Targeting Social Assistance and Ensuring Transparency in Uzbekistan’s Social Protection Policy: Systematic and Practical Approaches

Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms for targeting social assistance and ensuring transparency within Uzbekistan’s social protection policy. It focuses on reducing human bias and errors in the allocation of social benefits through systematic procedures, digital platforms, and monitoring tools. The research highlights practical approaches that enhance efficiency, fairness, and accountability in social welfare programs. Empirical evidence from national policy implementation is used to illustrate challenges and propose strategies for improving both targeting accuracy and transparency.
