Since September 2024, Latvian experts have been providing targeted support to Uzbek public administration officials in the establishment and implementation of a unified strategic planning system within the project “Good Governance – Support to Strengthening the Administrative Capacity of the Public Administration of Uzbekistan.”
This joint effort has resulted in significant achievements. At the end of 2025, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued two key normative acts that laid a solid foundation for strategic planning reform:
- Presidential Decree No. UP‑201 (30 October 2025), which established a unified and comprehensive strategic planning and development system in Uzbekistan, based on the principle goal → action → result;
- Presidential Resolution No. PP‑394 (29 December 2025), which defined clear and practical mechanisms for implementing the system, including the hierarchy of strategic documents, as well as monitoring and performance evaluation arrangements.
The adoption of these political decisions has underlined the practical need for structured training to ensure that the new strategic planning system is clearly understood and consistently applied across the entire public administration. Therefore, the second Training of Trainers (ToT) session represents a timely and essential step towards the system’s effective and sustainable operation.
Training of Trainers Seminar – From System Design to Practical Implementation.
On 15–16 January 2026, the second Training of Trainers seminar of the programme
“Training of Trainers Program: Strategic Planning in Uzbekistan” was held in Tashkent, bringing together more than 30 public administration officials from various Uzbek institutions.
The training was organised by the Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFLA) and funded by GIZ, the German development cooperation organisation, within the project
“Good Governance – Support to Strengthening the Administrative Capacity of the Public Administration of Uzbekistan.”
The seminar was implemented in close cooperation with the project partner – the Agency for Strategic Development and Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which is responsible for ensuring the high‑quality implementation of Presidential decrees in practice.
The seminar was delivered by Latvian experts Agita Kalviņa and Ilze Saleniece.
During the training, participants:
- strengthened their understanding of the content and logic of the newly established strategic planning system;
- developed trainer skills and applied principles of adult learning;
- learned how to design strategic planning training modules and practical exercises;
- prepared to deliver strategic planning training within their own institutions.
In preparation for the next training session on 25–26 February 2026, participant groups are required to prepare and present one of the strategic planning training modules. Upon successful completion of all programme requirements, participants will receive certificates.
