Further Improvement of Public Service Delivery in Uzbekistan\" is a joint project conducted by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) funded by the European Union. The overall goal of the project to improve the quality of life of vulnerable sectors of the population in rural areas – such as women, youth and children, the elderly and people with disabilities – by supporting further advancement of the public services reform in Uzbekistan to transition to a more holistic, operational, efficient, coherent, and people-centred service delivery model. Equally, the project aims to strengthen citizen participation in the decision-making processes at the local level and increase their access to information, effectively increasing the transparency of the local governance system.
The project aims to enhance the technical, organisational, and institutional capacities of government agencies, PSCs and local governance institutions for improved public service delivery. This is achieved by increasing the accessibility of the public services, integrating advanced technologies and practices through digitalization, decentralising the access as well as by enabling the necessary mechanisms to support these changes and ensure their sustainability.
The project’s interventions will focus both on the country as a whole (systemic reforms) and the selected remote pilot districts for more targeted results. This will be done through improving policies, enhancing capacity, digital transformation and streamlining the functions of (1) government bodies processing requests from citizens and businesses in back-offices (BOs), (2) Public Services Centres (PSCs) acting as one-stop shops for public services, (3) Ministry of Justice responsible for the unified state policy in public service delivery, and (4) Councils of People’s Deputies (Kengashes) and other local administrative bodies in charge of local governance. The project is expected to improve the quality of life of the rural population – particularly of women, youth and children, elderly, and people with disabilities – by increasing their access to affordable, convenient and high-quality public services, with a focus on remote, self-service online public services as well as by expanding the citizens’ participation in decision making at the local level.
The Driver will be contributing to the achievement of the project outputs through the organization of the transportation aspects of the project activities.
