AKIPRESS.COM - President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has approved a new structure for his Administration, cutting 284 staff positions and optimizing redundant duties. These changes are reflected in the decree "On measures to increase efficiency, proactivity, and effectiveness in the public administration system", President's press secretary Sherzod Asadov said.

The Administration's work will now focus on five priority areas: education, business environment, judicial and legal system, healthcare, and water resources. To effectively implement reforms in these sectors, five Deputy Heads of Administration positions have been introduced within the new structure.
