CPF Objective 3.4: Increased reliability and reduced cost of transport and improved efficiency of 

infrastructure service delivery 

Intervention Logic: Investing on regional roads and railways has great potential to alleviating poverty, boosting 

macro and micro economic activity, and reducing income inequality in Uzbekistan. Better connectivity would 

enhance productivity, reduce transport time and costs and enhance access to markets. This will eventually reduce 

prices for consumers, and increase employment and household incomes. 

 

Despite the efforts of regional integration, competitiveness continues to be constrained by infrastructure deficits and 

slow decision making, difficulty in securing and accessing serviced industrial/productive land, and information 

failures that prevent the private sector from coordinating investment activity. Supporting cities, with a focus on fast 

growing medium-sized to become centers of growth would further increase market size and connectivity, making it 

profitable for the private sector to invest. Private-sector investments, in turn, would lead to more jobs, higher wages 

and economies of scale. Through the proposed investments, WBG will support integrated and efficient delivery of 

local services and infrastructures, affordable housing, management of solid waste, replacement/upgrading of aging 

infrastructure and creation of livable urban environment.
