That at least is the recommendation heard at a recent conference in Dushanbe bringing together experts from former Soviet states like Georgia, Moldova and Russia, as well as others like Afghanistan and the Philippines.
Tajikistan has already taken some steps in the right direction. People can pay their taxes online, President Imomali Rahmon has a website and the mayor of Dushanbe Mahmadsaid Ubaydulloev is available on a social networking site.
