This funding is part of the second phase of the "Rural Infrastructure Development" program, which has a total budget of $340 million. The program will also be financed by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with $120 million and the Uzbek government with $70 million. The initiative aims to improve essential services and facilities in rural areas across Uzbekistan. This investment is expected to significantly enhance the quality of life for rural communities. The project aligns with Uzbekistan's broader goals of economic diversification and regional development.
