CAMP Forum and the Regional Meeting of Mountain Partnership in Tajikstan
The three-day CAMP forum on sustainable mountain development in Central Asia took place on October 4-6, 2012, in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Titled ‘Sustainable Land Management –up-scaling benefits for rural communities’, the forum facilitated knowledge exchange and experience sharing among different stakeholders working at various levels, from local to national, and to the global.
Participants from Central Asia, France, Germany, England, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Russia and the Caucasus discussed an integrated approach on sustainable land management, focusing on land-reforms, improvement in decision-support tools and need in synergies for current regulatory framework on land use and management to be aligned with the internationally accepted good practices.
The Forum was organized by CAMP Kuhiston, Mountain Partnership member from Tajikistan. The multi-stakeholder organizing committee for the event included the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Committee on Women and Family Affairs under the Government of Tajikistan, University of Central Asia (UCA), Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Bern / Research Center of North-South cooperation, German Agro Action, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, FAO, CARITAS, UNDP, the Mountain Partnership and Oxfam in Tajikistan.
During the Forum Mountain Partnership Central Asia Hub (MPCA) facilitated a two-hour strategic planning session with 20 of its member institutions from the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Dagestan and Altai Republic of Russia, and MSRC. Since 2008, the number of MP members from Central Asia has doubled. As MPCA continues its process of institutional development and decentralization, two activities were conducted: 1) A joint review of tools and instruments to assess member contributions, with the goal of enriching regional and local platforms serving mountain communities and facilitating joint initiatives; and 2) An inventory of member needs and demands, which was last done in 2008, was updated, to better enable the Hub and its members to mutually address them.
