dc.description.abstractThe rapidly evolving digitalization in Uzbekistan is expanding opportunities to bolster an inclusive digital economy. Uzbekistan’s New Development Strategy and the 2030 Digital Strategy highlight the prominence of investments in the digital economy as a main driver of Uzbekistan’s economic development. Persons with disabilities face several barriers to obtaining equal access and successfully participating in the labor market, including the digital economy. Building digital skills and literacy for persons with disabilities is critical for persons with disabilities to learn, consume digital services, and access jobs. A study was undertaken to leverage these opportunities by identifying gaps in the digital inclusion for persons with disabilities to be addressed through policy and programmatic interventions. Using findings from a field study, the report addresses how digital sector development strategies and efforts by the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (GoU) and other stakeholders can advance the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the digital economy. This study was undertaken to identify gaps in digital inclusion for persons with disabilities and inform policy and programmatic interventions. This report addresses two main lines of inquiry: (i) access to and consumption of digital services and content by persons with disabilities; and (ii) opportunities for persons with disabilities to undertake digital work.en
