Lesson
The project completion mission noted that some farmers interviewed were unaware of their obligations to the government for on-farm rehabilitation cost recovery, despite having signed a repayment agreement with each water users' association and the government before rehabilitation works. This suggests that farmers had limited awareness of the cost-recovery requirements and that the farmers who were not willing to pay for rehabilitation might have been included in on-farm irrigation and drainage (I&D) systems.

Discussion and dialogue on language of instruction (LOI) for ethnic minorities remains a sensitive issue in most countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States. Any debate of change in LOIs should be widely discussed before implementation and aim at (i) improving ethnic minorities' chances to enter the best senior secondary and higher education institutions, and (ii) acquiring language skills necessary for better job opportunities while providing necessary support to maintain their identity.

Lesson
In general, something as substantial and sensitive as cotton and wheat (C&W) quota system reform cannot be completed within a short time frame and should be undertaken at the national level. Although the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources was responsible for implementing the C&W quota system, reform required inputs from other government departments. Such policy reforms are better accomplished through vehicles other than projects, and certainly not a single pilot investment project in one district or region.

Lesson
The teachers' guides could cost effectively support the timely roll out of student centered learning. Teachers' guides could be expanded to identify tools, provide additional referencing to learning materials for teachers, and promote greater use of school libraries. The student centered learning is one of the areas which educators in Uzbekistan need to discuss so that the government can move to a more efficient and cost-effective approach to provision of textbooks, workbooks and teachers' guides.
