Uzbekistan strengthens coordination around drinking-water and wastewater projects

Verified facts

• Invest Uzbekistan reported that the 10 October 2026 meeting was chaired by the Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade and attended by relevant ministries and agencies, Franklin Templeton and Miahona. Participants reviewed progress on drinking-water-supply and wastewater-treatment projects and identified practical measures intended to accelerate implementation and coordination.
• The official notice does not identify the project names, regions, assets, project companies, delivery scope, funding terms, procurement method, operator model, technical specification, timetable, supplier route or contract status. Those matters require project-specific confirmation from the accountable institutions and current documentation.
• World Bank approval for the second phase of Uzbekistan’s Rural Infrastructure Development Program provides independent scale context: the USD 340 million programme is planned across 296 mahallas in six regions and includes water supply among the types of public infrastructure supported. Its aggregate financing and community-led selection approach do not establish that any particular water project is part of the Miahona discussions or open to external suppliers.
• JSC Uzsuvtaminot’s procurement portal records distinct water and sanitation projects, including treatment, network and design-build-operate work, under multiple funding arrangements. Each record is a separate route with its own purchaser, package, date and status; historical or closed notices are useful for delivery mapping, not proof of a current opportunity.
