FOREWORD

Cooperation between the Womens Committee of Uzbekistan and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) began in the 2000s, when ADB supported the publication of the Women and Men in Uzbekistan 20072010: Statistical Bulletin. statistical collection. Since then, various projects and initiatives aimed at achieving gender equality in Uzbekistan have been implemented in close collaboration with ADB. One direction that collaboration has taken is country gender assessments (CGAs). This CGA update is the third in the series, following the first two in 2005 and 2014.

Since it gained independence in 1991, the Republic of Uzbekistan has made gender equality a fundamental democratic principle, enshrined in the Constitution. The country has acceded to over 60 international human rights agreements and joined some international organizations and covenants that promote gender equality and protection of womens rights. Uzbekistan ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1995. Since then, it has regularly endorsed and implemented CEDAW national action plans.

The WCU is the main driving force for gender equality in the country. It has operational branches in each administrativeterritorial body, headed by the deputy head of administration on women. The government provides continuing support to the WCU. A recent decree of the President identified measures to dramatically improve interventions that support women and strengthen the family as an institution. In this context, gender analysis and assessment of projects and initiatives was seen to improve the situation of women and men are timely and constitute an integral part of WCU efficiency.

This CGA update, prepared by ADB in close cooperation with the WCU, is a comprehensive analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of gender equality in Uzbekistan. It covers a wide range of issues related to womens empowerment through increased economic activity in various sectors. The recommendations presented here can be used as basis for developing a long-term strategy for the collaboration of WCU and ADB, including programs aimed at increasing womens employment and income generation, traditional gender stereotypes, and further enhance the role and status of women in Uzbekistan.
