Since achieving independence in 1991, the Republic of Kazakhstan has made a number of significant reforms designed to improve the lives of its citizens, from new measures to protect human rights, to prioritizing the funding of educational and environmental projects.

Human Rights

Kazakhstan has made great strides in protecting the human and civil rights of its people. Many reforms in law and policy are serving to increase transparency and reinforce the nation’s stability.

Education

Funding for scholarships and educational projects in Kazakhstan has risen significantly over the last few years. One major goal is to make higher education accessible to all on the basis of merit.

Environmental Efforts

Soviet-time industrial and agricultural projects in Kazakhstan have taken a terrible toll on the country’s ecosystem. New policies and procedures are working to mitigate the worst of the damage and safeguard our environment for the future.
