INTRODUCTION

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan have been
adopted to radically reform all spheres of state and
public life.The main result of the reforms was the

activity of the population and public associations,
strengthening social protection, reducing poverty and
ensuring the inviolability of private property.
Systematic work has been done in various areas.
In order to continue this practice, the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan signed Decree No. PD-60 of
January 28, 2022 "On the Development Strategy of
New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026". The document
approved the Development Strategy of New
Uzbekistan for 2022-2026. The Development Strategy
consisted of seven areas:
1.
to build a people's state by enhancing human
dignity and further developing a free civil society;
2.
to make the principles of justice and the rule of
law the most basic and necessary condition for
development in our country;
3.
to develope of the national economy
considerably and ensuring high growth rates;
4.
to pursue a fai social policy, development of
human capital;
5.
to ensure spiritual development and bringing
the industry to a new level;
6.
to approach to global issues based on national
interests;
7.
to strengthe the security and defense potential
of our country, pursuing an open, pragmatic and active
foreign policy.
To achieve these goals, in 2022 alone, it is planned to
implement 398 measures worth a total of 55 trillion
soums and $ 11.7 billion [1].
MAIN PART AND DISCUSSION
The Development Strategy is a logical continuation of
the Action Strategy. First, the Development Strategy
has grown in size. Second, the strategy became more
specific and 100 specific goals were set to achieve the
result.
The first direction of the development strategy is “to
build a people's state by enhancing human dignity and
further developing a free civil society”, which is the
main priority of the whole strategy, so to speak, the
country. This is because the main goal of most states
and societies is to build a humane, people-oriented
social state and a prosperous life. The remaining
directions of the development strategy will contribute
to the emergence of the first direction.
It envisages, firstly, the enhancement of human
dignity, and secondly, the establishment of a people's
state through the further development of a free civil
society. The increase of human dignity is achieved
through the satisfaction of their primary, social needs.
Indian philosophers emphasize that the first measure
of a person’s dignity is that their belly is assessed by its
fullness. The second part of the direction envisages
further development of a free civil society. There are
many definitions of the concept of civil society, among
which the definition of the German scientist Georg
Wilhelm Friedrich Gegel fully reflects the essence of
the concept. In his view, civil society is a society that
allows a person to fully realize their potential [2].
The first direction of the strategy has 12 goals, 42 tasks,
each of which is very important in building a
democratic state that serves to glorify human dignity,
creating a comfortable living environment for the
population.
First of all
, the task is to increase the efficiency of the
mahalla institute, to make it a cornerstone of public
administration and control. It is no coincidence that

this task has been identified as a priority. After all, the
neighborhood is the closest link to the population and
families. In this regard, in recent years, important
measures have been taken to develop the
infrastructure of the mahalla, the introduction of the
system of mahalla work. Starting from this year, the
institute of assistant governor has been introduced in
order
to
develop
entrepreneurship,
provide
employment and reduce poverty in the mahallas.
Targeted work is being carried out on the socio-
economic development of the neighborhood, financial
independence, employment, communication with
citizens. Now the work in this direction will continue in
a new direction. In this regard, first of all, an active
model of the neighborhood will be created. The main
activity of this system is to attract the population to
entrepreneurship and provide employment. From
January 1, 2022, the position of Assistant District (City)
Hokim
for
Entrepreneurship
Development,
Employment and Poverty Reduction has been
established in each mahalla [3]. In addition, in order to
create a new system of work with young people and
women in the neighborhoods, ensure their
employment and support entrepreneurial initiatives,
the positions of youth leaders [4] and women activists
[5] were introduced in each neighborhood.
Second
, the task is to make local Councils of People's
Deputies the main link in solving existing problems in
the regions. In recent years, local councils have been
actively involved in issues such as conducting surveys
of executive bodies, commenting on decisions,
budgeting and oversight. Regional development
strategy programs are now being developed on the
ground. A system of reporting hearings on network
and regional programs to create more than six million
jobs will be launched. Work will be carried out to make
the Councils the main link in the socio-economic
development of the regions, improving the living
standards of the population, the formation and control
of local budgets. The activities of the standing
committees of local councils are coordinated with the
committees of the Senate. These measures will serve
to ensure the transparency of public authorities by
strengthening parliamentary oversight.
It is planned to develop a draft law "On regulations of
regional, district and city councils of people's deputies"
aimed at further improving the legal framework of
local councils, as well as a draft law "On control over
the Councils of People's Deputies" to expand the
control functions of local councils.
In addition, the transfer of issues such as the
construction of drinking and sewage, drinking water
and other infrastructure, approval of employment
programs to the competence of district (city) Councils
of People's Deputies.
Third
, it is defined as the adaptation of the institutional
framework of local government to modern
requirements. The development strategy includes
expanding the financial capacity of local governments
to effectively address local issues, increasing public
accountability, creating a legal framework for the
election of governors, expanding the practice of
determining the number of staff and structures of
executive bodies in the regions, forming a "register of
powers"; Important measures related to the launch of
more than 40 geoportals have been expressed.
As an experiment, it is planned to expand the powers
and capabilities of khokimiyats in 28 districts and cities
to develop the region and solve problems. Separate
laws will also be enacted to create a legal framework
for clearly defining the powers of local councils and
governors. Today, both systems operate under the
Law “On Local Government” adopted in 1993 [6].

Fourth
, it is planned to transform the activities of
public administration on the basis of the principle of
"orientation to serve the citizens." Today, the situation
in this area has completely changed as a result of the
implementation of the important principle put forward
by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan: "The
people should serve our people, not government
agencies". The activities of state bodies are aimed at
communicating with the people, organizing each work
based on the views, demands and wishes of the
people. This issue is also defined in Article 2 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan. According
to it, the state expresses the will of the people and
serves its interests. Government agencies and officials
are accountable to society and citizens [7]. Therefore,
it is planned to direct all activities of ministries and
departments to serve the citizen on the basis of the
principle of "State - People's Servant". It is also planned
to develop a draft law "On State Control" in order to
systematize all types of state control and establish
clear mechanisms and procedures for their
implementation. In addition, for this purpose, there is
a need to further increase the efficiency of state
budget expenditures and improve the work of public
financial control.
Fifth
, it is planned to introduce a compact,
professional,
fair,
high-performance
public
administration system. Today, there are 25 ministries in
Uzbekistan. There are about 100 republican public
administration bodies, including state committees, age
inspection and other public administration bodies of
the Republic [8]. In our opinion, this is a lot for a state
with an average state budget.
Sixth
, the system of public administration is aimed at
streamlining the administrative apparatus and
optimizing work processes. It sets a number of tasks:
to triple the number of some public functions
transferred to the private sector, expand public-private
partnerships and the widespread introduction of
digital technologies; accelerating the decentralization
of public administration and ensuring the transparency
of government agencies; organization of effective
work
of
territorial
departments
of
public
administration bodies at all levels in solving the tasks
of regional development.
Seventh
, it is planned to further increase the role of the
chambers of the Oliy Majlis and political parties in the
consistent continuation of reforms in the country. In
this regard, it is planned to expand its powers in
addressing important domestic and foreign policy
tasks, strengthen the use of parliamentary oversight in
the unconditional implementation of laws, consult
with the general public in lawmaking and
parliamentary oversight. In addition, the practice of
assigning specific strategic tasks to state budget
organizations and sending inquiries to them will be
introduced. It is planned to strengthen the
participation of local deputies and senators in the
development of the regions, including the introduction
of remote work directly with the regions. The
introduction of e-parliament is important in the
implementation of the measures outlined in this
regard. In this regard, the activities of the Senate with
local Councils will be fully electronic.
Eighth
, it is planned to modernize the process of
Norma's creativity, to ensure strict implementation of
legislative acts. Within this framework, the concept of
development of the legislation of the Republic of
Uzbekistan will be developed.
Ninth
, the work on digitalization of public services will
be further accelerated in order to develop the system
of e-government, increase the share of e-government
services to 100% and eliminate bureaucracy. Services
through mobile applications will be expanded and 20%

of them will be transferred to the private sector.
Mobile ID system of personal identification in the
provision of public services will be introduced, the
exchange of information between government
agencies and private organizations through the system
of "e-government". It will also simplify the provision of
public services to the elderly and people with
disabilities, eliminate the practice of requiring other
supporting documents through the introduction of the
project "Digital Passport of Citizens."
Tenth
, the task is to organize the civil service system on
the basis of modern standards. In 2019, the Civil Service
Development Agency under the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan was established, the
authorized state div for civil service affairs,
responsible for the implementation of a unified state
policy in the field of human resources development
and personnel management in government agencies
and organizations [9]. The draft law "On Civil Service"
was developed and adopted by the Oliy Majlis [10].
Now the legal framework for the elimination of
corruption in the civil service, the recruitment of
personnel on a competitive basis and the evaluation of
their effectiveness will be improved. It is planned to
introduce the "National Rating" system and, most
importantly, to increase the level of professional
training, material and social security of civil servants.
Eleventh
, it is planned to improve the mechanisms of
communication with the people. At the same time, the
national program "People's State", which provides for
the implementation of the idea of "the state must
serve the people," will be consistently implemented. It
is ensured that appeals to government agencies and
organizations are handled on a single online platform
for dealing with appeals. "Digital control" will be
established over the timing and quality of
consideration of appeals by government agencies. It
should be noted that 2017 was declared the Year of
Dialogue with the People and Human Interests in
Uzbekistan [11]. In 2019, the People's Receptions were
established [12], and now their legal status will be
improved.
Twelfth
, the organizational and legal framework for
the implementation of effective public oversight will
be improved. In 2014, Article 32 of the Constitution of
the Republic of Uzbekistan included the exercise of
public control as a political right of citizens. As a result,
the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Public
Control" was adopted in the same year and re-enacted
in 2018. The law defines the objects, subjects,
principles, forms and procedures of public control [13].
The development strategy envisages the development
of modern forms of public control, the introduction of
the practice of checking the quality of implementation
of regional, sectoral and state programs on the basis of
collective appeals.
The fourth direction of the development strategy also
serves to uncover the issue we are exploring. This
direction is called “to pursue a fai social policy,
development of human capital”. It sets out the
following important goals of the welfare state:
Creating opportunities for every citizen to study in a
specific profession at public expense. To double the
scope of vocational training, to train a total of 1 million
unemployed people in vocational training and to
increase the participation of non-governmental
educational institutions in this process to 30%;
Increase the coverage of preschool education from the
current 67% to at least 80%;
Bringing the quality of education to a new level in the
preschool education system;

years not only in Uzbekistan, but also in other
countries, are to build affordable housing by
subsidizing poor families from the budget, to establish
strong budget sources not only in districts but also in
mahallas. special emphasis is placed on the
employment and employment of disadvantaged
families, women and young people, and thus on their
net income. Thus, it is safe to say that the policy
pursued to find a solution to the problem of
unemployment, which poses the greatest threat to our
economy.
It should be noted that the people's and social state
should not create dependency. In our view, sociality
should imply equality, not the granting of privileges
and preferences. Because some privileges, on the one
hand, lead to the violation of equal rights of citizens,
on the other hand, can also lead to corruption.
Now it is necessary to effectively implement the tasks
set out in the Development Strategy, and to pay special
attention to equality in the further development of civil
society. Then the establishment of a people's and
social state will be achieved.
