  2. Overall objectives of PPCR Phase I (A4) Two main objectives: #1. Analyze the climate vulnerability of Tajikistan’s hydropower sector; #2. Recommend ways in which the analysis can inform investment planning, including use of Phase II PPCR resources to support specific adaptation activities leading to a more climate-resilient hydropower sector.
