Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
Due to a delay in fundingfor the full Phase2 of
Project Alliance,a plan (Plan “B”) was put into
action to fulfill partof the original plan to take a
convoy of emergency servicevehicles and an
instructor trainingteamto Tajikistan in
September 2016. With fundingfrom the UK

OBJECTIVES
This phaseof the project was the third visitto Tajikistan for the team with previous visits takingplacein
March 2015 for the initial scopingvisitand November 2015 for the firstdonation of rescueand medical
equipment and training.
The objectives of this third visitwere:
- to improve the capacity of Tajikistan emergency services to
respond, particularly to road traffic collisions
- to donate road crash rescueequipment (severely lackingin
Tajikistan),medical equipment and PPE to keep crews safer
- trainingfor crews in how to use the donated equipment, RTC
extrication,control techniques and scene management
- trainingfor FireService Medics in FPOS (FirstPerson on Scene)
- road safety school lessonsand planningof a wider prevention programme with Young Generation of
Tajikistan
- an assessmentof the “Command and Control” of incidents by the Emergency Service Operational
Officers
Trainingwas conducted for Republican FireService Personnel in Dushanbe. Trainingwas conducted for
FireService, Committee for Emergency Situations (COES) and FOCUS personnel in Khorog.
Prior to the arrival of the team, a total of £35,000 of rescue and medical equipment was shipped out to
Dushanbe to be used by those undertaking trainingprogrammes in Dushanbeand Khorog. The
equipment was officially donated to the services once the traininghad been completed. The total amount
of equipment donated to Tajikistan fromthe UK sincethe initial scopingvisitin 2015 is worth in the region
of £75,000.
The total return on the initial £20,000 fromthe British Ambassador in Dushanbeand the UK FCO - taking
into consideration thecourses held,the numbers of students taught and the personnel involved – is
£246,900 if calculated atUK costs, to the date of this report. This gives a return of 12.4 times the
investment. This does not includethe value of lives saved in Tajikistan through use of the donated
equipment and training.
Now going forward, itis planned to complete phase 2 once the convoy of emergency vehicles arrivein
spring2017 if the required funding is secured.The project is atthis stage is envisaged to be three to five
years from the initial scopingvisitthatwas undertaken in March 2015.
The project’s focus is on Post-Crash Careand Road Safety Education given that RTCs currently cause18.8
deaths per 100,000 population (WH0) in Tajikistan –a considerably high road death rate. 90% of road
deaths and injuries occur in low- and middle-incomecountries that have only 48% of the world's
registered vehicles.

14th November 2016
The team were assisted by EASST’s local partner,Young Generation of Tajikistan,who arecurrently
conductinga road safety projectseeking to reduce road deaths in the Firdavsi Districtof Dushanbe, and
by FOCUS (AKDN) who have a project to providedisaster preparedness and responseextending
humanitarian relief and recovery followingnatural or man-made disasters in Tajikistan and particularly in
GBAO.
Particularmention must go to Ambassador Hugh Philpott (British Ambassador to Tajikistan) for his
supportthroughout the project2015/2016. Without his assistancewewould not be this far forward.

THE PROGRAMME
Monday 19th September 2016
Day 1 - Equipment Check and Testing
Venue: FOCUS Warehouse
The rescue and medical equipment had been shipped out to Tajikistan in August2016. The shipment once
in Dushanbe was safely stored in the FOCUS privatewarehouse. Followinga few hours rest from the
journey to Tajikistan via Istanbul and thearrival in Dushanbe at03:45hrs,the team undertook a thorough
auditof the equipment and once verified, the equipment was thoroughly tested, prior to delivery at the
Republican FireServiceTrainingSchool and
transportation of the allocated equipment to Khorog,
GBAO Region.
The items allocated to the DushanbeFire Servicewere
dispatched to the TrainingSchool,where itwould be
stored until the startof the courseproper on the 20th
September 2016.
Planning, Planning and More Planning.
Although the projectplan and trainingprogramme had been meticulously formulated in the UK
throughout a 10 month period and had been communicated to the Ministers and General of the
Republican FireServicewith a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding delivered by YGT, some
months before our arrival,a few of the importantrequirements had not been completed.
The accommodation for the instructors had notbeen arranged,the request for scrap vehicles for the RTC
extrication trainingwere not availableand indeed the information was that there were no scrap vehicles
availablein Dushanbe. There were no students en route to the trainingschool.
A number of calls to the Republican FireServiceDeputy General to confirmthe instructors’hotel resulted
in the hotel being hastily arranged,however, itwould not be availableuntil the20th. The instructors,
through some local research,managed to find a vehiclereclamation yard where they would spend three
hours negotiating the payment, delivery and recollection atthe end of the courseof two, what we could
loosely call scrap vehicles. Several other issues would ariseduringthe visit;“adaptability”is the byword
for this type of work.
Working Dinner with Peter Stevenson, Focus Humanitarian Assistance (affiliate of the Aga Khan
Development Network.
The working dinner established again thesupport and assistanceof FOCUS and its confirmation of the
supply of transportand interpreters for the project, both in Dushanbe and the Khorog, GBAO.

Day 4 continuation of the courses in Dushanbe.
The students turned up enthusiastically for the courseand the RTC and
Medical practical lessonson the drill yard.
For the students, it was the experience of learningnew techniques at
the Republican FireService TrainingSchool.The initial trainingwas in
relation to how the extrication equipment can be used and its
limitations and its strengths.The maintenance and handlingof the
equipment is also as importantas its safeuse.
This would be the firsttime that some of students had used the dedicated
jaws,spreaders and cutters of the hydraulic extrication equipment that
had been donated. There was no shortage of willingvolunteers to take the
firststeps toward usingthe equipment on the vehicles. The equipment
provided can be used to extricatecasualtieswho are trapped in the body
of the vehiclebut the misuseof such equipment can be as dangerous to
the casualty and rescuepersonnel alike.The correctand safeuse of the
equipment, its handling,maintenanceand cutting techniques areall partof
the course.
The trainingof the Fire Service Medics is also an importantpartof
the integrated attendance at the RTC scene and post-crash care.
The Medic students undergo a practical scenario with an
unconscious casualty.The dangers on approach arehighlighted and
a thorough check of the casualty vital. The highlightingof who is the
most important person at the scene is given, that person is you, the
rescue person, without your initial assessmentand safety check,
you yourself could become a casualty and the rescue of injured
persons and savingof lives put at risk.The integrated use of both
Firefighter rescuers and medics at the scene will providethe
optimum chanceof casualty survival.

Day 5, Team Travel the Pamir Highway to Khorog, GBAO
Friday morning 06:00, the SESHAA Team with Pete
Stevenson FOCUS (AKDN) took the Pamir Highway, the M41,
to the Khorog/ Afghan Border, a road traversingthe Pamir
Mountains through Afghanistan,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,and
Kyrgyzstan. The trip alongthis road took the team
approximately 12 hours. Drivingthe Pamir Highway from
Dushanbe to Khorog, the team experienced first-hand the
dangers of the road in Tajikistan. Aid workers engaged in
humanitarian work often find themselves in extreme
environments – facingrisks fromnatural disasters,terrorist
attacks and crime. But the greatest risk they face is often
unrecognised: road deaths. Accordingto Paul Jansen,
Executive Director of Fleet Forum, “Road Traffic Collisions arethenumber one killer of aid workers.” The
poor road conditions of the mountain road caused a lorry to become lodged on a corner of the Pamir
Highway followingthe failureof its brakes,on this occasion therewere no casualties although the driver
had not only losthis vehiclebut also his livelihood,mostvehicles arenot insured.
Arrival in Khorog,2,600 meters above sea level, followingthe 12-hour drive, which is tiringto say the
least,the team were exhausted. The temperature in Khorog was hot, even at 18:30 in the evening,
however the team gathered at their accommodation for a briefingwith the Khorog FOCUS Officeteam
members.
Saturday 24th September
Day 6, Khorog Pamir Mountains/Afghan Border, GBAO.
Khorog, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region
The management team visited the Committee of Emergency
Situations (COES) HQ to meet the Colonel in charge and plan
for future cooperation.The plans goingforward are to
establish a COES TrainingSchool atthe HQ. The Colonel
thanked SESHAA/FIREAID for all their supportregardingthe
donated equipment and trainingcourses,both on this visit
and the previous visitin November 2015.
The Instructor team quickly went to work at the Fire Station,
the scrap cars werein situ,one of them had become redundant followingitbeing hit by a Rocket
Propelled Grenade some months before. The donated equipment was in the station awaitinginspection
by the instructors before being used on the courses.
Students attending from Fire, COES and Focus were divided into two classes for training –one RTC class
and one FPOS class.Thetrainingcourses went ahead with visibleenthusiasmfromthe students.

Day 7, Khorog Pamir Mountains/Afghan Border, GBAO.
The training continues with further RTC and medical input. The
students are extremely enthusiastic.Adam (Medic Instructor)
conducted his classes in both English and Tajik.The RTC
instructors outon the trainingground have adapted to the
different trainingenvironment.
The students are also learningaboutthe new RTC extrication
equipment, its safeuse, handlingtechniques and
maintenance. The technical inputis proving to be fruitful,the
students showed that the information had been remembered
and were effective in the extrication techniques used.
Monday 26th September
Day 8, at 05:00 the team prepare to leave.
The trip back to Dushanbe by 4x4 via the Pamir Highway,the
journey is notlooked forward to the second time, knowing
what’s ahead the approximate12-hour journey is only exciting
the firsttime it is done. The team reached Dushanbeat 18:30
for a well-earned meal and rest.

Day 9, Republican Fire Service Training School, Dushanbe
The instructors and students reaffirmthe previous weeks training.
The instruction continued into the week. The British Ambassador
Hugh Philpott,arrived atthe trainingschool to thank the instructors
for sharingtheir knowledge with the students and congratulatethe
students on their efforts.
The Ambassador was extremely interested in the trainingand asked
some in depth questions of the instructors and to the students in
Tajik.
The whole team, both instructors and students, enjoyed the
experience of the Ambassador’s visitand itgave a boost to
show the importance that the UK Embassy placeon this kind
of interaction and aid development.
The trainingresumed after lunch where the students were
given additional responsibility of formingone crew of both
Medics and Firefighters to take part in a hands-on exercise
on the trainingground to prepare for Thursday, when they
would be taking chargeof an RTC scenario for the General’s
visitand official handingover of the donated equipment.
The opportunity to show the new skillsand equipment
acquired seemed to give the students an added incentive and
the involvement of both Firefighters and Medics drew the
teams closer.

Day 10, Schools Road Safety visit and presentation.
Whilstthe instructors carried on with the lastday of
hands on trainingat the TrainingSchool,Alf Wilson,
Chris Wood,JulieUtting and Damian Armstrong visited
a local school organised by YGT. The purpose of the
visitwas to deliver a lesson in “Road Safety” Training.
The lesson and presentation that followed would assist
us to gauge how this type of lesson would be received
by the teachers and pupils.The plan to complete phase
2 involves the inclusion of the “Road Safety” modules,
and going forward this type of education will beat the
heart of the project with YGT
The lesson and presentation were very well received and the Principleof the school discussed with the
team the effectiveness of such education as the ratio of deaths of young people is devastating as 50%of
the country’s population is under 30 years old.
The Principleasked if we could look at her school again for future involvement in the project. She
informed us that when she attends the next meeting of the teacher’s association shewould speak to
them in relation to further schools takingpartin 2017.
The management team next met with the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP). Alf Wilson,Chris Wood and Julie

Station in the Khatlon Region. A high honor indeed for the newly skilled students and their newly acquired
equipment.
The students that qualified were presented with
certificates of achievement by General Ibrohimzoda
on behalf of SESHAA/FIREAID. The whole of the
course, both Firefighters and Firefighter Medics
posed proudly for a team photo.
Traditionally SESHAA has always held a raffleof

the students at the end of any course and the team in
Tajikistan were no exception. The students once
chosen randomly by a number picked out of a hat, are
called outto the front of the class.The student has a
choiceof prize that awaits them on the table. The final
