Uzbekistan: women in need to receive up to 22 million soums in social aid

Women in need in Uzbekistan will receive social assistance of up to 22 million soums through the Ayollar daftari (Women's Notebook) fund. The aid is intended especially for women facing difficult living conditions who need to repair their homes. The sum equals 50 times the base calculation value (BHM). A decree of the head of state dated 11 September 2026 moved reforms in this area to a new stage.

The decree expanded the scope of aid, removed many bureaucratic barriers related to improving health and housing conditions, and simplified procedures for allocating funds. Families listed in the social register whose average monthly income per member does not exceed twice the minimum consumption expenditure can receive it. For example, a family of five with a total monthly income of 7 million soums receives 1.4 million soums per person, below the threshold of 1,430,000 soums.

The need for home repairs is assessed on site by the neighborhood «seven» (mahalla yettiligi). District and city headquarters may also decide to help other families at risk of poverty who are not in the social register, within allocated funds. Applications are submitted to the women's activist in the applicant's neighborhood. The information is based on comments by Imomali Tuev of the Legal Clinic at Tashkent State University of Law.
