Last year, Kazakhstan’s International and Digital Development agencies signed a Statement of Intent to collaborate on advancing inclusive digital transformation, bolstering innovation and ensuring knowledge exchange across central Asia.
The agreement was lauded in Kazakhstan as the country’s digital coming of age, with Arken Arystanov – chair of the country’s Agency of International Development – citing the agreement as confirmation of his belief that “Kazakhstan can act as a regional catalyst for leveraging government digital solutions to drive change”, drawing on the country’s expertise and experience to stimulate peer-to-peer learning across the continent.
