The Development Strategy, which is a logical continuation of the Action Strategy, clearly defines the development trends of Uzbekistan in the near and medium term, the directions for the integrated development of all spheres of state and public life.

The Development Strategy defines "100 goals in the name of human honor and dignity" in 7 priority areas.

As part of the implementation of the State Program, it is planned to allocate funds in the amount of 55 trillion soums and US$11.7 billion.

The chambers of the Oliy Majlis were determined to be responsible for ensuring the implementation of the directions of the State Program for building a people’s state by improving human dignity and further developing a free civil society.

Parliamentary control will be established over the implementation of priority tasks aimed at the integrated socio-economic development of the regions, ensuring employment and increasing the incomes of the population.

In particular, the need was noted for strengthening control over the activities of territorial executive bodies by forming a deputy corps in the Kengash of people’s deputies acting on a permanent basis, and expanding their powers.

The state program also stipulates measures to improve the efficiency of the mahalla institution, turning it into the main link in public administration and control. At the same time, such tasks as expanding the powers of mahallas, their relations with the public, and assisting in the effective establishment of the activities of assistant khokims in solving socio-economic problems in the regions will be fulfilled.

In addition, such priority areas have been identified as bringing the institutional framework for the activities of local government bodies in line with modern requirements, transforming the activities of public administration bodies based on the principle of "Provision of services to citizens", the introduction of a compact, professional, fair, highly efficient public administration system.
