The DHS, a nationwide survey on women’s and children’s health and domestic violence, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), was carried out by the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan in coordination with the Tajik Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population.
Close to11, 000 women between the ages of 15 and 49 from almost eight thousand households across the country were reportedly interviewed as part of the survey.
Results from the 2017 DHS will provide decision makers with databases and analyses useful for forming new and updated policies, planning appropriate programs, and monitoring and evaluating existing programs.
The DHS results and additional survey information will soon be available on the official Website of the Statistical Agency: http://www.stat.tj and the USAID DHS program Website: https://dhsprogram.com.
The Demographic and Health Survey is one of the many assistance projects made possible by the American people through USAID in collaboration of the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of Tajikistan.
Since Tajikistan’s independence, the U.S. government has provided more than $1.8 billion in assistance for programs that support Tajikistan’s security, democratic institutions, social sector, and economic growth. USAID is the world’s premier international development agency and a catalytic actor driving development results.
