The 4Assist team mobilised in this mission provided assistance to the Government of Tajikistan in strengthening the NDS-2030 and MtDP-2020 implementation mechanisms by linking them to sector planning and budgeting processes.

The team provided comprehensive guidance to the government to support strategic planning on central and regional level. We assisted in developing the sector strategic plans and establishing links to the budget preparation in the medium-term, enabling to build a fully operational MTEF (medium term expenditure framework), including program based budgeting.

In the health sector, our team provided support to the relevant institutions (especially the Ministry of Health – MHSPP) to review of ongoing mechanisms and processes for strategic planning and budgeting, providing clear indications and recommendations for improvement on the elaboration of sector development strategies.
