Implementation of the principles of effective public governance for sustainable development in Uzbekistan

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issues of consistency of the national legislation of Uzbekistan with the Principles of effective public administration in the interests of sustainable development. The practical implementation of these principles is of great importance for increasing the efficiency, accountability and transparency of government bodies at all levels in achieving the goal embodied in the 2030 Agenda and, accordingly, national sustainable development goals. The core elements of efficiency, accountability and inclusiveness under Goal 16 of sustainable development, are reference points that guide the vector of governance for sustainable development. The paper presents an analysis of the regulatory framework of the public administration system in Uzbekistan, the main directions of administrative reform aimed at creating independent and competent institutions that effectively interact with each other within the framework of the professional civil service. This takes into account national conditions, opportunities and level of development, national strategies and priorities.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was formed by general scientific and special methods of learning of phenomena and processes (analytical survey, generalization, system-oriented, functional-analytical, statistical approaches). Monitoring and analysis of regulations and official documents of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of public administration, international and national statistical data were carried out.Results. The study summarized and systematized the regulatory framework aimed at ensuring the improvement of the public administration system within the framework of one of the main elements of Sustainable Development Goal 16 - efficiency. In general, the established national legal framework was found to meet the requirements for the creation of effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.Discussion and conclusion. The active implementation of legislative and institutional reforms by the government of Uzbekistan initiated the creation of a more open and transparent system of effective governance, contributing to the implementation of the SDGs in the republic. However, the existing problems and challenges indicate that this system is still far from being perfect and requires a systematic approach to create legal and institutional mechanisms for implementing the principles of effective public administration.
