IDLO has operated in Tajikistan since 2012, with a focus on strengthening the country’s legal systems to support economic growth and improve access to justice.
We do this by working with the Government of Tajikistan to address structural challenges within the justice sector.
Currently, IDLO is assisting the Government in the development of a dedicated law on mediation and the promotion of commercial mediation as a practical and effective method for dispute resolution.
Over the years, our work has also contributed to the establishment and strengthening of timely enforcement measures for court decisions through mechanisms including the bailiff service.
These initiatives aim to foster a sustainable foundation for Tajikistan’s long-term legal and economic resilience. They also help to build trust within the commercial landscape and position the country for future growth.
Tajikistan Capital Sees Revival of Law Library
One of the key elements of IDLO’s Commercial Law Judicial Training Program in Tajikistan is the establishment of a commercial law section at the Judicial Training Center (JTC) library in Dushanbe.
Boosting East-East Cooperation in Central Asia
For the past ten years, both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have been working toward judicial reform, sharing common challenges along the way. Yet while Kyrgyzstan has opened up to the international community and shown positive change, Tajikistan has been more reluctant.
Legal Resources for the Tajik Economy
In 2011, IDLO opened an office in Dushanbe, with the stated aim of giving the entire Tajik judiciary a grounding in commercial law. To this end, we have partnered with the Supreme Court of Tajikistan, the Council of Justice and the Judicial Training Centre (JTC). The country, which is negotiating access to the World Trade Organization, has received minimal foreign investment to date. We are building the capacity of Tajik judges on topics including property rights, land contract and privatization disputes, creditor rights and secured assets, and corporate governance.
Judicial Independence in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
The Bishkek Forum, held in the Kyrgyz capital in March 2013, was an international conference organized by IDLO to strengthen the independence of the judiciary and improve the administration of justice across much of the former Soviet space. The Forum drew chief justices from host nation Kyrgyzstan, neighbors Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, as well as regional superpower Russia, Georgia and Ukraine to discuss the effective and transparent management of courts.

Key Initiatives

The economy and banking sectors of Tajikistan face a number of factors affecting the country’s business environment, including high interest rates and weak enforcement. At the core of the banking crisis is the fact that banks do not use the judiciary to support the enforcement of contracts. This in turn affects the construction sector, which, despite the challenging banking environment, is experiencing considerable growth. The justice system in its current condition is not able to address the construction sector disputes that inevitably surface as the sector expands.
