On 30 September – 1 October 2026, training sessions were held in Khujand for representatives of civil society organisations and human rights defenders. The sessions aimed to strengthen their capacity to monitor the implementation of the National Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan in the Field of Human Rights Protection until 2038.
The training sessions were conducted as part of the project “Enhancing Civil Society and the State’s Capacities on Accountability and Torture Prevention through Human Rights Initiatives in Tajikistan,” funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with three organisations: the PO Centre for Sociological Research “Zerkalo”, the PO “World of Law” and the Dutch foundation “Perspectivity Challenge”.
The “Perspectivity Challenge” expert team introduced participants to modern approaches to digital data collection and analysis using the Sprockler digital research platform. Sprockler is a research platform and methodology for data collection based on stories and narratives. It enables users to collect and analyse not only quantitative data but also people’s real-life stories and personal experiences, as well as visualise the findings. This approach helps to develop a deeper understanding of how policies and measures affect the lives of different population groups.
