  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.

  • Detailed Social and Gender Assessment
    Horticulture Value Chain Infrastructure Project (RRP UZB 51041) Supplementary Document 17: Detailed Social and Gender Assessment SOCIAL AND GENDER ASSESSMENT A. Introduction 1. The importance of agriculture to the economy of Uzbekistan has significantly declined since 2000; in 2016, agriculture contributed 18.1% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP),1 down from 34.4% in 2000. However, agriculture is the second largest employer after services, providing a third of national employment. Uzbekistan also continues to be the major supplier of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables to the neighboring countries, especially Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and 80 other countries around the world. Agriculture production also provides vital livelihood opportunities to majority of rural households. 2. The proposed project will finance the establishment of agro-logistics centers (ALCs), initially for horticulture, in two locations—Andijan and Samarkand—taking into account international best practices. Such infrastructure will provide all necessary facilities and services under one roof: storage, auction, food safety certification, customs clearance, quarantine, transport, shipping, expert market advice, trade finance and commercial banking etc. The project will help increase production of agricultural products with higher value-added and thus will directly and indirectly benefit significant number of people dealing with production, marketing, processing, storage and export of the agricultural produce. 3. The ALCs will help expand horticulture

  • Enhancing the Efficiency of Power Supply to the Consumers in Rural and Remote Areas by Providing the Access to Energy Resources
    ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF POWER SUPPLY TO THE CONSUMERS IN RURAL AND REMOTE AREAS BY PROVIDING THE ACCESS TO ENERGY RESOURCES AND SERVICES, AND BY IMPLEMENTING THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR IN UZBEKISTAN INTRODUCTION. Over the past twenty years, the Republic of Uzbekistan, as a result of diversification and modernization of the economy, has established itself as a developed country in the Central Asian region. The republic overcame difficulties of the transition period, the international financial- economic crisis and maintains dynamic GDP growth, which in the last six years is more than 8 percent. According to the estimates of international financial institutions, the same high rates of economic growth will persist in the near perspective. President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, in his speech at the 6th meeting of the Asia Solar Energy Forum in Tashkent (in 2013) noted that country’s needs in the electric energy will increase in the year 2030 by approximately twofold compared to this year’s indicators and will exceed 105 billion kilowatt hours, taking into account the high advancing development rates in the manufacturing industry and the need to develop the agricultural sector. In this context, taking into account the need to improve the quality of population life, the need arises to analyze and find ways to reliable access to energy resources and services in rural areas, more than 80 percent of the country's vast territory. This would be consistent with a global UN initiative “Sustainable Energy for All”, which provides achieving the following inter-linked objectives by 2030: Ensuring universal access to modern and environmental friendly energy resources; Doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency; Doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
