“…The AKF provides indirect and direct investment in Shia Ismaili Muslim communities primarily concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and Central and South Asia (Karim 2014).

The sweeping political transition from the Soviet Union to independence in Tajikistan was accompanied by a devastating civil war. Social, economic, and demographic change followed. This research examines a critical indicator of human welfare and stability at the micro-and macrolevels: educational attainment and mobility. Using the 2007 Tajik Living Standards Survey, I compare cohorts educated before, during, and after the civil war. I examine the impact of the war and the political transition on educational attainment and mobility. The findings suggest that the consequences of civil war and political transition in Tajikistan were gendered: boys' attainment was disrupted when they lived in a conflict-affected area and were 16-to-17 years old when the war began; girls' attainment decline was more widespread. This research contributes to our understanding of the long-term consequences of political events on human capital accumulation over the life course.
