Analysis of The Performance of Poverty Reduction Projects

This study proposes a model called the Poverty Risk Index (PRI), developed to assess and reduce the risk of poverty across regions of Uzbekistan. The model analyzes the main factors affecting poverty — income, unemployment, education, healthcare, and price dynamics — using GIS technologies. Based on statistical data, the poverty level, unemployment rate, and social welfare index of the regions are determined. The results show that although the poverty level decreased significantly across the country in 2020–2024, socio-economic disparities remain in some regions. The model will allow for a clear demonstration of regional differences, targeted allocation of social assistance and investment resources, and advanced policy decisions on poverty reduction. This scientific approach is of theoretical and practical importance in strengthening Uzbekistan's social stability policy and improving the financial well-being of the population.
