Ms. Kamalova spearheaded the launch of UzbekInfo in Uzbekistan in June 2010 by the Government of Uzbekistan, in partnership with the UN Country Team, as a tool to monitor the country’s progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals and other national priorities. Coinciding with the launch was a four-day training course on the use of this new database. Already, UzbekInfo has been used to prepare the country’s National MDG Report for 2010 and the National Human Development Report of Uzbekistan on Regional Disparities. |
