From 31 October to 2 November 2024, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe (POiD), in co-operation with the Republican Training and Methodological Centre (RTMC) of the Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defence (CoESCD), conducted a comprehensive training course in Khujand. This initiative brought together 20 participants, including seven women and 13 men, who were branch heads and instructors from various districts in the Sughd region.

The training aimed to enhance the participants' understanding of the updated curricula and methodological guides developed by the RTMC, which were printed with the support of POiD. In addition to theoretical knowledge, participants received practical guidance from RTMC instructors on how to integrate these updates into their educational work plans, ultimately enriching the overall teaching process.

“Training is not just about imparting knowledge; it is about empowering individuals to respond effectively in times of crisis. By investing in the education of our instructors, we are building a resilient foundation for our communities and ensuring they are prepared for any emergency," said Lieutenant Colonel Jamshed Kuchakov, Deputy Head of the CoESD branch in the Sughd region. "This initiative is an important step in fostering a culture of safety and preparedness in our society,” added Kuchakov.

This training course marks the third initiative organized by POiD this year to support CoESD. These activities align with the strategic objectives of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 and Tajikistan’s Mid-Term State Programme for the Protection of Population and Territories from Emergency Situations for 2023-2028.
