Project Description

If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Bank’s website, the proposed TA for Uzbekistan is designed to enhance the country's statistical systems and its compilation capacities. More specifically, the proposed TA will focus on the development of advanced statistical measures on climate change, trade, and digital economy while supporting the establishment of a viable SBR within the government integrated database proposed by KOSTAT. This strategic alignment reflects ADB's commitment to climate change action, regional integration, and digitalization.

The proposed TA builds upon ADB's ongoing initiatives in Uzbekistan and will be critical to the Digital Uzbekistan Strategy. It aims to enhance the digitalization and management of economic data, ensuring that business information is systematically organized. It will also play a key role in facilitating evidence-based policymaking and promoting transparency and accountability in the country's decision-making processes. The proposed project also aspires to enhance the capacity of the Statistics Agency in preparation for upcoming reforms related to WTO accession and the climate change/green transition. The proposed TA in collaboration with KOSTAT ODA (Official Development Assistance) project, will aid the Statistical Agency in implementing the reforms outlined in the Presidential Decree No. 114, dated 4 March 2024, particularly Section 9, paragraph 5, and Annex 4, Section 31.

Contact Information

This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice.
