Evidence snapshot for Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan has invested heavily in digital skills and IT employment, with 1.2 million+ youth trained through the free online One Million Uzbek Coders programme and 400,000+ international IT certificates earned via Coursera, while a World Bank-backed rural digital inclusion project trained 450+ people across 9 regions and aims to create ~25,000 IT-enabled jobs by 2029. The country has strengthened women's parliamentary representation by raising the candidate quota from 30% to 40% between 2019 and 2024, which corresponded with women's share of elected deputies growing from 32% to 38%. Uzbekistan has also advanced governance transparency and tax compliance through open government data mandates that achieved a Kun.uz-reported score jump from 19 to 63 in two years, and deployed AI risk-scoring for electronic VAT invoices that identified 27 companies issuing 3.9 trillion UZS in fictitious invoices in Q3 2025 alone.
