Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, 26 November 2004 - The first joint early warning report prepared by the UNDP staff working in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan offices in the context of the project on Cross Border Cooperation was presented to the participants of a bilateral Kyrgyz-Tajik business meeting held in Khudjanda (Tajikistan) on 26 November 2004.

The early warning report was prepared on the basis of risk factor analysis including competition for access to natural resources, interethnic and inter-group relations, cross border problems embracing the issues of border demarcation and delimitation, migration, government actions and maintenance of law and order, environmental problems and issues of information access.

 Since December 2003, UNDP Kyrgyzstan and UNDP Tajikistan have been implementing a joint program on cross border cooperation of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. At present, the program is being realized in four pilot regions of the two countries: Leylek and Batken in Kyrgyzstan, and Jabor Rasulov and Isfara in Tajikistan.
