Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in promoting social inclusion, supporting vulnerable groups, and contributing to democratic governance. However, their long-term impact is closely tied to financial sustainability and the capacity to manage economic shocks. In Uzbekistan, while the number of active NGOs has grown, many remain dependent on limited sources such as state grants and foreign aid. This paper explores the potential of alternative financing models to enhance the economic resilience of NGOs in Uzbekistan by examining international practices, current limitations, and actionable strategies suitable for the Uzbek context.
