Tokayev, the President, Pays a Visit to the Worksite of the National Development Plan
Kazakhstan's Project Office to Drive National Development
In a significant move towards modernisation and growth, Kazakhstan has established a Project Office as part of its National Development Plan. This office, visited by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on January 8, will focus on developing solutions for the high-quality implementation of the President's tasks.
President Tokayev has expressed ambitious goals for Kazakhstan, aiming to transform the country into a nation with developed nuclear energy, artificial intelligence, and digitalisation. To achieve these goals, similar structures to the Project Office exist in several nations, such as the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit in the United Kingdom, PEMANDU in Malaysia, and Government Accelerators in the UAE.
The Project Office has already briefed Tokayev on the progress of strategically important projects. These include platform solutions for fiscal sustainability, the development of the Mangystau Region, and human capital formation and development. Tokayev has emphasised the need for decisive actions to achieve significant results in the country's socio-economic growth.
To co-ordinate the area of increasing the effectiveness of reforms, President Tokayev has appointed Darkhan Satybaldy, the First Deputy Head of Executive Office of President, to the role. Tokayev has also set specific tasks for the government to independently make decisions on the socio-economic development of the country.
In his interview, Tokayev mentioned the need to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants in Kazakhstan. He proposed a potential plan to build two or three large nuclear power stations in the country. These large infrastructure projects, along with digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and nuclear energy, have been identified as key strategic areas for Kazakhstan's development.
Interdepartmental teams have been formed within the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry to focus on a small number of tasks in a specific sector of activity. These teams aim for higher quality and faster outcomes in transport and logistics, healthcare, education, energy, water, industry and construction, digital development, innovation, and regional development.
The government members, including ministers and akims (mayors), are expected to be ready to make bold decisions in Kazakhstan's development. As the Project Office continues its work, the future of Kazakhstan's development looks promising and ambitious.
