|
Economic growth in Uzbekistan was maintained at a fairly high rate of 7.8% and was mainly driven by strong demand for the country’s major exports – gold, copper, cotton, natural gas, machinery production, and chemical, light and food-processing industries. However, problems in the job market were evident which decreased the impact of economic growth in improving the welfare of the population. Agriculture continued to be the dominant sector of the economy accounting for about 30% of employment. The restructuring of collectives into private farms produced considerable labor shedding in agriculture. This led to the migration of rural workers to cities and abroad, mainly Russia and Kazakhstan. This rapid increase in labour migration meant that remittances have become an important source of income for many poor households. However worsening economic conditions in Russia and Kazakhstan due to the world financial crisis have resulted in a sharp decline in remittances, thereby affecting the social safety nets of the most vulnerable groups. The vulnerable have also been affected in 2008 by higher global food prices and drought conditions in parts of the country. Government revenues are also beginning to be affected by a decline in export revenues (due to falling commodity prices) foreign investment flows into the country have also fallen.
Political reform has occurred in some areas, though in others there is a need for further progress. The Government undertook important steps to safeguard the rule of law and align legal practices with international standards including a National Action Plan on Combating Torture, capital punishment abolished and habeas corpus procedures partly introduced. Uzbekistan acceded to the UN Convention against Corruption and ratified the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the UN Transnational Organized Crime Convention. Parliament also adopted a law on child rights. Action has been taken o a national response to HIV, with a Presidential Decree and a Cabinet of Ministers’ Decree on HIV issued at the end of 2008. However Uzbekistan has not conducted a population census since 1989, thus limiting its ability to develop effective socio-economic plans and strategies. Summary on progress towards UNDAF outcomes
UNDAF Outcome I - Strengthened national and local level capacity to develop, implement and monitor strategies for improving living standards The UN’s assistance in capacity development in 2008 was concentrated around implementation of the MDG-based WIS. In addition to the capacity development through training and promotion of the use of ICT tools, the UN was also engaged in policy level advocacy through various thematic publications and reports.
The UN system has been assisting the Government in enhancing its statistical capacity in order to nationalize MDGs to the local context and produce a set of national goals, targets and time-bound indicators. A number of statistical bulletins on healthcare, education and gender equality were published as well as the first UN MDG Report. Given widening gaps in living standards between urban and rural areas, increasing attention was paid to rural development. It has proven to be an area in which the UN can fully utilize its comparative advantage, namely trust of the government and the ability to coordinate multi-sectoral and multi-partner interventions and share international best practice. Projects on the protection of the rights of women migrant workers and on improving the livelihoods of people with disabilities have helped raise awareness and promote better social protection of vulnerable groups.
UNDAF Outcome II - By 2009, improved quality of basic education is achieved The government has been continuing systemic reform of education and the UNCT has supported the revision of Regulations on Basic Education and the development of the National Programme for Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Education for 2008-2012, especially addressing inclusive education. Quality has been addressed from a multi-sectoral approach through the Child Friendly Schools package, currently applied in 750 schools, and including addressing water, sanitation and hygiene issues along with inclusive education.
Sustained UNCT advocacy resulted in greater prioritization of Preschool Education and a national concept on Preschool Education for 2009-2014 to be translated into a National Programme for Preschool Education with defined accountabilities and funding allocations. A multi-sectoral family empowerment approach has been taken by the UNCT to address key issues related to early childhood development.
UNDAF Outcome III – By 2009, equitable access to quality primary health care services is improved Progress towards this outcome was furthered by a number of legislative and executive documents, the implementation of national programs and greater cooperation with the donor community.
At the policy level, the preparation of the third stage of the nation-wide health care reform project was completed, a national Nutrition Improvement Strategy was approved by the government and international child growth and development standards were adopted in the country.
The implementation of previously passed laws and decrees continued with further progress on ensuring the exclusive use of the International Live Birth Definition, support for enforcement of the Iodide Deficiency Prevention law, and communication and education campaigns advancing the flour fortification programme. Implementation of the Newborn and Child Survival Packages in six regions were evaluated as having significantly increased the knowledge, skills and preparation of facilities and staff for neonatal resuscitation and newborn care. Access of the population to quality reproductive and maternal health services was also increased through the training of health care providers, updating national clinical protocols and guidelines and providing essential equipment including the UN providing up to 80% of the national demand for contraceptives.
The Health, Nutrition, and HIV/AIDS Theme Groups continue to act as efficient coordination mechanisms between UN agencies, donors, and the Government. The effectiveness of collaboration was demonstrated through the introduction of new vaccines in child immunization schedule, assistance to the country in application for external funding for health programs in particular during an investigation of an HIV outbreak in the Fergana valley. The National Strategic Programme on HIV continued to serve as a common action framework for HIV responses in the country, with progress made on increasing access by most at risk adolescents to Youth Friendly Health Services, expanding peer-to-peer education on HIV/AIDS prevention among youth including young servicemen, improving the quality of the school curriculum on sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention and integration of the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission strategy into the broader health system .
Within the context of service scale up, particular attention was paid to developing capacities for the uninterrupted delivery of services. UN agencies assisted in enhancing institutional and technical capacity within the Health, Education, and Interior (Prison Administration) sectors. Special emphasis was put on facilitating participation in the management and delivery of services of civil society, including people living with HIV.
UNDAF Outcome IV – By 2009, domestic laws are harmonized with UN legal instruments, including human rights, environmental and refugee conventions, and the implementation and monitoring of the latter are improved The death penalty was abolished in the country as of January 1, 2008 and life imprisonment was designated for only premeditated murder with aggravating circumstances and terrorism and not to be applied for women, men over 60 and all those under 18. Since January 1, 2008 the right to issue arrest warrants for detention passed to the courts, so complying with Para 9 of the ICCPR and standards of habeas corpus and the UNCT supported the Bar Association to monitor the process of implementation. Amendments to the legislation on the status of lawyers were accepted, most of which comply with international standards though complicated procedures for acquiring a lawyer’s license restrict the rights of Uzbek lawyers to participate in court hearings. In 2008 Uzbekistan also ratified the 2nd Optional Protocol to the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the UN Convention against Corruption, although there is still a lack of effective anticorruption mechanisms.
The Government ratified the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supported by laws including the law "On Uzbekistan's joining the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography” and a National Plan to address trafficking was adopted. Support was provided to the Women’s Committee of Uzbekistan on establishing a network of centres for legal and social support of women suffering from domestic violence.
In January 2008, the Law on the Guarantee of the Rights of the Child was put into effect, providing a stronger juridical basis for the implementation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in the country. Later on, ILO Convention 182 on Elimination of Worst Forms of Child Labour was ratified, while Convention 138 on Minimum Age is awaiting formal registration. Support has been provided in the development of a National Plan of Action for the implementation of these Conventions, however the practice of engagement of children in cotton picking appears to be continuing, often the initiative of local authorities in defiance of central level directives.
In response to the call of the UN Secretary-General, a special Decree of the President on commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was issued on May 1st. The Decree was aimed to increase the capacities of the national human rights institutions (National Human Rights Center and Ombudsman) to organize human rights awareness campaigns.
UNDAF Outcome V - Strengthened Government and civil society capacity and partnership towards more effective governance. Partnership with the Academy of State and Social Construction under the President enabled the UNCT to contributed to capacity building of sub-national government in developing regional integrated plans for the implementation of the WIS as well as the National Programme of Action for Children.
NGOs were involved in variety of activities in the field protecting the rights of people with disabilities, women and children (especially in combating domestic violence and trafficking) labour migrants and people with HIV. NGOs protecting the rights of the disabled were given opportunities to dialogue with government partners and one NGO engaged in preventing and combating trafficking became an active civil society counterpart of the Government in implementation of the anti-trafficking National Plan.
The National Association of Non-governmental, Non-profit Organisations of Uzbekistan, NANNOUz announced its commitment to work in the area of HIV and assumed an active role in HIV response. The first NGO forum was held that brought together all operational NGOs in Uzbekistan engaged or having the potential to engage in the national HIV response. The capacity of regional initiative groups of people living with HIV was assessed, and a capacity development initiative launched. NANNOUz participated in the development of the (unfortunately unsuccessful) Global Fund Round 8 application and was nominated as the second principle recipient. The UNCT supported the consolidation of NGO efforts and mobilized some modest funding for capacity development and partnership strengthening, especially at regional level.
More detailed monitoring of UNDAF implementation in 2008 is elaborated in the matrix of the RC 2008 annual report. During the reporting period and UNDAF mid-term review exercise UNCT agreed not to make any changes to the UNDAF document and continue its implementation in 2009. Summary on progress in UN Reform
i. Efforts to align the national development processes; The UN Development Assistance Framework for Uzbekistan (2005-2009) is fully aligned with Government strategies and national priorities. During 2008 the UNCT was in the final stages of the next CCA/UNDAF preparation process. A Country Analysis was drafted based on the 2008- 2010 Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, known as the Welfare Improvement Strategy (WIS), and the Country Assessment Strategies of the World Bank and EBRD. The first draft of the UNDAF document was jointly prepared by the UN Country team with participation from main partners and support from the Development Operations Coordination Office and Regional Directors Team.
2008 was the first year of implementation of the WIS and the UNCT in Uzbekistan continued to assist the government’s national development planning with key national and sectoral policies and strategies revised or redrafted in conjunction with the WIS Regional development strategy. Capacity for Monitoring and Evaluation of the WIS process was developed through trainings and seminars and the UN started the process of introducing the Devinfo system at the sub-national level.
ii. support to the national government in the preparation, implementation and/or revision of comprehensive MDG-based national development strategies; The new UNDAF establishes a common strategic plan for the United Nations in Uzbekistan for the period 2010-2015 and represents a collective, coherent and integrated response to national priorities as outlined in the WIS and other key national documents. It reflects not only the MDGs but also the commitments of the Millennium Declaration and international conferences, conventions and human rights instruments.
In 2008 UNCT made some progress in MDG Reporting, preparing the first draft of the “MDGs and the Regions” report. A Development Cooperation report 2004-2007 has been prepared and discussed with Government counterparts and the technical platform of the Development Assistance Database webspace (www.devaid.uz) has been upgraded. iii. progress UNCT’s are making collectively in support of the national partners' endeavours towards capacity development and aid effectiveness; The UNCT assisted the Government in capacity building for implementation of the WIS through policy advice on economic and social issues, and policy dialogue with all stakeholders, using tools such as ICT for enhanced communication and information flows. Support for public administration reform continued through various capacity development projects for national institutions. Further efforts were undertaken to promote various aspects of good governance by increasing transparency and citizen access to information and improving the efficiency of public administration. The UNCT also worked to increase development aid flow to the country and support the government’s efforts to better coordinate the activities of international development agencies. UN agencies themselves moved towards greater cooperation at the project level in areas of common concern, such as MDG statistics and monitoring, HIV/AIDS, gender equality, support to people with disability, TB prevention and care in Karakalpakstan, and donor coordination.
iv. experiences with joint programmes and HACT, as well as other highlights in coordination Joint Programmes were focused on increasing public awareness on reproductive and sexual health issues, HIV/AIDS, gender, and the prevention of drug use. In addition some joint activities in the areas of HIV/AIDS, disaster preparedness and human rights could serve as a basis for more Joint Programmes in 2009.
Internal UNCT discussion on implementing HACT in Uzbekistan raised a number of concerns about the weakness of national systems, suggesting that it was premature for the UN to switch to direct cash transfers to national partners. Specific concerns include: (a) inadequate government financial and auditing systems and (b) NGO legislation that prevents them from directly receiving donor funds. Key aspects of the proposed 2009 workplan
Consultations with key partners on UNDAF formulation was completed and this year the priority will be conducting Joint Strategy Meeting with key stakeholders for preparing agency specific operational programmes.
The government declared the year 2009 as the “Year of Rural Development, which provides the UN with additional opportunities to promote the MDGs and build strong partnerships with government and partner institutions in supporting the poor and vulnerable rural population.
The recently established government institution on aid coordination within the Ministry of Finance provides yet another window for the UN to engage in capacity development in the area of aid coordination and management.
The UN will also be positioning itself to more effectively respond to the issues of HIV-AIDS in light of the recent Presidential Decree and the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers on HIV/AIDS along with the establishment of a National Commission on HIV/AIDS.
Uzbekistan is a party to six core human rights conventions but requires further strengthening of implementation of these obligations in accordance with international norms and standards. The UN will provide policy advice and programmatic support in these areas.
Finally, strategic dialogue with the Government will be imperative to take forward the UN’s activities on emergency preparedness, coordination and relief.

| Formulation of UNDAF for 2010-2015 |
Transaction costs: | |
Organize CCA/UNDAF trainings at the very initial stage of the process, not in the middle. Give realistic timelines for UNDAF preparation taking into account that UNDAF should be finalized before CPDs. |
| Achievements: | During the process of formulation of UNDAF for 2010-2015 UN System worked together as one team. UNDAF Steering Committee was established and updates from CCA/UNDAF process was the standing item in all monthly UNCT meetings. UNCT allocated enormous efforts for participatory and transparent process during preparation of new UNDAF, all decisions were done in consultations with all UN Agencies. There were some initiatives specially conducted in the framework of UNDAF preparation – mapping of UN’s key partners, establishing of on-line UN Joint events calendar, Meeting with Diplomatic Corps and Bilateral Organizations. As a result of effective work of UNDAF Outcome groups awareness of UN staff on programme activities of UN System in Uzbekistan raised dramatically. |
| Lessons learned: | Non-resident agencies should be informed from initial stages of the process. Country Analysis should be used more widely. Induction workshop based on CCA/UNDAF Giudlines should be conducted for UNDAF Steering Committee |
