As a result of these measures 47 thousand entrepreneurs started their work, 8000 small projects in manufacturing and services were launched, 2.5 thousand more enterprises expanded their capacities. The head of the state positively assessed the results and noted that such high figures have been achieved for the first time in history.

At the meeting, shortcomings in the system were listed. In particular, khokims’ assistants did not show results in 40% of makhallas. In 450 makhallas unemployment exceeds 20%.
Such districts were listed at the meeting, and their khokims were issued warnings. Deputy khokims, heads of sectors of a number of districts and cities have been dismissed from their positions.

The largest number of makhallas with high unemployment was recorded in Tashkent (59), Ferghana (52) and Andijan (45) regions.
Local and regional leaders were instructed to monitor the work in 3,636 mahallas with "unsatisfactory results". Roadmaps will be developed to solve their problems.

It was emphasized that from now on each makhalla will receive support based on its specialization.
2.5 thousand makhallas specialize in animal husbandry, poultry farming, fishing and beekeeping. If they are given additional support and provide enterprising residents with incubators, domestic chickens, bee hives, - the incomes of the population will grow.

The khokims of the regions are instructed to provide employment for the socially vulnerable population through effective usage of these opportunities.
More than 2 thousand makhallas in the country specialize in services.
