| Duties | Uzbekistan, Central Asia's most populous country with 37 million people in 2024, possesses abundant natural resources, including natural gas, gold, copper, uranium, and coal, contributing to steady economic growth of 5.5–6% annually. Despite this, the country faces economic, social, and environmental challenges, particularly in reducing poverty and inequality. The poverty rate declined from 17% in 2021 to 11% in 2023 and is projected to reach 6% by 2025, with Uzbekistan implementing a multidimensional poverty index to ensure inclusive development. Climate change threatens agriculture, water resources, and labor productivity, potentially costing 1% of GDP by 2030 and reducing economic potential by 10% by 2050, with heightened risks for female-headed households, persons with disabilities, and rural communities. Since 2017, Uzbekistan has pursued ambitious reforms through its National Development Strategies (2017–2021 and 2022–2026) and the "Uzbekistan – 2030" strategy, aiming to double GDP, increase per capita income to $4,000, and achieve upper-middle-income status while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, achieving these goals requires stronger integration of SDGs into strategic planning, budgeting, and policy coordination, along with enhanced domestic resource mobilization and improved public expenditure efficiency to drive sustainable and inclusive development. During 2020-2024 UNDP has provided technical assistance to the Government of Uzbekistan in promoting a more integrated approach to financing its national development priorities and the SDGs through establishment of an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF), mainstreaming SDGs and Green considerations into the budgetary process through introduction of SDG and Green Budgeting methodologies and practices, advancing PFM reforms, particularly ensuring the accountability, and transparency of public funds and involving citizens into the budgetary process through participatory budgeting. Additionally, UNDP supported the Government in development and introduction of the new innovative financing instruments including the SDG and Green Bonds, Islamic Finance Instruments, etc. Building on this UNDP with the support of the Slovak Government is starting a new initiative on "Public Finance for Development in Uzbekistan" aimed at establishing a clear, results-driven strategic planning and budgeting system in Uzbekistan, aligned with the SDGs and green development priorities. Specifically, the project aims to strengthen the institutional and technical capacities of the Government to transition towards an SDG-oriented budgeting framework, using green budgeting mechanisms to achieve measurable improvements in economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
