Abstract
Women entrepreneurs in Tajikistan
confront disproportionate challenges in their businesses
compared to their male counterparts, with cross-border
traders being no exception. The World Bank initiated the
Fourth Phase of the Central Asia Regional Links Program in
2020, aiming to boost Tajikistan’s regional transport
connectivity and foster cross-border trade. Complementing
this program, the Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII)
Partnership provided a grant to address gender disparities
in cross-border trade and augment the economic opportunities
for female cross-border traders. The grant funded activities
are set to incorporate gender-responsive practices within
Tajikistan’s Customs Service and strengthen the capacity of
women entrepreneurs involved in cross-border trade.
