Uzbekistan-America: cooperation in the development of public service
Reflection of public administration reforms in the life of the people is an urgent task facing most countries today. Today our people want to see every reform, every change in their lives, in their daily experience. For this, the professional activity of a qualified civil servant is important. To this end, the Agency for the Development of Public Service under the President, based on our outlined strategy, is studying the experience of a number of developed countries.
