Uzbekistan: Supporting the Improving the Governance Environment for Public-Private Partnerships for Quality Infrastructure and Services
With the support of ADB's Improving the Governance Environment for Public-Private Partnerships for Quality Infrastructure and Services Program, a policy-based loan (PBL) of $150 million, the Government of Uzbekistan is strategically utilizing the private sector to modernize, expand, and improve aging public infrastructure and achieve its objectives of increasing the availability, efficiency, and sustainability of public services.
