What is it about?
This article is about our experience of the designing and piloting of service specifications and standards for social care service in Tajikistan. The article presents a methodological framework for the developing standards of social care services provision that is very different from the existing practice in CIS countries.

Why is it important?
We developed tailored methodology for designing service specifications and standards to function within the domestic legislative framework. It could assist the government of Tajikistan to design or re-design specific social care services which could respond to the needs of socially vulnerable groups and individuals. We think that the proposed tool can make also a contribution to the strategic development and modernisation of social care services policy more widely in Tajikistan or in other settings with similar challenges.
Perspectives
I believe that this article will be useful for policy makers, consultants, researchers and other professionals who deal with reform of social care services in Central Asia and other CIS countries.
