What the Agency Does

The Agency is involved throughout the strategic planning cycle — from analysis and the development of new initiatives to implementation monitoring and evaluation of results.

Strategic Planning

The Agency develops methodological approaches for the preparation of strategic planning documents and supports the establishment of an integrated strategic planning system at national, sectoral and regional levels.

Analysis and Development of Initiatives

The Agency studies socio-economic developments, key development challenges, international experience, research findings and recommendations from the expert community. Based on this analysis, proposals are developed for new development priorities and systemic reforms.

Coordination

The Agency coordinates the activities of strategic planning units within ministries and government agencies, as well as the relevant information and analytical groups in the regions. This helps align sectoral and regional strategies with the country’s overarching national priorities.

Quality of Strategic Documents

Draft strategies and other strategic planning documents undergo the quality review procedures established within the strategic planning system. The review considers whether objectives are well-founded, whether planned actions are linked to expected outcomes, whether measurable indicators have been established, and whether the documents comply with the applicable requirements.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The strategic planning process does not end once a strategy has been approved. The Agency participates in monitoring progress towards target indicators, analyses the results of strategic document implementation and, where necessary, develops proposals to improve implementation mechanisms.

Turning Strategies into Real Change

The Agency does not replace ministries, government agencies or local executive authorities that are directly responsible for implementing public policy in their respective areas.

Its role is to help build an integrated system of strategic governance.

This approach connects the country’s long-term development vision with the day-to-day activities of public authorities and measurable outcomes.

The Agency’s Development

The Agency’s present-day model is the result of the gradual development of Uzbekistan’s strategic governance system.

2021 Establishment of the Strategic Development Agency
On 19 July 2021, the Strategic Development Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan was established. At the initial stage, its work focused primarily on improving the country’s investment attractiveness, assessing the competitiveness of sectors and regions, identifying promising investment opportunities and supporting strategically important projects.
Completed
2022 Transition to Comprehensive Reforms
The Agency for Strategic Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan was established on the basis of the Strategic Development Agency. Its mandate was significantly expanded: designing comprehensive reforms, establishing expert and project groups, preparing roadmaps, coordinating the development of relevant decisions, and monitoring and evaluating reform implementation.
Completed
2023 Strengthening the Analytical Function
The next stage strengthened the Agency’s role as a centre for strategic analysis and the development of forward-looking initiatives. Greater emphasis was placed on identifying systemic challenges, studying international reform experience, analysing research findings and considering recommendations from international organisations and experts.
Completed
2025 An Integrated Strategic Planning System
On 30 October 2025, Uzbekistan introduced an integrated strategic planning and development system based on the principle of “Goal — Action — Result.” The Agency received its current name and became the authorized government body responsible for organizing the strategic planning system, as well as the working body of the Coordination Council for Strategic Planning and Development. In December 2025, the practical mechanisms of the new system were established.

The Agency Today

Today, the Agency brings together strategic planning, analysis, coordination and results evaluation within a single system.

It works with ministries and government agencies, local executive authorities, analytical and research institutions, the expert community and international organisations.

One of its important areas of work is monitoring the implementation of the country’s strategic objectives, including the indicators of the Uzbekistan — 2030 Strategy.

The ultimate measure of the Agency’s work is not the number of documents produced, but their practical impact — the extent to which strategic objectives are translated into concrete actions and those actions lead to tangible outcomes for the country and its people.

Strategic planning is the path from a long-term objective to a concrete result. The Agency helps make this path systematic, measurable and coordinated.
