Our team, led by Konstantinos Bouas and Argyris Biskinis, recently concluded a productive field mission in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (10–14 March 2025), as part of the UNDP-funded project: “Enhancing Capacities of Public Servants in Developing, Monitoring, and Evaluating Digital Entrepreneurship and Digital Economy Policies.”
In collaboration with Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Digital Technologies, and the Centre for Digital Economy Research, our team conducted comprehensive consultations to:
📌 Assess existing capacities of public institutions in developing, monitoring, and evaluating youth-focused digital entrepreneurship policies.
📌 Identify gaps and areas for institutional improvement.
📌 Define capacity-building needs and begin shaping an effective M&E framework to support evidence-based policy making.

We sincerely thank our Uzbek partners for their excellent collaboration and warm hospitality. Stay tuned as we continue to support Uzbekistan’s efforts to create robust digital policies that empower youth, drive innovation, and foster economic resilience! 💻🌟
