In the reporting period, the Committee used data from assessments of socio-economic development of cities and districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, Sughd and Khatlon regions, as well as districts under republican subordination, to evaluate the implementation of state policy in the field of local self-government development for the first quarter, first half-year and nine months of 2025.
