SUBJECT: TAJIKISTAN INL 2007 END USE MONITORING REPORT 
 
REF: 07 STATE 163708 
 
---------- 
PROCEDURES 
---------- 
 
¶1. (U) For provision of goods, services, and technical assistance, 
the U.S. Government and the Government of Tajikistan (GOTI) signed a 
Letter of Agreement (LOA) in 2003.  For subsequent years, INL 
Dushanbe negotiates an annual Amendment to the Letter of Agreement 
(ALOA) when project funds are allocated to Post.  For equipment 
transfers INL Dushanbe requires the head of the end-user agency or 
ministry of the government to sign a Memorandum of Understanding 
(MOU) accepting INL-provided equipment.  The MOU specifies the 
quantity, description, serial number, intended use, and initial 
location of each donated item.  GOTI agencies are, generally, very 
cooperative and responsive to end use monitoring requirements. 
 
¶2.  (U) Since 2005, INL Dushanbe has provided equipment to host 
government institutions located throughout Tajikistan.  These 
institutions include the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Drug Control 
Agency, and the State Committee on National Security, with separate 
provisions to the Border Guards, which are now a sub-unit of the 
Committee on National Security. 
 
¶3.  (U) Over the course of 2007 and early 2008, INL Dushanbe staff 
conducted periodic spot checks of the equipment in conjunction with 
separate programs such as training events, site visits, and 
performed specific end use monitoring trips.  The government 
cooperated in all requests for verification concerning the use of 
donated equipment.  Results of the checks have shown that the 
government agencies, generally, are utilizing equipment properly, 
and donated equipment is helping to combat drug trafficking, 
trafficking in persons, and preventing crime. 
 
------ 
STATUS 
------ 
 
¶4.  (SBU) Post continues to improve its procedures to monitor 
INL-financed or provided equipment.  Locally employed Program 
Managers personally accept and inventory all equipment upon arrival 
to Post.  Internal controls are maintained by separating receipt, 
inventory, and distribution responsibilities among different 
employees.  Program Managers maintain an internal record of donated 
goods and periodically request detailed inventories from the 
receiving agencies to ensure the agencies are maintaining proper 
records.  Regular monitoring of INL-supported projects provides a 
ready opportunity for specific end use monitoring of previously 
donated equipment.  Listed below is all equipment that INL Dushanbe 
donated to law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan since 2005.

IMPACT 
------ 
 
 
¶7.  (SBU) The Government of Tajikistan uses all resources provided 
for the intended purpose. Frequent arrests of drug traffickers and 
multiple kilo drug seizers are excellent examples of how the law 
enforcement agencies are effectively using the equipment in the 
fight against drug trafficking and related crimes.  Overall, law 
enforcement and security ministries combating border smuggling and 
organized crime have demonstrated greater capacity and willingness 
to be proactive than during the period before the Russian border 
guards withdrew in early 2005.  Post will continue use our 
contributions to press host country partners to move beyond seizures 
and arrests, toward successful prosecutions of organized crime
