Open data portal of the Republic of Uzbekistan data.gov.uz and official web site of The State Committee on Statistics stat.uz reached the silver level according to the Open Data Institute (ODI) – this means that additional efforts have been made to support and encourage feedback from people who use this open data on these information resources.

In accordance with the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan from April 9, 2019 No. 4273 "On additional measures to ensure openness and transparency of public administration, and improving statistical capacity of the country", the State Committee of Uzbekistan on statistics coordinates the activities of state bodies and organizations in the part of works on formation, keeping and updating the list of open data sets and timely reflection of the relevant information on the open data Portal of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

This decree has become a powerful impetus for the further development of open data in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

At the moment, there are about 7 thousand open data sets on the open data Portal of the Republic of Uzbekistan and about 500 open data sets on the Goskomstat website.

Open Data Certificate is a free online tool developed and maintained by the Open Data Institute, to assess and recognise the sustainable publication of quality open data.

Open Data Certificate is an independent quality mark benchmarked against a set of tried and tested standards, to professionalise open data publication. It covers the legal, practical, technical and social requirements to support the use of sustainable open data.

To get certificate a questionnaire for data publishers assesses the level of support and steps taken to make data reusable and discoverable. Depending on the answers, ODI awards a badge that can be embedded on the publisher’s website to signify the quality level of their publication process to reusers.
