Finally, the role of Uzbek mahalla organization in terms of distribution of international aid is analysed.
The study is concluded by pointing out that Uzbekistan constitutes a good example of how a state faces problems in terms of collaboration with non-governmental organizations for governance and the distribution of international aid, that the non-governmental organizations do not play an important role where they are not supported well by state, and therefore they can only play a role of social observer, like the Uzbek mahalla organizations.
