Adaptive and Resilient Communities in their Habitat (ARCH)
The project aims at supporting the remote mountainous communities of Pamirs and authorities in developing resilient habitat and improving people's livelihoods in Tajikistan. This will be achieved through reducing vulnerabilities to natural hazards while strengthening participative disaster risk governance as well as joint definition and implementation of relevant risk reduction measures.

Contesto |
The World Bank identified Tajikistan as the most vulnerable and least resilient country to climate change in Europe and Central Asia. The International Panel for Climate Change reported that temperatures in Tajikistan would rise from 1.8 °C to 2.9 °C by 2050. From 1992 to 2016 disasters affected 7 million people in Tajikistan and caused economic losses of US$1.8 billion. According to the data of the Government of Tajikistan, the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast is one of the disaster-hot spot regions of the country, highly exposed to earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, droughts, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF). The disasters disrupting the Pamirs’ remote mountain communities normal functioning, resulting in human, material, economic, and environmental losses. Furthermore, with a significant scarcity of resources, including productive land coupled with a growing population, people forced to expand their settlements in hazard areas and farm activities onto sloping lands. These challenges aggravated by relatively higher poverty level in the region due to a lack of employment opportunities, businesses, and other appropriate industries. Lack of coordination, inadequate institutional capacities, weak systems and internal resources as well as knowledge base to facilitate efficient risk-informed and gender-balanced planning are some of the critical challenges. SDC will contribute to the initiative of the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) to address those challenges and needs in this project. |
Obiettivi | Resilient habitats and improved livelihoods through reduced vulnerability and strengthened disaster risk governance. |
Gruppi target | Over the course of four years, the project will cover about 135,000 women and men. |
Effetti a medio termine |
Outcome 1: Authorities manage disaster risks effectively and in a participatory manner. Outcome 2: Government structures at all levels (national, oblast, district, jamoat) systematically incorporate disaster risk aspects into their development planning and budgeting. Outcome 3: Communities and authorities design and implement effective disaster risk reduction measures. |
Risultati |
Risultati principali attesi: Risultati fasi precedenti: For the past ten years, Aga Khan Agency for Habitat, with the continuous support of the Government of Switzerland and other donors, has implemented several resilience-building initiatives of which disaster risk management was a significant component. The works were undertaken to understand hazard risks, improve institutional and local disaster preparedness, strengthen government and community’ disaster response capabilities and consolidate disaster-related knowledge. These efforts complemented national and communities’ efforts in successfully managing disaster risks,safeguarding lives and livelihoods, and enabling more sustainable investment in economic and social development initiatives.
