The Executive Board of the United Nations Children's Fund approved a new Country Programme Document for Tajikistan for 2027–2030 during its Second Regular Session at UN Headquarters in New York, UNICEF said in a press release dated 4 September 2026. The release described the adoption, reported for 2 September 2026, as a milestone in the partnership between UNICEF and the Government of Tajikistan on children's and young people's rights and well-being.

According to the release, the four-year framework supports national efforts on health, education, protection and opportunities for children. It is aligned with Tajikistan's National Development Strategy 2030, the Mid-Term Development Programme 2026–2030 and national sector priorities. Stated focus areas include maternal, newborn and child health services, nutrition, early childhood development and inclusive education, skills development for adolescents, child and social protection systems, disability inclusion, and support for children in rural, mountainous and hard-to-reach communities.

Tajikistan's permanent representative to the UN, Jonibek Hikmat, addressed the board and expressed appreciation for the partnership. Deputy Health and Social Protection Minister Abdukholiq Amirzoda took part virtually and delivered remarks. The release says the programme reaffirms shared commitments to children's rights and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. UNICEF notes it has operated in Tajikistan since 1993.
