On Friday, the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the United Nations signed the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for 2026–2030. The ceremony took place at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy in Tashkent.

The new UN Framework aims to promote human development, reduce inequalities, and ensure that everyone can benefit from progress. Over the next five years, the cooperation program will define the strategic directions of 25 UN agencies, funds, and programs to support the achievement of Uzbekistan's national development goals and priorities.

The cooperation program defines six key areas of interaction: effective governance and justice, decent work and social protection, quality healthcare and well-being, inclusive and equitable education, climate action and environmental sustainability, and the integrated development of the Aral Sea region.

The UN Resident Coordinator in Uzbekistan noted that the new Framework places people at the center of the development process, aiming to ensure that everyone—including the most vulnerable groups—has the opportunity to realize their potential and contribute to the development of their communities. She emphasized that during the five-year partnership for 2026–2030, the joint efforts of Uzbekistan and the UN will be aimed at building a more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient state by 2030.

The Framework Program places special emphasis on the Aral Sea region, supporting efforts to transform it into a center for sustainable development. These initiatives aim to improve the population's quality of life by raising education levels, creating new jobs, and ensuring access to clean drinking water.

The document was prepared jointly by the Government of Uzbekistan, under the coordination of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and the UN Country Team in Uzbekistan as a result of comprehensive consultations with government agencies, local authorities, civil society, youth, the private sector, and international partners.
