On November 13, this year, a webinar was held with the participation of experts from the State Committee on statistics and the World Bank.

At the event, representatives of the State Committee on statistics and World Bank experts exchanged views on reviewing key policy and institutional actions and recommending Circular economy (CEAO) options for a single target sector in Uzbekistan towards green growth, especially contributing to a greener recovery after Covid-19.

It should be noted that in March 2020, the world Bank launched technical assistance activities funded by the Korea green growth trust Fund (KGGTF) to promote the development of the Circular economy in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries. This activity is carried out within the framework of the world Bank's climate and environment program for Central Asia (CLIENT).

Technical assistance activities supported by the KGGTF aim to collaborate with target countries in analytical work, capacity-building and knowledge-sharing to specifically promote the Circular economy as a path to green growth.

Participants emphasized that the technical assistance activities supported by the KGGTF are aimed at implementing targeted projects between States, improving the capacity of staff, and cooperating in the exchange of information.

The webinar identifies measures that need to be taken to implement joint targeted projects in the future.
