Background:
As a continuation of the POiD’s commitment to assist Tajikistan in advancing the green economy, enhancing the efficacy of environmental education, and promoting public involvement in environmental governance, in March 2024, the Project organized a 5-day study tour to Georgia for five representatives of the Committee for Environmental Protection (CoEP). The aim of the study trip was to provide the Tajik state officials with the opportunity to learn about the local practices of administering national parks and nature monuments, and explore the possibilities to apply them in Tajikistan.
During the study tour, Georgia’s Agency of Protected Areas officials shared their experience in the functioning of the country’s protected areas and highlighted the implementation of the SMART (Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool) patrolling system. The SMART platform consists of a set of software and analysis tools designed to help standardize and streamline data collection, analysis, and reporting, making it easier for key information to get from the field to decision-makers. The Tajik delegation expressed willingness to introduce the SMART patrolling system in Tajikistan’s protected areas as well.
OSCE’s support to the COEP ensures that basic needs are met and that capacities are strengthened to ensure an improved management of PAs in addressing poaching, logging and other illegal activities, in monitoring flora and fauna species diversity and the health of natural ecosystems, in education of the public, and in promoting tourism and sustainable development.
The envisaged introduction of SMART application and follow-up training for SMART officers and rangers will improve the quality of protection in Tajikistan by implementing a rigorous advanced patrolling protocol, and will establish a centralized law enforcement monitoring system that allows the protected areas authorities to monitor day-to-day patrolling efforts and make adaptive management decisions to address gaps in protection.
The project will specifically provide training in SMART, which is a software designed to help park rangers fight wildlife crime by identifying poaching hotspots, improving rapid response measures and calculating the impact of anti-poaching efforts to maximize results. SMART will be used by park management to monitor the patrolling efforts, inform adaptive management decisions for patrolling operations and provide regular updates on wildlife movement to assist park authorities in mitigating the human-wildlife conflict affecting local communities.
To facilitate the process, the Project will hire one International Consultant/Trainer to conduct a training on implementation and operation of SMART patrol system for CoEP staff.

a. Provide consultancy to Tajikistan’s Committee of Environmental Protection (COEP) on the specific steps to ensure replication of SMART application;
