Development co-operation in Kazakhstan

Development co-operation is related to a country’s public integrity system in two ways. First, it can be used to combat corruption. Second, funds received and provided need to be safeguarded against corruption, to ensure they are ultimately used for their intended purposes. This chapter assesses the role of development co-operation in promoting integrity and combating corruption in the Republic of Kazakhstan. An assessment of Official Development Assistance (ODA) support for integrity measures in the country is followed by an analysis of Kazakhstan’s role as an emerging provider of development assistance. Transparency of development assistance, in regards to both receipts and contributions, is also evaluated.
