UN Common Country Assessment: 2023 Update

The current update to the UN Common Country Assessment (CCA) provides a brief overview of key political and socio-economic events in 2023, with potential impact on Uzbekistan’s path to sustainable development.

The global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021, and the eruption of the Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022 warranted substantial updates to the original CCA from 2019. 2023 was rich in political events that will shape the country’s development trajectory up until 2030 and beyond, such as the national referendum for the adoption of the new Constitution, the snap presidential elections, and the new national development strategy until 2030.
