By Demir Azizov - Trend:
Tashkent hosted a presentation of the 2016-2020 UN Development Action Framework (UNDAF) for Uzbekistan, UN's office in the country said on its website Sept. 16.
The five-year program, signed by the Uzbek government and the UN office in the country in June, is consistent with the main development paradigms adopted by the UN.
The document is based on the concept of the country's socially-oriented development, adopted by the government to build an open democratic constitutional state with a steadily developing economy.
Thematic areas of the UNDAF are closely linked with Uzbekistan's development priorities that have been reflected in government programs and strategies.
The new program will be realized in the following thematic areas: all-round economic development with a focus on employment and social protection, quality of healthcare and education for a full realization of human potential; protection of environment for a sustainable development; efficient management to improve the quality of public services and protection of rights.
Uzbekistan has been a UN member since March 1993.
