Following is a Web version of a document from USAID's 1997 Congressional Presentation . Please note that some formatting may have been lost in the automated conversion of the original file. This document is also available for download in its original WordPerfect 5.1 format TAJIKISTAN FY 1997 Assistance to the NIS Request: $5,000,000 Introduction. The Development Challenge. An average per capita GDP of approximately $400 places Tajikistan firmly in the ranks of the world's least developed countries. Even during the Soviet era it was the poorest of the Soviet republics with a per capita GDP of $1,100. Its economy was based almost entirely on aluminum exports and a cotton monoculture. Social services were maintained at an artificially high level with subsidies from Moscow. The collapse of the Soviet Union, followed by the outbreak of civil war in May 1992, thus hit Tajikistan especially hard. The civil war left at least 50,000 dead, displaced 700,000 within the country and resulted in an outflow of at least 75,000 refugees to Afghanistan. Many refugees subsequently returned to rebuild their homes, but the harsh economic consequences of the civil war continue to take their toll. Thousands of homes and hundreds of schools and medical units were destroyed. The war also left behind 55,000 orphans, 25,000 widows and a legacy of hatred and suspicion that makes reconstruction difficult. Political consensus has yet to be achieved, despite cease fire agreements and continuing rounds of UN-mediated peace talks involving government and opposition groups. In addition, in early 1996 two groups of government supporters outside the capital rebelled in an effort to force personnel changes. The government quickly agreed to some changes in return for disarming the rebels. Nonetheless, the political situation remains fragile. Rule of law is rarely observed and violence at times seems endemic.
