Background |
|
UNDP “Improved Public Service Delivery and Enhanced Governance in Rural Uzbekistan” project aims to enhance the capacity of government agencies for improved public service delivery by expanding accessibility to public services, integrating service delivery systems and decentralizing their access; as well as by enabling the necessary mechanisms to support these changes and ensuring their sustainability. By improving delivery of public services, the project will contribute to improving 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 enhancing their access to public services and by increasing the quality of service delivery. This project also aims to strengthen citizen participation through a variety of outreach and social accountability mechanisms that enhance people’s voice in decision-making processes and increase their access to information; effectively increasing the transparency of Uzbekistan’s local governance system. The project objectives are congruent with government policy demands in designing and implementing initiatives that would foster institutional effectiveness, transparency and participation and change management. Thus, project objectives are clearly linked with the country’s reform aspirations and strategies. The project has organized the functional review of: 1) khokimiyats; 2) preschool education departments; 3) drinking water supply departments (Suvoqava) in five pilot districts. Some proposals resulting from the functional analysis of khokimiyats were discussed during a meeting at the Ministry of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction and were integrated in the draft Government resolution on new structure of district khokimiyats. An article about the functional analysis of khokimiyats was published in the magazine “Economic review”. The FR of other institutions (back offices) continues. The Public Services Agency, the Cadaster Agency under the Tax Committee and the Ministry of Construction have been selected as target institutions for the on-going FR. The International Consultant on will provide strategic guidance on implementation of all the project initiatives related to the capacity building activities of government officials in FR initiatives and knowledge transfer in public services delivery in Uzbekistan.
