Progress against the development outcomes under the Cross Thematic Area 

Governance is rated Moderately Unsatisfactory. Both key outcomes under this Cross Thematic 

areas have been partially achieved and showing good progress. Throughout the CPS period, the 

Government has shown increasing interest to work with WBG on governance related issues and 

has asked the WBG to help in areas of public procurement, internal control and audit, and tax 

regime. The results in this area have been modest for the World Bank – lack of transparency and 

reliable data remains a serious issue. State-non-state relations did not enable noticeable 

enhancement to citizen engagement.  However, the IFC advisory project focused on building the 

government’s tax audit capacity has significantly improved the capacity of the State Tax 

Committee. Consequently, IFC is rated Moderately Satisfactory. Since 2013, IFC has provided 

advisory services to the State Tax Committee of Uzbekistan (the STC) on development and 

implementation of Risk Based Audit System (RBA) to select risky taxpayers for inspection.
