Tajikistan modernizes disaster loss reporting systems with technical training on DELTA resilience platform
Dushanbe – On 19 June 2026, the Committee of Emergency Situations and Civil Defense under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan (CoES), in collaboration with UNDRR, conducted a comprehensive technical training on the deployment and operationalization of the DELTA Resilience Disaster Loss and Damage Tracking System.
The intensive workshop, held at the CoES Crisis Management Centre in Dushanbe, serves as a direct operational step toward fulfilling Tajikistan’s strategic shift toward the complete digitalization of disaster risk data. The training brought together operators, IT administrators, and data analysts from CoES, the Agency of Statistics, and the Agency for Innovation and Digital Technologies to build institutional capacity for modern risk governance.
The training program focused heavily on system navigation, hosting options, user access roles, and the practical application of core software modules. Participants underwent hands-on sessions covering advanced data entry protocols, specifically focusing on the creation, linkage, and technical editing of hazardous and disaster events.
One of the key topics of the workshop was aligning the DELTA Resilience software with the national statistical reporting framework, which is currently being updated – Form 1-ES. Participants practiced specialized data entry for disaster losses and damages, emphasizing the institutional requirement for data disaggregation to assess specific human and sector-specific impacts. Additionally, the training covered data analysis and visualization tools, enabling national specialists to transform raw field data into actionable risk maps and statistical dashboards.
During the open discussions, participants discussed the potential to institutionalize DELTA Resilience within CoES and explored its capacity to be scaled countrywide as a unified, inter-agency national baseline for disaster loss tracking. Such a consolidated digital approach will significantly strengthen inter-agency coordination, eliminate duplication of functions, and provide an evidence-based foundation for protecting the population and critical infrastructure.
This technical upgrade directly supports the newly adopted Action Plan for 2026–2028 of the Medium-term State Program for the Protection of the Population and Territories from Emergencies for 2023–2028. This Action Plan is aimed at implementing the National Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for Disaster Risk Reduction and mandates the modernization of disaster statistics to accelerate risk reduction across the country.
The training was organized by CoES and supported by the joint UNDRR and Government of Switzerland project “Strengthening Resilience to Disasters and Climate Change in Tajikistan”. Within the framework of this project, UNDRR continues to provide targeted support to Tajikistan in capacity building for risk governance, active stakeholder engagement, and improving risk knowledge management and data collection to enhance national capabilities.
