The project builds the capacity of national stakeholders in the field of open data management. In particular, special trainings were organized for members of the interdepartmental working group formed by the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on statistics. The working group trained 617 employees and specialists of government ministries and departments (2019 - 185, 2020 -200, 2021 - 232). Since the members of the working group are responsible for identifying open datasets and publishing them regularly on the Uzbekistan Open Data Portal, they have received appropriate training. Within the framework of the project, events are held to popularize open data, which include the Open data Tashkent conference, Open Data Week and Open Data Day seminars. Also, a separate event to promote open data among the IT community is hackathons. Open Data Challenge is an annual hackathon for the development of open data in the country. This hackathon has already been held 3 times (2019 - 398 applications, 2020 - 6015 applications, 2021 - 1005 applications). As you can see, the interest of the IT sector in open data is growing.

The project is scalable, as there is a need to bring the project to the Central Asian region to generalize open data and the possibility of developing the regional IT sector.

The project has existed for more than three years and is supported by the state; the project has also been introduced into the state program.

The project supports the principles of freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, common responsibility, since the collection and dissemination and further use of open data require certain measures.
