President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed decree on September 11 approving the Uzbekistan-2030 Strategy. The decree states that it had been developed “based on the experience acquired during the implementation of the New Uzbekistan Development Strategy and following public discussion”.
The decree noted that “in the updated constitutional and legal conditions (the new version of the Constitution was approved at a referendum on April 30, and presidential elections were held on July 9 - ed.), it was necessary to improve the main areas of the country’s development and bring the ongoing large-scale reforms to a new stage.”
Uzbekistan-2030 Strategy reflects the following main ideas:
- joining the ranks of upper-middle-income countries through sustainable economic development;
- creation of an education, medicine and social protection system that fully meets the needs of the people and international standards;
- creation of favorable environmental conditions for the population;
- building a just and modern state serving the people;
- guaranteed provision of sovereignty and security of the country.
The strategy covers five priority areas:
- creating decent conditions for realizing the potential of every person;
- ensuring the well-being of the population through sustainable economic growth;
- saving water resources and protecting the environment;
- ensuring the rule of law, organizing governance focused on serving the people;
- consistent policies based on the principle of a “safe and peaceful state.”
The implementation of the strategy and the achievement of its target figures have been declared a priority task for all government bodies and organizations in the country.
The Republican Commission for the implementation of the Uzbekistan-2030 Strategy was headed by Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov. The commission will report to the president every six months on the implementation of the document.
