In Uzbekistan, the "Uzbekistan without Bureaucracy" initiative has been launched
From September 21 to November 20, citizens and entrepreneurs of Uzbekistan will be able to report unnecessary certificates, procedures, and other bureaucratic barriers through a special electronic platform. The "Uzbekistan without Bureaucracy" initiative is being implemented as part of the "Eliminating Bureaucracy – 2030" program.
"Uzbekistan without Bureaucracy" Initiative Launched in Uzbekistan
A certificate, an application, another certificate. Then a queue, a repeat visit to the agency, and wasted time. Almost everyone has probably faced such bureaucracy at least once.
Now, citizens and entrepreneurs themselves are being invited to report such cases. The public initiative "Uzbekistan without Bureaucracy" has started its work in Uzbekistan. It is being implemented as part of the "Eliminating Bureaucracy – 2030" program.
In recent years, many public services have already been converted into electronic format. Today, about 80 percent of them can be obtained online. In 2025 alone, more than two thousand mandatory requirements in the field of entrepreneurship were abolished.
However, paper red tape and redundant procedures still persist. In some places, a person is required to provide a document that is already in the state database. In others, one has to apply multiple times for the same issue. And sometimes, the procedure itself takes much longer than it should.
It is precisely such cases that they now want to collect directly from the population.
From September 21 to November 20, citizens and entrepreneurs can report a bureaucratic barrier they have encountered through a special electronic platform.
At the same time, it is important not just to complain. It is necessary to describe the specific problem: what the redundant procedure is, how much time or resources it consumes, and, if possible, to propose a solution.
After that, the submissions will be studied by relevant specialists. If a proposal is deemed justified and feasible, it could become the basis for changing existing procedures, digitalizing a service, or even making amendments to regulatory documents.
In other words, this time people are being offered not just to point out where the system works inconveniently, but to directly participate in simplifying it.
The goal of the program until 2030 is to reduce redundant state functions, decrease the number of requirements for business, and transfer even more public services into electronic format.
How effectively this mechanism will work in practice will largely depend on what problems citizens bring up for discussion — and which of them will actually be resolved.
We attended the press conference dedicated to the "Eliminating Bureaucracy – 2030" program and decided to take a closer look at how the new initiative will work.
