The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors has approved a $50 million concessional loan to implement the Uzbekistan Digital Inclusion Project. The project aims to support the development of the digital economy and broaden access to digital skills and employment opportunities in information technology-enabled services for thousands of young people in rural and remote locations.
Investments in Uzbekistan’s digital economy could also play a crucial role in reducing the number of youths, including women, who are not receiving education and training and are not employed.
