A list of 200,000 poor families has been created and included in the "Online Mahalla" electronic platform, and now individual work will be carried out to lift them out of poverty, says Fakhriddin Hayitov, head of the information service of the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Employment.

He noted that individual programs for lifting each family out of poverty were developed by the neighborhood mayor's assistants and posted on the "Online neighborhood" platform. In addition, the regulation on lifting families out of poverty was approved.

"By the end of the year, 127,500 families will be lifted out of poverty in our republic, and measures are being taken to reduce the poverty level to 12 percent," said Fakhriddin Hayitov.
