Abstract

The article explores the relationship between decentralization and strategic planning. Using theoretical frameworks and policy insights from the World Bank, IHTT, and BMTTD, it examines how decentralization affects regional development and policy effectiveness. Uzbekistan’s experience is assessed in the context of the “Uzbekistan-2030” strategy, with emphasis on the growing role of local budgets and regional initiatives. Key institutional challenges are identified and summarized conclusions are provided.
