One of the key areas of the green economy in Uzbekistan's agriculture is the development of organic farming. The purpose of the article is to develop organic agriculture based on the use of natural methods of crop cultivation, the rejection of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the use of biological plant protection products. At the same time, in connection with the “green” economy, which is one of the most pressing tasks not only in our country, but also in the world economy, work is underway to develop the green economy in our country and in the world, as well as to analyze international cooperation.

Since 2017, Uzbekistan has undertaken unprecedented reforms in its higher education sector, transforming universities into central actors within the national “Third Renaissance” and the “Uzbekistan–2030” Development Strategy. While these reforms have expanded access, introduced international standards, and diversified institutional structures, a critical gap persists between policy intent and institutional implementation. Therefore, this study investigates how higher education institutions (HEIs) in Uzbekistan manage reform at the institutional level and identifies the structural barriers that hinder long-term global competitiveness. Drawing on theories, the paper conceptualizes strategic management in HEIs as a dynamic interaction between internal resources, external pressures, leadership agency, and stakeholder expectations. Based on this theoretical integration and contextual analysis, the study proposes a context-specific framework built on five strategic pillars: Human Capital, Research Capacity, Educational Differentiation, Internationalization, and Digital Strategy. These pillars provide a practical roadmap for transforming Uzbek universities from administratively managed entities into strategically governed, innovation-driven organizations. The findings demonstrate that global competitiveness in higher education depends not on expansion alone, but on the quality of strategic management within institutions. Bridging the gap between reform legislation and practice requires empowered leadership, professional management structures, and a clear strategic vision.

This article examines the role of renewable energy (RES) as a key driver of the ESG transformation of Uzbekistan's energy sector and industrial clusters. Based on data from international organizations and specialized analytical reviews, the electricity sector's high dependence on natural gas (approximately 76% of generation in 2023) heightens energy security and sustainability risks amid declining gas production and rising electricity demand. An integrated framework for ESG energy transition management (ESG KPIs + scenario-based effects model) is proposed as a methodological solution, focusing on industrial cluster chains (textiles, construction materials, chemicals/metallurgy, and agro-industrial processing). An assessment of the economic effects of replacing gas-fired power generation with RES is conducted under a scenario in which target benchmarks are achieved by 2030 (scaling RES to 21–27 GW and increasing the share of RES in the electricity supply). The results show that the introduction of renewable energy sources in combination with energy efficiency at the cluster level can provide a sustainable economic effect through the release of gas (alternative cost of fuel), a reduction in electricity costs and losses, an increase in investment attractiveness, and access to “green” financing in the logic of the national green taxonomy.

This study analyzes the system of factors affecting production efficiency in the context of increasing production efficiency under conditions of innovative economic development. The research emphasizes rational resource use as a key driver of sustainable industrial growth and competitiveness. Based on a system approach, efficiency factors are classified into macro- and micro-levels, as well as internal and external environments, with a particular focus on controllable micro factors. Using the input–output framework and a case-oriented analysis of porcelain production, the paper identifies labor, capital, raw materials, energy, technology, and inventory management as the most influential internal factors. The findings show that coordinated management of these factors, supported by feedback mechanisms and strategic resource management, can significantly improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.

Interactive methods are increasingly used in higher education to improve engagement and learning outcomes; however, universities often lack a reproducible procedure for selecting methods, sequencing them within a class, and evaluating effectiveness with comparable indicators. This research article develops and reports an IMRaD‑aligned framework for integrating interactive methods into university classes and provides an empirical evaluation protocol that can be implemented in practice. The study uses a mixed design: (i) a structured literature synthesis on active learning, cognitive engagement, and instructional design, and (ii) a quasi‑experimental classroom evaluation protocol (recommended for adoption) combining observation, short surveys, and learning analytics from digital tools (polling/quizzes, interactive whiteboard logs, and learning management systems). Results are presented as an operational toolkit: a taxonomy of interactive methods and didactic functions, a method–outcome–motivation mapping, a standardized 90‑minute lesson architecture, implementation checklists, and a monitoring model with defined indicators for achievement, participation, and motivation. The discussion highlights how method coherence across lesson phases supports cognitive activity as a unity of perception, reasoning, and practice, and outlines limitations and future research using experimental designs. The article contributes practical instruments for evidence‑based teaching and offers a pathway for universities to move from descriptive claims about ‘interactivity’ to measurable improvement.

Non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs) play a critical role in addressing social challenges and supporting sustainable socio-economic development. The effectiveness of their activities largely depends on the quality of project management systems. While developed countries have established advanced institutional and managerial frameworks for NGO project implementation, many developing countries, including Uzbekistan, continue to face limitations related to funding, professional capacity, and monitoring mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess international best practices in NGO project management and identify applicable directions for improving project effectiveness in Uzbekistan. A comparative analytical approach was applied using secondary data from the United States, Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Uzbekistan. The analysis focused on public funding volumes, adoption of international project management standards, monitoring and evaluation effectiveness, and the share of certified project managers. The results demonstrate a significant performance gap between Uzbekistan and developed economies. The study concludes that systematic integration of international standards, strengthened monitoring systems, and professional certification are essential for improving NGO project effectiveness.
