Legislative Initiatives

Kazakhstani NGOs continue to actively discuss the draft law on non-governmental organizations. In particular, the “ADAL AQQÝ” and “BAQYTTY SHANYRAQ” Public Foundations prepared proposals to improve the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan concerning support for NGOs operating in the interests of socially vulnerable groups.

One of the proposals is to establish a mechanism for state funding of socially oriented NGOs through:

• provision of the state social order;
• subsidizing employee remuneration costs;
• allocation of targeted grants to support the organization’s activities;
• reimbursement of expenses related to the provision of social services to the population.

The NGO proposals will be considered within the framework of the Working Group established under the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
