UN and Uzbekistan: Improving Lives for Millions

The results of 2025 highlight significant gains in social equity and infrastructure. Approximately 200,000 people received vital social support, and the groundwork was established for state-funded maternity benefits. Digital transformation played a key role in streamlining public services for 12.8 million citizens, while specialized healthcare reached 1.8 million women and newborns. Simultaneously, schools nationwide benefited from modernized teaching and digital literacy, and new environmental initiatives were launched to bridge the gap between climate action and the creation of "green jobs."

As this cycle concludes, the UN is shifting its focus toward a new five-year Cooperation Framework for 2026–2030. Sabine Machl, the UN Resident Coordinator emphasized that the next phase is defined by a single core principle: investing in people. It is designed to ensure that development is inclusive, empowering everyone—particularly those from disadvantaged groups—to take an active role in the country’s progress and realize their full potential within their communities.

Otabek Fozilkarimov, Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance, emphasized that consistent dialogue with international partners, particularly the United Nations, has been fundamental to the country’s progress. He noted that under the shared leadership of the President and Secretary-General António Guterres, cooperation with the UN has reached a new height in recent years.
