In-Depth Study on the Co-Deployment of ICT Infrastructure with Transport and Energy Infrastructure in Uzbekistan
UNESCAP
2025.12.12
The first working paper is prepared under the ESCAP?IsDB project “Improving Connectivity in North and Central Asia through Co-Deployment of ICT, Energy and Transport Infrastructures”. Entitled “In-depth study on the co-deployment of ICT infrastructure with transport and energy infrastructure in Uzbekistan”, it explores how Uzbekistan can accelerate nationwide digital connectivity through smarter, integrated infrastructure planning. Within the Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway (APIS) Action Plan 2022?2026, ESCAP and APIS Working Group 1, co-chaired by Uzbekistan, advance the Connectivity for All pillar, with co-deployment of ICT, transport and energy infrastructure as a key strategy. Building on ESCAP’s prototype Infrastructure Corridors Simulator and the Infrastructure Co-Deployment Partnership Portal, piloted in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, the Technical Infrastructure Co-Deployment Expert Group (TICEG, 2024-2025) analysed Uzbekistan’s infrastructure, prioritised routes and identified four potential co-deployment projects along the Kyzylorda Uchkuduk, Akhangaran Tukimachi Syrdarya, Navoi Bukhara and Yangi Angren Namangan Margilon Lochin corridors. Part 1 of the study presents this in-depth analysis and corridor prioritisation and recommends upgrading the Simulator into a fully fledged Geo-Infrastructure Simulator (GInSi) to support systematic, evidence-based corridor planning that quantifies cost savings, socio-economic gains, environmental and climate co-benefits, investment attractiveness and long-term multiplier effects, thereby strengthening coordinated infrastructure planning and advancing digital connectivity for all.
