The Area Based Development (ABD) programme in Uzbekistan is an integral part of UNDP’s strategy of promoting human security and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It contributes to the implementation of the Government’s regional development and decentralization policy as expressed in the Welfare Improvement Strategy.
