    Conceptual approach to Green Economy in Uzbekistan

    To ensure sustainable economic and human development in the long term, taking into account global trends and challenges, the transition to a “green” economy is considered as one of the most effective tools for maintaining long-term development, which results in improved living standards and social justice while significantly reducing environmental risks and shortages of natural resources.

  • Food policy concept

    Sustainable Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition

    The research focuses on formulating the concept of national policy on sustainable agriculture, food security and nutrition. The policy will aim at creating conditions for balanced nutrition of the population which is a vital prerequisite for population’s health and physical and intellectual development of the nation.
    The concept is being developed within the three main directions: (i) providing knowledge on healthy and safe nutrition and rational nutrition norms; (ii) ensuring accessibility of food products in accordance with the principles of rational nutrition norms; (iii) creating an effective legal framework for observance of norms, standards and quality of food products.

The CER activities and outputs contributed drastically to a change in the mind-set and brought about a series of new concepts, information and knowledge that were indispensable for a successful transition from the command to the market economy. They complemented and supplemented the advocacy role of UNDP and other donor institutions.

CER over the years of its operation has become an institution that provides recommendations which are regularly used by key government ministries and agencies within the economic policy decision-making process. The Center represents a bright example of an institution of a new type, capable of initiating dialogue and developing mechanisms for reaching nationwide consensus on development issues.

The clients are fully satisfied with the Center's output and are pleased with the task team approach in preparing policy option papers. The Center's outputs were found to be quite useful and have had some immediate impact on economic policies.
