| Additional information | |
| Additional information: | The USAID Business Support Project (BSP) is a 5-year, $18 million Activity designed to enhance sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Uzbekistan by strengthening businesses and the business-enabling environment in targeted sectors, while addressing the barriers faced by women, youth, and underrepresented groups. BSP will take a market systems approach to produce a structural transformation of the Uzbekistan economy by strengthening the current drivers of growth (tourism and textiles) and developing new sectors (information and communication technology (ICT and green economy sub-sectors) to create jobs and economic inclusion, develop export markets for SMEs, and attract capital. BSP will improve SME market readiness by de-risking market-oriented upgrades and nurturing business-to-business (B2B) relationships; foster a robust business service ecosystem by cultivating and strengthening the capacity of a vetted network of business advisory service providers (BASP), prioritizing digital and green services; strengthen SME access to finance, incentivizing financial facilitators (FF) to link SMEs to existing financial options and collaborating with banks and non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) to develop new products; and increase the quality and frequency of public–private dialogue, amplifying the voices of underserved SMEs on regulatory and workforce development (WFD) reforms. BSP is structured with two integrated Objectives focused on specific results: • Objective 1: Reduced barriers to private sector growth in the ICT, tourism, and textiles sectors and green economy sub-sectors. Objective 1 will focus on reducing or eliminating the barriers to private sector growth in the targeted sectors. Targeted interventions will address policy, regulatory and institutional constraints, access to international markets, digitalization of business processes, network connectivity with U.S. buyers and suppliers and access to formal employment of women, youth, and other underrepresented groups. • Objective 2: Increased private sector investment and access to finance in ICT, tourism, and textiles sectors and green economy sub-sectors. Objective 2 will focus on incentivizing investments in local value chain development, facilitating access to finance and equity investments, and the development of private sector partnerships between USAID and the private sector to advance the objectives of BSP. BSP will also pursue a set of cross-cutting principles that will be essential to generating sustainable positive impact. These include private sector engagement, gender and inclusive development, youth integration, digital transformation, and climate.
