The people should not serve government institutions; government institutions should serve the people

The ongoing reforms aimed at involving the private sector in the execution of state functions play a significant role in ensuring the effectiveness of state authority and governance bodies. In particular, as part of the Administrative Reforms Concept adopted in 2017 in the Republic of Uzbekistan, six priority directions for a comprehensive reform of the state management system were defined, and—based on a special “Roadmap”—the activities of more than 100 state and economic management bodies were scheduled for review. The material and technical provisions of local governments, along with the wage payment system for their employees, were revised, thereby ensuring the practical independence of local bodies in the formation and management of local budgets.
