Notes
EAPD provided economic forecasting; DSDG offered support on SDG integration to national planning together with ESCAP and other partners; OISC offered to share good practices in this regard as contained in the VNR synthesis report. The RC shared the economic forecast input with the lead drafter of the CCA and shared the CLEWS concept to UNDP Res Rep in Tashkent, with a suggestion that — if not already done — the modelling approach could be factored into the ongoing UNDP effort to support the Government with accelerating the effort for the ‘Aral Sea: zone of innovation and green technologies’ concept. On the BRI capacity-building, the RC asked to consider Uzbekistan for inclusion in the project, should it be extended. No response to DSDG offer on SDG integration into national planning, but support was provided on multi-stakeholder engagement for the VNR preparation (DSDG project for RCOs). DSDG is now working with the RCO/UNCT (including UN-Habitat and ESCAP) to address a Government’ request to DESA for support with the country’s urbanization strategy.

Dear Monica,
Many thanks for this, it’s much appreciated. (Apologies for the slow reply, last week was crazy combination of multiple high-level UN visitors, jet lag and email backlog).

Request summary
Support for the preparation of the VNR; and upcoming development of the CCA, particularly for the macroeconomic pillar; support with the integration of the SDGs into national planning:
See below detailed request:
- SDGs integration into national planning: What concretely could we offer Uzbekistan, which has adopted national SDG goals, targets and indicators, but has not yet managed to integrate these into the national development plan (which is under development) nor into national long term sectoral plans?
- CCA: we are in the final stages of our CCA. It is not too late, however, to enhance the ‘big picture’ analysis section and we would love to know what, if anything, DESA could do in terms of providing a page or two of analysis relevant to Uzbekistan using some of the tools mentioned.
- VNR: we are in the middle of supporting the Government with its first VNR to be presented next year. ESCAP has been providing support, and we are also beneficiaries of the DESA grant for multi-stakeholder consultations. Does DESA possibly have any resources to help countries with capacity for actually drafting? Uzbekistan has mobilised a couple of think tanks to engage but they also need to hire one or two consultants to pull the report together, and were looking to the UN for support on this. If DESA cannot support, any ideas of where we could turn?
