Initial internal discussions have begun on possible development of a financing mechanism for EE and RE technologies for housing. 1.8 1,328 (778 or 59% women-led) rural households (6,640 people, including 3,320 female or 50%) invested into low-carbon housing in 2019-2020 through green mortgage scheme. The standard mortgage provided by the national mortgage bank (Qishloq Qurilish Bank) based on blended government and ADB (soft loan) funding envisaged at 30% proportion of women participation 1.9 1,328 (778 or 59% women-led) rural households (6,640 people, including 3,320 female or 50%) have access to new rural houses featuring advanced EE/RE technologies. Note, however, that all new rural housing, even those buildings outside the project’s green mortgage component, are energy efficient in compliance with applicable building codes and the Presidential Decree of November 2022. 1.10 In 2022, the first stage of energy audits of the selected 30 representative EE/LC and standard single-storey rural houses constructed in 2018-2019 as well as 66 apartments in multi-apartment houses constructed in 2019-2022 was conducted in the 9 pilot regions. Four types of rural houses audited (standard, EE, LC with PV systems, and LC with PV systems and solar water heaters). Energy Audits assessed the energy consumption covering summer seasons. 1.11 Initial TNA produced in English, Russian and Uzbek and disseminated among responsible national and regional government agencies (900 copies) with support of the Ministry of Construction as the national implemented partner. 1.12 The Project contributed to the increase of sales volumes of EE/LC equipment for construction of EE and LC housing in each of the nine pilot regions in 2019-2022. In total 1328 units of solar PVs 300W and 600W were installed by 4 national companies. These firms sold their equipment and services to Qishloq Qurilish Invest (total value approximately US $1,895,000) which is was the single customer for all LC housing constructed under RHP. In 2022, the construction of Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) resulted in increased volume of solar EE/LC equipment by 4 vendors: rockwool insulation panels, expanded polystyrene; 15 kW solar PVs (36 units of 450W solar panels, two hybrid inverters, 20 gel batteries); 3 units of solar collectors with 500L tank for hot water; an air-source heat pump, 7 pcs. of heat exchange ventilators. 1.13 One new building code “Passive House” and a National methodology on Energy audit/ inspection has been developed in 2022 and submitted to the Ministry of Construction and Ministry of Energy. Also, drafts of three illustrated building design manuals have been completed this year: Solar radiation calculation methodology for building exterior surfaces ; Facade shading systems ; Green Roofs and Facades were submitted to the Ministry of Construction for review and feedback. 1.14 Building code compliance is indeed mandatory for all new housing constructed in the RHP in 2022. 1.15 In 2022, a study tour to Germany was organized for 11 representatives (1 woman) of 8 ministries and agencies to learn about the Passive House concept and best practices for energy-efficient buildings 1.16 In 2022 the project has received official letter from Ministry of Construction asking project to contribute to the revision of two codes on spatial planning by involving International best practices to spatial planning regulation documents. The project has developed ToR for the International and National consultants, hiring of these specialists is planned to the beginning of 2023. 1.17 In 2022, the project supported 15 local communities (mahallas) in three regions (Khorem, Kashkadarya and Samarqand) in preparing inputs on incorporating climate change and energy efficiency to long-term master plans developed by Qishloq Qurilish Loyiha for the Ministry of Construction. Out of total 129 people participated in the activity 29 were women or total engagement of the women in the testing a community-based mechanism of decision-making to incorporate climate change considerations into decision-making was 22.4 percent. 1.18 a) Cumulatively, 93% of project stakeholders are aware of EE and low carbon housing and infrastructure. The awareness raising level was measured based on analysis of feedback provided by the project stakeholders in the questionnaires filled out within the project capacity building activities, including 35 persons in May 2022, in addition to 201 persons responding in workshops conducted in July-August 2021. b) In 2022, awareness raising campaign by organizing five training and briefing sessions for 130 media representatives (including traditional media as well as widely read bloggers on platforms such as Telegram). In 2021, homeowner’s satisfaction and awareness surveys were conducted in 5 regions where multi-apartment EE/LC houses were constructed which also included the survey of rural homeowners aware of EE and low carbon housing and infrastructure. In this survey, 140 people were surveyed (110 women). Survey revealed that 80% of respondents were aware of the benefits of the EE and low carbon housing and infrastructure. In addition, after the survey, project beneficiaries (homeowners) received training on benefits of the EE and low-carbon houses. Over the training 75 rural house owners participated (38 women). c) Results of the surveys conducted informed that average participation of women is equal. However, this varies depending on the target audiences covered by the project activities: greater involvement of women is documented during awareness campaigns among householders but as related to government organizations the participation of men was higher than that of women due to the gender disbalance in the employed staff. The expected relative awareness levels among women and men beneficiaries has remained the same as documented in previous years of the project (equal awareness among women in households, less engagement among women in government agencies because of their lower representation among staff). 1.19 Implementation of the communications strategy in given report period by the hired PR company included: Production of visibility materials: - short gender balanced animation video on energy efficiency building; - short animation video on nearly zero house (NZEB) constructed in Nurafshon city, Tashkent province; - Infographics about NZEB. A number of public awareness activities: - 3 posts at UNDP web site; - 5 posts, in UNDP facebook webpage; - 2 articles published by the main newspaper of construction industry Ozbekiston bunyodkori ; - 84 references about project activities have appeared in local and national media, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines. 1.20 Mid-term evaluation (MTE) findings extracted, recommendations formulated and addressed through management response in 2022. Project staff and stakeholders are aware of gender issues in project monitoring through shared project and CO monitoring reports. 1.21 Project has continually kept staff and stakeholders aware of gender issues in communications and reports. In 2022, the project supported 15 local communities (mahallas) in preparing inputs on incorporating climate change and energy efficiency into local planning, with engagement of women stakeholders and consideration of gender issues.

It is planned to provide the draft buffer zone concept to the Government end of this year. 1.10. and 1.11. The SMART patrol system testing was launched early this year by State Ecology Committee chairman’s order following the training conducted the year before. However, due to pandemic situation in the country and changes that took place within the State Ecology Committee related with changes in management personnel, the testing of the system was not sufficiently successful this year. However, the system was presented to the new NPC, first deputy chairman of State Ecology Committee, and it was welcomed well by the new management of the Committee. It is planned to conduct a refreshment training on SMART patrol this December for protected area staff, namely inspectors. Further, more unfolded testing of the system is expected to resume the following year. 1.13. This activity was not carried out due to pandemic situation in the country. It will be resumed the following year. 1.14. Ideally, the legal and regulatory mechanism is already in place with the adoption of the Pasture Law by the President of the country in 2019. However, the project worked to developed guidelines on practicing and forming associated form of pasture use for communities this year. The guidelines were developed this year, however they were not discussed widely with participation various experts in area of pasture use and management due to pandemic situation. The discussion of the guidelines will be carried out the following year and will be provided to partners for adoption. 1.15. Pasture management plans were developed this year for 8 pilot forest enterprises in consultation with them. However, these pasture management plans were not widely discussed with respective partner agencies and beneficiaries. It is planned to conduct roundtable discussions to finalize the management plans and hand over to partners/beneficiaries for adoption. 1.16. This activity is related with the project microgrants programme (MGP) which was conducted this year. The call for proposals were advertised in mid-year due to pandemic situation. Verification mission was organized by the project to the project sites to study the sites of the proposed applications. Selection of the projects is carried out via Selection Panel and per approved MGP Concept for 2020. Procurement activities are shifted to the following year. 1.17. Forest restoration activities were carried out in 2730 ha of forest land, including in degraded highland forests, and in addition there was natural regeneration of forest in 300 ha in Akhangaran state forest enterprise. 1.18. This activity is related with the project microgrants programme (MGP) which was conducted this year. The call for proposals were advertised in mid-year due to pandemic situation. Verification mission was organized by the project to the project sites to study the sites of the proposed applications. Selection of the projects is carried out via Selection Panel and per approved MGP Concept for 2020. Procurement activities are shifted to the following year. 1.20. Border security officials did not receive in-service wildlife monitoring and enforcement training and skills development this year due to pandemic situation. This activity is shifted to the following year. 1.21. Due to world pandemic situation, Uzbekistan participated in one online international event, GSLEP Steering Committee meeting, related snow leopard and mountain ecosystem conservation organized by GSLEP during 23-25 October 2020, represented by State Ecology Committee. 1.22. No transboundary meetings were held this year as the MOU on transboundary cooperation was not signed by participatory Central Asian countries except Uzbekistan (last year) and Tajikistan (October, this year). With Uzbekistan and Tajikistan officially signing the MOU, and Kazakhstan endorsing it last year, and awaiting Kyrgyz Republic’s response, it is planned to initiate the talks and cooperation between these two countries the following year. Moreover, it is planned to initiate the transboundary cooperation among Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan the following year either online or offline. 1.8. A number of innovative and nature-based solutions introduced for snow leopard and biodiversity monitoring. 1.14. and 1.16. A number of Technical Assistance Programme low-value grant project identified. 1.17. A ten-year Snow Leopard Action Plan approved. 1.18. A number of law enforcement officers e.g. Customs, Border security, Internal Affairs trained on illegal wildlife trade. 1.20. A transboundary MOU on Snow Leopard Conservation signed by at least two Central Asian countries. 1.8. The project developed the Snow Leopard monitoring SMART application to increase the efficiency of animal survey, specifically the snow leopard and its prey, and monitoring in snow leopard landscapes. A training workshop was organized on the use of the application for pilot protected areas, Gissar state reserve and Chatkal state biosphere reserve. The application was tested in the field and primary feedback collected. The project also introduced a computer software for protected areas that are working with the camera traps. The software would facilitate the work of the protected area staff on sorting the pictures from the camera traps. Nowadays, the protected areas have to manually look through every picture out of hundreds of thousands to identify an animal and this process takes days. The introduced software does the work for the reserve staff. It automatically identifies the pictures with animals. This increases efficiency of the work of the reserve staff. In addition, the project also developed a separate SMART application for monitoring of biodiversity in Uzbekistan, which is different from the one developed for Snow Leopard and its prey species. This SMART application for survey and monitoring of wildlife can be used to survey and monitor any biological species. 1.14. and 1.16. In 2021, a number of workshops were conducted for mountain communities in Surkhandarya region on TAP and the communities were trained on application filling and applying for low value grant project financing. 191 applications were received for review and selection by the approved Selection panel, and 33 applications were ultimately selected for financing in order to introduce alternative sources of income and green as well as nature-based solutions to local communities. 1.17. The Cabinet of Ministers (government) has approved an Action Plan on Snow Leopard Conservation for 2021-2030. This is the first country strategic document that focuses on conservation of one biological species in the history of Uzbekistan. Under the umbrella of this document, state agencies and ministries from various disciplines unite and work together to implement the Action Plan. The Action Plan was issued in AUG, 2021. (CabMin ?05/1 – 220 from 14 AUG 2021). 1.18. Overall, 127 law enforcement officers were trained on illegal wildlife trade per CITES guidelines. The training also covered the national procedures on how to file for an illegal act on wildlife trade and how to report the cases. 1.20. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Transboundary Cooperation on Snow Leopard Conservation in Western Tian Shan and Pamir Alay landscapes in Central Asia has been endorsed and signed by Central Asian countries, namely Uzbekistan, Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan. This is the first in the history of Uzbekistan an MOU on transboundary cooperation on biodiversity conservation that has been signed. Moreover, it is on transboundary cooperation on conservation of a one biological species, the snow leopard. The MOU was signed within the frameworks of UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) in Glasgow, UK that took place during 31 October – 12 November 2021. 1.1.

The agricultural sector comprises 28% of GDP (2019) and employs circa 33.2% of the working population. Moreover, up to 49% of the population’s income is supplemented by agricultural activities. However, intensive farming practices have degraded much of the available arable land and depleted the water resources. Irrigation currently consumes over 90% of total water withdrawals. Despite agricultural reforms to improve irrigation efficiency, Uzbekistan faces significant challenges with desertification and water scarcity – all of which are exacerbated by climate stressors. Uzbekistan has taken steps to include climate change considerations across national policy. One of the steps towards this was the approval of the Strategy for the transition of Uzbekistan to the green economy for the period 2019-2030 which includes climate change considerations. However, to date, a comprehensive framework for climate change adaptation is still lacking. Climate change is addressed, to some extent, in various policy documents, such as the Water Saving and Rational Water Use in Irrigated Land Tenure Strategy, the Uzbekistan Agri-food Development Strategy, National Strategy for Adaptation of Public Health Care System to Climate Change, strategies for adaptation of forestry to climate change, including the Forest Code, National Forest Programme, etc. However, they have not been developed within an overarching climate change policy framework, and still have a sectoral emphasis and are integrated with sector-specific economic development strategies.

Number of innovative and scalable solutions applied through systems integration. In 2021, UNDP continued supporting the initiative through AC Working Groups and systems thinking capabilities were nurtured through a series of workshops for over 60 national and international partners. A special UN resolution was adopted in May 2021, declaring the Aral Sea region as a “zone of ecological innovations and technologies”. To operationalize the Resolution, UNDP has supported the Government in finetuning the Concept Note and in developing the Integrated Roadmap, which, unlike traditional roadmaps, was an output of collective intelligence during workshops and was developed through systems integration, while also considering the existing institutional framework. The Integrated Roadmap is to become effective monitoring and decision-making tool for channeling financing in the region. To generate data insights/evidence to drive decisions, UNDP has commissioned Columbia University’s The Earth Institute to do a climate risk assessment, with impact on key crop categories. Such reports will allow combining evidence with a systems lens to identify strategic intervention points and unlock financing in the region. 2. Number of new project proposals. In line with the implementation of the Integrated Roadmap and to apply holistic and integrated approach, UNDP has developed two new project proposals in 2021. The first project is “Conservation and Sustainable Management of Lakes, Wetlands, and Riparian Corridors as Pillars of a Resilient and Land Degradation Neutral Aral Basin Landscape Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods”. The objective is to enhance the resilience of the ecosystems and livelihoods in Lower Amudarya and Aral Sea Basin (LADAB) through land degradation neutrality (LDN) compatible integrated land-water management. The project will ensure promotion of women, youth and vulnerable groups and equitable participation opportunities. The second project is “Strengthening the resilience of local populations and promoting the green, inclusive development of the most vulnerable communities in the Aral Sea region”. The project aims to reduce/mitigate environmental and socio-economic challenges with a view to increasing the resilience of the local population and promoting green and inclusive development. 1. Donor mapping conducted through the prism of Integrated Roadmap, for monitoring of the operationalization of the Integrated Roadmap. 2 Project proposal development initiated in line with the Integrated Roadmap. 3. Dedicated online Data Repository developed for the Aral Sea region for facilitation of evidence-based decision making developed. 1. The Government has adopted a Cabinet of Ministers degree adopting the Concept note on “Zone of ecological innovations and technologies”, as well as the Integrated Roadmap for the sustainable development of the Aral Sea region (2022-2026), which was developed through technical assistance of UNDP. Donor mapping through the prism of the Integrated Roadmap conducted and UN and IFIs/multilateral actors mobilized around the Integrated Roadmap. 2. Number of additional project proposals. In line with the implementation of the Integrated Roadmap, UNDP has developed one new project proposal for the Aral Sea region and funds have been duly mobilized from MPHSTF in December 2022. This Project labeled “Empowering Youth Towards a Brighter Future through Green and Innovative Development of the Aral Sea region” focuses on green technologies and empowering through innovative solutions in the Aral Sea region. Another large-scale regional project proposal, involving Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, is under development. This climate change adaptation project will focus on strengthening the resilience of the region’s agricultural sectors, by developing, piloting and scaling-up landscape and value chain approaches to enhancing livelihoods of the inhabitants of the Aral Sea region. 3. To facilitate data insights/evidence to drive decisions, within the framework of this projects, UNDP has developed an online Data Repository for the Aral Sea region, as a separate page within the open portal of Uzbekistan, to facilitate an evidence-based and inclusive decision-making in the Region. The submitting CO should identify specific indicators for each result area, being as specific as possible. Each indicator should include a baseline (if available), target, source of data, and timeline.

This translates to a more effective rollout of community-based care and support services, including those tailored to the needs of children with disabilities - supporting specifically the first transformation of a residential care facility for children with disabilities. This is achieved through training, evidence generation, the provision of practical tools that enable stakeholders to perform their functions in an accessible and inclusivemanner, and through consultations with relevant stakeholders including OPDs.The programme focuses on enhancing the capacity of service providers to offer coordinated support to survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). This is part of a broader strategy to develop a more robust andinclusive framework for all underrepresented groups of people with disabilities, especially women and children with disabilities. The capacity building extends to NASP and organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs), utilizing NASP’s advanced case management system. This system is pivotal in delivering tailored and efficient social services, ensuring that interventions are precise and directly address the needs of individuals with disabilities. Central to this effort is also the development, testing, and deployment of a Human Rights-Based Inclusive Social Services Provision Tool. This tool is designed to further help service providers ensure that their services are tailored to the specific needs of persons with disabilities, thereby enhancing the quality and effectiveness of social service delivery.

This indicator measures the extent to which the capacity of local government officials (khokimiyats, kengashes, and makhallas) has been strengthened to apply Results-Based Management (RBM) and Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) principles in their planning, budgeting, and public administration processes. It assesses the progress from baseline capacity (pre-training assessment) to improved competency levels (post-training assessment) after capacity-building interventions under the Joint Programme. Baseline (2023): Average score of 30% in pre-training assessments. Target: 40% average score in post-training assessments by 2025; 80% average score in post-training assessments by 2028. Means of Verification: Training assessment reports; Participant feedback surveys; Independent performance evaluations; Certification program completion records. Rationale: Strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of local government officials is critical to institutionalizing RBM and RBB practices, ensuring better strategic planning, resource management, accountability, and service delivery. It supports the broader goal of establishing coherent, inclusive, and results-driven local governance systems in Uzbekistan. Key Activities Contributing to the Indicator: Conducting institutional analysis, functional review, and business process reengineering of local governance bodies; Developing and delivering customized RBM and RBB training and certification programs; Supporting the application of RBM and RBB in developing local development strategies and budget programs; Monitoring and evaluating officials' competencies through standardized pre- and post-training assessments. Key Assumptions: Sufficient political commitment and allocation of human and financial resources for capacity development. Active participation and engagement of local officials in the training and certification programs. Risk Factors: Potential turnover of trained local government staff. Insufficient follow-up support or institutional resistance to adopting RBM/RBB principles. This indicator captures the number of adolescents and youth (boys and girls, young women and men) who actively participated in structured consultations with local governments. It includes participation through platforms such as Youth Advisory Boards, Youth and Khokim dialogues, and digital platforms like U-Report. The indicator reflects efforts to institutionalize youth participation in decision-making processes at the local level. This indicator measures the percentage of women, youth, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities in pilot regions who report satisfaction with the quality, adequacy, and responsiveness of local public and social services. It reflects improvements in evidence-based planning, results-based budgeting, and coordination among local governance bodies as a result of the project’s capacity-building efforts. This indicator measures the number of functional youth engagement platforms — such as Youth Advisory Boards, participatory budgeting platforms, U-Report digital platforms, or other formal mechanisms — established or strengthened at the local level to enable meaningful participation of adolescents and youth in local governance, service delivery monitoring, and decision-making processes. Platforms must be operational, inclusive, and allow youth to voice their needs, priorities, and proposals. This indicator measures the proportion of regional and local development strategies that explicitly integrate RBM and RBB principles into their planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks. RBM and RBB principles include the formulation of clear results chains (outcomes, outputs, activities), establishment of measurable performance indicators, setting of outcome/output targets, and alignment of budget allocations with strategic objectives. This indicator measures the number of Action Plans prepared by local governance bodies (khokimiyats, kengashes, and makhallas) that explicitly apply Results-Based Management (RBM) and Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) principles. Action Plans must be developed through participatory approaches, align strategic goals with measurable targets and indicators, and link budgets to outcomes addressing the specific needs of children, adolescents, youth, and vulnerable groups. This indicator measures the number of pilot districts that define, adopt, and implement new or improved coordination models to strengthen local cooperation among service providers (e.g., education, health, social services, mahallas) for the benefit of children, adolescents, youth, and their families. A functional model must demonstrate clear roles and responsibilities among local actors, mechanisms for cross-sectoral collaboration, and improved service responsiveness to community needs.
