It should be noted that 30 years is considered an important period in the development of every scientific, analytical and consulting institution, especially in the process of changing of the world. The Center for Strategic research under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan (hereinafter the Center), as an important scientific and consulting institution, in the course of its activities – thanks to constructive proposals and the implementation of its functions and powers, was able to make sustainable steps in the formation and development of the modern statehood of Tajikistan.

Since gaining State Independence, Tajikistan faced important tasks, such as overcoming the acute political crisis, ensuring peace and stability, the formation of state institutions, creation and implementation of a comprehensive management system and development of a comprehensive strategy for the development of the state. It is known that in the first years of its career of state independence, Tajikistan faced an acute political and economic crisis, that is, a civil war. At this difficult historical stage, the Center played an important role in the development of analytical and advisory materials of a strategic nature, which were aimed at overcoming challenges and ensuring national interests.

So, the first years of the Center’s activities and all scientific circles of this period are known as a stage of serious discussions and efforts on issues of ensuring peace, stability and national unity, strengthening the political and economic foundations of the country and specifying the main directions of the country’s political, social and economic development. Later periods of the Center’s development and activities also reflect the nature and issues associated with the characteristic political, economic and social conditions of each time stage of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. In particular, the second decade of the Center’s development falls on the period of searching for ways and priority directions of society’s development, especially socio-economic, political and legal issues and the formation of the institutional foundations for the country’s development.

The Center, as a scientific, analytical and consultative institution, throughout its activities with its proposals and scientifically based conclusions in promoting the policy pursued by the Founder of peace and national unity, the Leader of the Nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, respected Emomali Rahmon, especially in the development of programs, concepts and other important strategic state acts, has acquired a worthy status in society, which played a key role in the formation of the political institution of society and the process of democratization of society.

It should be noted that the Center regularly implements research plans and fulfills its tasks and obligations at the proper level. That is, in the activities of the Center, practical and analytical aspects of research have priority.

The Center as an important analytical institute plays an important role in strengthening and forming political systems of society, the process of its democratization, the multi-party system, formation of information spaces and other important strategic issues.

It is worth noting that during its activity the Center was able to play an important role in cooperation with important state institutions, civil society, political parties and other relevant entities in the consideration and discussion of a number of regulatory legal acts, in the study of public opinion, in determining the most important areas of society’s activities. The proof of these statements is, first of all, the creative cooperation of this institution with the relevant entities of the political system of society.

Tajikistan is entering a new stage of development of national statehood, which is based on efforts to modernize and diversify the economy, enter global processes and strengthen international influence. In these conditions, the tasks and responsibilities of the Center become even more serious, as an analytical center, as a platform for expert dialogue, and in this direction considers current issues of statehood development, on their basis prepared scientific-based analytical materials and presents them to the relevant government institutions. Thanks to such efforts, the Center, by providing analytical reports, contributes to the development of long-term strategies to ensure sustainable economic growth, improve the standard of living of the population, strengthen security and develop human potential.

In this regard, over the 30 years of its activity, the Center has proven its importance as a key analytical and strategic institution and contributed to providing analytical foundations for public policy to strengthen the foundations of national security, sustainable economic development and progress of Tajikistan.

Strategic planning in modern conditions is an important tool for achieving sustainable development and adapting to changes in the global environment. In the context of rapidly changing political, economic and social realities, states are faced with the need to formulate long-term goals, develop strategies and action plans that can ensure national interests and their stability. In connection with global challenges such as climate change, digitalization, geopolitical conflicts, strategic planning is considered a key component of ensuring national security and economic development.

Therefore, for 30 years of fruitful activity, the Centre has contributed to the development and implementation of national strategies of our country. Over these years, the Centre has become a coordinating body capable of uniting the efforts of various public and private institutions to achieve sustainable development goals. Other important aspects of the Centre’s activities include forecasting trends, risk analysis and developing recommendations that will help government institutions in their further actions.

One of the main tasks of strategic planning in a changing global environment is the ability to respond promptly to potential external and internal threats and dangers. Adaptation and inclusiveness of strategies allow countries to promptly reassess their priorities and direct resources to the most important areas, such as social development, innovation and international cooperation. In fact, these processes and commitments require a high degree of competence from strategic researchers, given the complexity and diversity of modern tasks, as well as importance of the finding of the forms of active interaction of various levels of state institutions and civil society.

In addition, strategic planning is impossible without taking into account the opinions of various sectors of society. Involving the public in the decision-making process and discussing strategies as the most important pillar of democratic governance allows taking into account the interests of various groups, which in turn contributes to the effectiveness of state institutions activities.

Thus, the Center, as an important research and analytical-consultative institute, will continue to strive to form and implement effective public policy in Tajikistan based on its normative functions. Because in the modern situation constant of analytical monitoring of processes becomes not only a necessity, but also the reliable basis for successful and sustainable development of the country
