Description of project
The first high-level project on administrative reform in Uzbekistan, working directly with two Deputy Prime Ministers to develop a coherent and comprehensive strategy for implementing a public administration reform agenda, resulting in a government 'Conceptsia on Administrative Reform'.
The project was organised in four components:
- Institutional development - focusing on a structural and functional review of central government ministries, the transfer of functions to regional government, and the development of local self-government (makhallas). Pilot studies were conducted in the Ministries of Health, Education and the oblasts Jizzak and Samarkand. A new agency for Communal Services was designed, set up and developed during the project.
- Legislative reform - focusing on the development of draft legislation on regional government, local self-government, and the Civil Service in co-operation with the Uzbek Parliament
- Human Resource Development - focusing on developing objective criteria for the recruitment, assessment and career development of a management cadre of senior civil servants in close co-operation with the Personnel Department of the Presidential Administration
- Training - focusing on the creation and development of a Public Administration Management Development Centre to provide in-service courses and a two-week standard Management Development Training Programme for senior civil servants at central and regional levels of government.
The project was highly evaluated by the Government of Uzbekistan and the European
Commission, in particular for its flexible, beneficiary-led approach, its comprehensive
and coherent policy recommendations, the appropriateness of its work plan to the local
context and the sustainable development of local institutions.
