The Claim

The Agency for Innovative Development of Uzbekistan operates under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of Uzbekistan.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official Uzbek government sources, presidential decrees, and independent World Bank documentation all consistently describe the Agency for Innovative Development as operating "under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation." This relationship was formalized following a 2022 reorganization that converted the former independent Ministry of Innovative Development into a subordinate agency. The phrase "operates under" accurately reflects the standard English rendering of the formal institutional relationship ("при Министерстве") used in official English-language government portals.

Caveats

  • The agency operates 'under' the Ministry as a subordinate but structurally distinct body, not as an internal department or division — it retains a degree of operational independence.
  • The agency was previously an independent Ministry of Innovative Development before being reorganized by presidential decree in December 2022.
  • One source (nrm.uz, 2021) references the pre-reorganization structure and is outdated regarding the agency's current institutional status.
