Evidence snapshot for Tajikistan
Tajikistan has pursued multiple strategies to expand digital skills and economic opportunity, particularly for marginalised youth. The Pamir Innovation Hub's impact sourcing model trained 80+ young people in its first cohort and a further 83 by 2019, with graduates founding a data-entry firm now serving 500+ US businesses and employing 45 people, though this reaches only a small fraction of the NEET youth population in remote Khorog. The National Bank introduced a Unified QR Code System that increased non-cash transactions by 34.9% in number and 51.0% in value year-on-year to June 2025, though a 16-point account-ownership gender gap persists. Beyond economic initiatives, a combined gender-dialogue and livelihoods programme reduced women's reports of intimate-partner violence from 66.4% to 37.2% over 30 months while raising women earning income from 17.9% to 56.6%.
