A team of researchers representing the Tajik branch of the US-based NGO Urban Institute has started a study titled “Relations between authorities, population and the media”.

The research will be carried out in the city of Kulyab, Khatlon province. Zafar Mirzoev, manager of the local Urban Institute office in Kulyab says that this work will be accomplished by means of an anonymous opinion poll involving questioners.

Upon the accomplishment of the study, Urban Institute intends to carry out practical seminars – initially “training for trainers”, who later will be working with representatives of local administrations, the media and public at large.
