Tajikistan's World Bank-funded resilience project (2020-2025) trained over 10,000 disadvantaged youth in Khatlon and Gorno-Badakhshan in digital literacy, entrepreneurship and critical thinking, raising women's participation in project decisions from 0% to 56%.
Between 2020 and 2025, the National Social Investment Fund of Tajikistan (NSIFT), with World Bank financing, delivered the Socio-Economic Resilience Strengthening Project in Dushanbe, Khatlon region and Gorno-Badakhshan, targeting economically disadvantaged youth aged 16-30.
The project aimed to build resilience among disadvantaged youth through integrated training combining social entrepreneurship, critical thinking, healthy-lifestyle education and digital literacy skills.
The project refurbished 17 youth centres to support training delivery, completed 53 community infrastructure projects by 2023, and provided a pathway from training into entrepreneurship-focused livelihood support for a subset of participants.
More than 10,000 youth were trained across the two-region programme, of whom 5,279 advanced to entrepreneurship livelihood support. Women's participation in planning and decision-making rose from 0% to 56%.
Because digital literacy was delivered as part of a bundled soft-skills package, the reported outcomes cannot be attributed to the digital-literacy component alone, and the World Bank's results reporting provides administrative monitoring data without a control group.
