Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:

ill, injured, or involved in a crime
with a British person who’s died

Development work in Tajikistan

The International Development White Paper set out how the UK is working with partners to:

eliminate extreme poverty
address climate change and biodiversity loss
increase progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030

The UK does this through long-term partnerships tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, founded on mutual accountability and transparency. The white paper builds on the UK Government’s International Development Strategy and the Integrated Review Refresh (IR23). These documents reiterate that sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and set out how the UK will go further and faster to reduce poverty.

For information on how the International Development White Paper is being implemented in Tajikistan, view the UK-Tajikistan development partnership summary.
