Members of Parliament and the United Nations in Tajikistan collaborate on strategic approaches to financing national sustainable development priorities

The initiative is part of the joint UN programme "Financing the SDGs in Tajikistan" targeting members of the lower chamber of the Parliament (Majlisi Namoyandagoni Majlisi Olii) of the Republic of Tajikistan.
