Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — A “Quality Public Administration” program will be implemented in Uzbekistan in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates, according to a presidential decree.

The document provides for the implementation of agreements between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the UAE on launching a joint program aimed at improving the effectiveness of the public administration system.

Under the decree, the Agency for Strategic Development and Reforms and the Agency for Efficiency in Governance have been designated as responsible bodies for implementing the program.

The decree also provides for the approval of lists of republican and local executive authorities participating in the program, as well as award categories to be determined by the relevant agencies.
