Housing for Integrated Rural Development Investment Program - Tranche 3 The Housing for Integrated Rural Development (HIRD) Investment Program is a five-year, $500 million multitranche financing facility (MFF) approved in 2011. Under component 1, new modern houses are built in planned rural community sites, on land plots serviced with electricity, gas, water supply, and roads provided by local governments. ADB loans to the government are onlent to participating commercial banks (PCBs) that provide subloans to rural residents who enter into contracts with Qishloq Qurilish Invest (QQI) to build new houses. Under the MFF, ADB has financed 19,606 subloans. Under component 2, the capacity of local governments to prepare and implement integrated rural development plans and investment promotion strategies is being improved. Component 2 is financed entirely by the government. Under component 3, the government is implementing measures to improve the enabling environment for entrepreneurs and micro and small enterprises to expand or establish new businesses in rural areas. Component 3 is also financed entirely by the government. A third tranche of $100 million to fund mortgages for houses was approved in 2015. ADB procurement procedures was followed for the main civil works contracts for houses and implemented nationwide involving local governments and using other institutional arrangements and structures practiced in public procurement.
Distribution Network Digital Transformation and Resiliency Project Distribution Network Digital Transformation and Resiliency project aims to rehabilitate medium voltage distribution substations and associated overhead lines across the country and modernize the distribution system operations. The project is aligned with the following impact: social and economic development through provision of green infrastructure services achieved. The project outcome: distribution grid operation reliability and efficiency improved--will be achieved through the following outputs: Output 1: Distribution substations modernized and digitalized; Output 2: Women's energy-based livelihoods improved; and Output 3: Institutional capacity for sustainability and climate resilience enhanced.
Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program - Tranche 4 The current sewerage system in Fergana and Margilan is also used by Tashlak and nearby districts. There is one treatment plant covering these cities which was built in the 1970s and because of the aging infrastructure and inadequate maintenance the sewage treatment facility is only operating at 20% of its designed capacity. The treated sewage has high levels of pollutants. Sewage is discharged into the nearby river when the sewage treatment facility is non-operational. Due to frequent sewer breakage, the surrounding streets and land are highly polluted. Where expansion has occurred in the cities, these areas have not been covered by the sewerage system.

The government has decentralized many WSS services to devolve greater ownership and responsibility to local level, but the success at the level of local water enterprises is limited, with little accountability and incentives to improve services. Vodokanal staff have had limited opportunities for upgrading their skills. Consumption of electricity is high. Improvements are required in O&M procedures, system maintenance, customer relations, collection rate, performance monitoring, and benchmarking systems. 

On 11 February 2013, the government submitted a periodic financing request (PFR) to ADB for Tranche 4, to finance rehabilitation and expansion of the sewerage system in Fergana and Margilan cities,  and capacity development and project implementation support.
Horticulture Value Chain Development Project (Additional Financing) The project will provide an ADDITIONAL loan to the Republic of Uzbekistan to channel through qualified participating financial institutions (PFI s) who will on-lend to horticulture-related farmers and businesses for fixed asset investments such as intensive orchards, cold storages, processing and packaging equipment. The project will address the critical constraint lack of long term resources in the Uzbekistan banking system. Since horticulture sector has high value produces, the project will contribute significantly to creating sustainable enterprises, increasing employment, and improving household income. Key lessons learnt from previous and ongoing projects financed by ADB and development partners are taken into account in the project design: (i) there needs be a dedicated project management office, other than the Ministry of Finance, to monitor the PFIs  lending activities and safeguards compliance; and (ii) terms and conditions of PFIs  subloans must be business- and demand-based without any government interventions

BF_SAT_Programme Millions of young people do not have access to appropriate, gender-responsive, quality SRHR education, information and services. This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRHR and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Dutch Embassies. It will be carried out in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Sudan and Zambia, in addition to a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The strategic programme objective of: adolescents exercise their right to live free from TP and CM, supported by civil society is contributing the above-defined impact. To achieve this strategic objective, CSOs, youth-led groups and networks will be strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and implementation to increase girls’ agency and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP, and in some countries FGM/C. Although norm change takes time and the strategic objective is formulated under the ‘sphere of influence’ over which we do not have full control, the programme will report reduced prevalence of CM and TP for groups of girls in the programme locations, by 2025. The following three pathways of change lead towards the strategic programme objective.

Outcome 1: Adolescent girls at risk of CM/TP access quality and safe education,
Outcome 2: Duty bearers and decision-makers develop, resource and implement laws and policies that respond to adolescents’ needs, and
Outcome 3: Adolescents access quality SRHR information, education and services. The primary target group of the Break Free programme consists if girls and young women (GYW) aged 10 -24.
