Abstract

This article explores the pivotal role civil society organizations (CSOs) can play in enhancing transparency and accountability in the parliamentary oversight system of Uzbekistan. Drawing exclusively from the existing literature review on transparency in parliamentary oversight, the paper highlights the mechanisms through which CSOs contribute to effective oversight before, during, and after government action. It also outlines practical recommendations for institutionalizing CSO participation and aligning national practice with international standards.
