Uzbekistan
The Presidential Decree No. PQ-41 "On Additional Measures to Further Improve the System of Social Services and Assistance for Children with Disabilities" has been adopted.
According to the decree, starting from March 1, 2025, on a pilot and phased basis, daycare services for children with disabilities aged 3 to 18 will be launched in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Andijan, Kashkadarya, Samarkand, Surkhandarya, and Tashkent regions, as well as in Tashkent city, under a public-private partnership model. By October 1, 2025, this service will be extended to the rest of the country.
Children with disabilities will be admitted to daycare services based on a social contract between their parents and "Inson" Social Service Centers, as well as a conclusion from the Psychological-Medical-Pedagogical Commission.
From March 1, 2025, the following support measures for entrepreneurs engaged in daycare services will be implemented:
A state subsidy of 25% of the base calculation amount per child aged 3 to 7 years and 27% per child aged 7 to 18 years for each day of daycare service usage.
