The Head of the European Union Delegation to Tajikistan, Raimundas Karoblis, announced on his Twitter page that the EU’s assistance of €9.7 million is aimed at digitizing old and new documents from Tajikistan’s civil registry archives. The funds will be provided to the country through the UN Development Programme.

Digitizing archival documents will simplify and expedite public access to archives and civil status documents and will lay the groundwork for the creation of an electronic government.

Over the past two decades, the government of Tajikistan has received hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance from international and regional organizations, as well as countries, for the establishment of an electronic government.
