Building country systems for statistical, fiduciary, safeguard, and statistical capacity 

underlie the foundation of this CPF. As already discussed above and in the SCD, lack of or 

limited data impede analysis of past performance, evidence-based policy-making, and public 

accountability and, in addition, make it difficult to monitor the progress of such planned outcomes 

as job creation and greater access to services. Similarly, weaknesses in fiduciary systems including 

lack of data and inadequate transparency compromise the results of public spending, which in turn 

undermines the rule of law and impedes successful implementation of WBG-financed projects. 

Equally, weaknesses in managing social risks, including involuntary resettlement, may delay 

project implementation and potentially harm affected people. While recent amendments have 

brought Uzbekistan’s legislation closer to international standards for social safeguards, gaps 

remain and, unless addressed, will continue to increase transaction costs, delay implementation, 

and potentially negatively impact citizens.
