OECD Public Governance Scan of Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has made significant strides in public administration reform, guided by long-term strategies that have spurred economic growth, improved public services and strengthened institutional frameworks. Kazakhstan now seeks to accelerate reforms to enhance government efficiency, institutional accountability and digital transformation. This OECD Public Governance Scan assesses Kazakhstan's governance reforms against international best practices, building on previous OECD reviews. It evaluates progress and identifies remaining challenges in four key areas: public administration modernisation, strategic planning and policy co-ordination, human resources management, and public sector innovation. Based on this analysis, the Scan provides targeted recommendations to help Kazakhstan develop a more agile, responsive and effective public administration, capable of addressing emerging global challenges and driving long-term national development.
