USAID/Uzbekistan is pleased to share our draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Market Systems Transformed activity. We welcome your comments and feedback on the attached no later than the date and time indicated on the cover letter of the attached document. To achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth, the Market Systems Transformed activity will focus on strengthening businesses and the business-enabling environment in targeted sectors, while addressing the barriers faced by women, youth, and underrepresented groups. A market systems approach will be used to produce a structural transformation of the Uzbekistan economy by strengthening the current drivers of growth (tourism and textiles) and developing new sectors (information and communication technology (ICT) and green economy sub-sectors) to create jobs and economic inclusion, develop export markets for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and attract capital.
