The "10,000 steps on foot" campaign will be launched again in Uzbekistan
In Uzbekistan, a draft regulation on the procedure for implementing and promoting the "Ten thousand steps on foot" campaign has been published for public discussion until November 13.
The document notes that the campaign will be implemented through the "Eco-active Citizen" platform. Citizens of Uzbekistan aged 18 and older who walk the most steps in Uzbekistan during one year, as well as those who walk no less than 10,000 steps a day, will participate in it and be awarded valuable gifts.
In this process, participants who show high results during one year on the territory of Uzbekistan broken down by the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Tashkent city, and the regions will be determined separately, and the 1st–3rd places across the republic will be determined separately.
The National Committee for Ecology and Climate Change, together with the Ministry of Sports, will regularly conduct monitoring activities aimed at identifying persons who fulfill the requirements of this regulation through the platform in violation of the rules. If attempts to artificially increase the number of steps are detected, the citizen will be disqualified and the results will be canceled.
Restrictions (temporary restrictions) will be placed on the accounts of citizens who violated (suspected of violating) the established order, and participants who won on the platform through deception will be disqualified.
The following are considered a violation of the requirements of the regulation through the platform: using another person's account; using an electronic treadmill, car, scooter, bicycle, mopeds, and other technical means; artificially increasing steps with the help of technical devices; illegal interference in the operation of the platform.
The operator has the right to verify the participant's results in the following cases: when abnormally high indicators are detected; when there are signs of using artificial intelligence or automated programs; when appeals are received from other participants; when technical failures are observed.
In order to popularize daily walking and running among the population, the "Healthy Lifestyle" — "1hls.uz" platform was launched on June 1, 2021, and a payment of 3,000 UZS was established for citizens who walked 10,000 steps. The project was canceled by the presidential decree dated April 6, 2022.
In the president's decree dated March 25, 2026, on comprehensive measures for accelerating environmental education, science, and advocacy within the framework of the "Eco-culture" nationwide project, it was decided to restore the practice of walking 10,000 steps on foot.
