Description

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will provide optimal and feasible solutions to the government's project preparation system. Specifically, the TA will review the government's system and structures for project preparation and identify bottlenecks in the process flow, particularly in project approvals.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The TA is aligned with the country partnership strategy, 2019-2023 for Uzbekistan, which calls for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support the government's policy reforms and capacity building initiatives with a view to optimizing its public administration system and boosting the country's economy. It is also aligned with achieving the government's national development strategy 2022-2026, particularly goal 5, which prioritizes the introduction of a compact, professional, fair, and high-performance public administration system; and goal 6, which involves streamlining the organizational structures in the public administration system through optimum work processes. The TA is consistent with ADB's Strategy 2030, and its operational priority 6 of strengthening governance and institutional capacity.
