BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. The United Nations
Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) will develop the
'Sustainable upgrading of textile and garment industry in
Uzbekistan' project, the communications officer of UNIDO Charles
Arthur told Trend .
Arthur said the project is in the pipeline, with a tentative
budget of $2 million.
'The project will focus on improved access to local and export
markets for textile and garment industries. Specifically, it will
strengthen the productivity, competitiveness and collective export
capacities of manufacturing companies, as well as applying
innovative approaches and methodologies for branding, marketing and
product design,' the communications officer said.

module, which focuses on brand creation for a pilot group of
enterprises, aiming to strengthen their capacity to enter new
market niches with innovative, high-quality, unique products that
meet international standards.
'In the Joint Declaration, signed in December 2020, UNIDO and
Uzbekistan's Ministry of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction
commit to promoting cooperation in various areas, including green
industry, a circular economy, renewable energy and energy
efficiency, agro-industrial clusters and light industry
modernization. UNIDO has so far developed two projects to support
the implementation of the Joint Declaration, 'Arthur said.
The joint declaration was signed by the Minister of Economic
Development and Poverty Reduction of Uzbekistan, Jamshid Kuchkarov,
and the then Director General of the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization, Li Yong, for an initial period of four
years (2020-2024).
UNIDO is also carrying out research and analysis to provide
input for the 'Industrial Development Strategy of the Republic of
Uzbekistan until 2030'.
