Curing Institutional Blindness: Data-Driven Strategy Planning in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is transforming national governance by moving from fragmented, "blind" vertical planning to a unified, evidence-based ecosystem. This showcase demonstrates a systemic transition where high-level strategic goals are aligned with horizontal execution and real-time monitoring. We explore a digital platform that integrates national and sectoral strategies with spatial data to ensure that public investments are determined by verified need rather than administrative influence. The session highlights how this shift from "institutional blindness" to data-driven transparency enables the government to address critical infrastructure gaps—such as rural sanitation—while actively involving the public and Gen Z in the monitoring and evaluation process. Learn how a new generation of data-native public servants is ensuring that quality infrastructure serves as a foundation for human dignity nationwide.
