Information on
financial, technology development and transfer and capacity-building support
needed and received compiled and updated, including other relevant information
and supplemental NC chapters.
Outcome 2 Integrated
management of climate and environmental risk.
Output 2.3 Institutions have
strengthened capacities to develop, manage and deliver policies, strategies,
and actions for climate resilient, disaster responsive and green/low carbon
development
Preparatory arrangements for
reporting on financial, technology transfer and capacity-building support were
established. Reporting methodologies, institutional coordination and
implementation planning were initiated to support preparation of the relevant
NC5/BTR2 chapters
Output level results
Outcome1: National GHG
inventory and supporting documentation compiled and updated for the period
1990-2022 as part of the first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) and for the
period 1990-2024 as part of the combined Fifth National Communication and Seco
Outcome 2 Integrated
management of climate and environmental risk.
Output 2.3 Institutions have
strengthened capacities to develop, manage and deliver policies, strategies,
and actions for climate resilient, disaster responsive and green/low carbon
development
Preparatory work for the
National GHG Inventory was initiated. Terms of Reference for technical experts
were developed, institutional arrangements for data collection and reporting
were confirmed, and implementation planning for preparation of the National
Inventory Report and supporting documentation was completed. Coordination
mechanisms with the Implementing Partner and relevant stakeholders were
established to support inventory preparation in accordance with IPCC Guidelines
and ETF reporting requirements.

Outcome 2 Integrated
management of climate and environmental risk.
Output 2.3 Institutions have
strengthened capacities to develop, manage and deliver policies, strategies,
and actions for climate resilient, disaster responsive and green/low carbon
development
Project regularly monitored,
inception workshop organized, lessons learned compiled and disseminated

Outcome 5: Tajikistan’s BTR1
and combined NC5/BTR2 prepared in accordance with the methodological guidance
contained in decisions 18/CMA.1 and 5/CMA.3 and submitted to the UNFCCC.
Outcome 2 Integrated
management of climate and environmental risk.
Output 2.3 Institutions have
strengthened capacities to develop, manage and deliver policies, strategies,
and actions for climate resilient, disaster responsive and green/low carbon
development
The foundation for
preparation of the combined NC5/BTR2 report was established through project
operationalization, approval of implementation arrangements, preparation of
Annual Work Plans, development of technical Terms of Reference, and agreement
on the overall reporting process, quality assurance and coordination mechanisms.
Project level results
The project inception phase
has been successfully completed. The Inception Workshop and the first Project
Steering Committee meeting were conducted, confirming project governance
arrangements, implementation priorities, and stakeholder commitments. Annual
Work Plans and indicative budgets for 2025–2026 were prepared and endorsed in
principle, while Terms of Reference for key consultancies and project
governance documents were developed. The Standard Letter of Agreement with the
Implementing Partner was signed, project management arrangements were
established, the monitoring and evaluation framework and risk register were
updated, and preparations for recruitment of the project team and technical
consultants were initiated. The PSC also agreed in principle to pursue a major
project amendment to reallocate unspent BTR1 resources to BTR3 and extend the
project implementation period, subject to UNDP and GEF approval.

Key Challenges Encountered
Project level results
The project experienced a
delayed start due to the time required for project approval and
operationalization, resulting in a compressed implementation period. To address
this challenge, the Project Steering Committee agreed in principle to initiate
a major project amendment to extend the implementation period and reallocate
unspent resources from BTR1 to support BTR3 activities, subject to UNDP and GEF
approval. Additional efforts were required to revise the implementation
schedule, update the Annual Work Plans, and prepare the necessary amendment
documentation to ensure timely delivery of project outputs.

Project Risks and Issues
The primary implementation risk is the delayed project
start, which has reduced the available implementation period and may affect the
timely delivery of planned outputs. The project also depends on the timely
recruitment of technical experts, availability of sectoral data from
participating institutions, and coordination among multiple national
stakeholders. Delays in obtaining technical inputs or approvals could impact
preparation and submission of the NC5/BTR2. To mitigate these risks, the
Project Steering Committee endorsed preparation of a major project amendment to
extend the implementation period and reallocate unspent resources, subject to
UNDP and GEF approval. The project has also established a detailed
implementation schedule, strengthened coordination mechanisms with the
Implementing Partner and Technical Working Groups, and initiated recruitment of
key consultants to support timely implementation
