Mission

Reduce the level of corruption in Kazakhstan

Goals

The project was aimed at achieving two main objectives:

  • Creating an enabling favourable legal environment and implementing international anti-corruption obligations by encouraging the Government to incorporate international anti-corruption standards into the laws of Kazakhstan by amending certain provisions of its anti-corruption legislation.

  • Promoting international anti-corruption standards and clean business practices in corporate and academic circles by bringing draft amendments before the Government to introduce additional legislative requirements for companies to develop, adopt and implement anti-corruption standards and internal control, ethics and compliance systems.

Stakeholders
