This report is in fulfillment of the reporting requirements set out in the Standard Administrative Arrangement (SAA) concluded between the Administrative Agent (UNDP MPTF Office) and the Donor. In line with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Report is consolidated based on information, data and financial statements submitted by Participating Organizations. The report provides the Programme Board with a comprehensive overview of achievements and challenges associated with the Joint Programme, enabling it to make strategic decisions. The Joint Programme is the results-oriented collaborative programme jointly developed by the Ministry of Regional Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, whose legal successor is the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Akimat of Kyzylorda region, and six UN Agencies - UNDP, UNICEF, UNESCO, UNFPA, UN Women and WHO - to improve the wellbeing and quality of life in the Kyzylorda region through innovative approaches to delivering economic, social and environmental services to the local population, particularly for the most vulnerable. The Joint Programme takes into account the situation analysis of the region and results of the previous programmes and activities. The programme rely on the priorities of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the Republic of Kazakhstan 2010-2015, as well as on the priorities of key national strategic documents, such as “Kazakhstan – 2050”. The programme was officially launched on July 22, 2014. Due to the delays in arrival of funds at local level, major work started only in September. Since then participating agencies set and staffed offices in the region, and conducted a number of activities, presented at the specially created Face Book page «UN Joint programme in Kyzylorda oblast». As it is the first year of implementation, the Programme started with review of vulnerable groups’ situation in the region and discussion of the joint plans and activities with local partners and stakeholders. Number of assessments were conducted in the areas of social cash transfers assessment that identified follow up recommendations for improved targeting of poor families with children, home visiting services to identify strengths and possible gaps in delivering quality services to vulnerable families, especially in rural areas, and assessment of suicide preventative measures in the region implemented using UNICEF methodology. The assessment confirmed the notable achievement of the region in reducing suicide among adolescents up to 5 times through strong management support and good coordination among different sectors involved in the programme. There was also a mapping of services and systems for children conducted with regards to juvenile justice and disaster risk reduction. These and other activities will lay a foundation for full roll out of planned projects and innovative approaches in the region during 2015-2016. Development of local self-government in the two districts of the region activated citizens in the solution of social problems of the region, improvement of infrastructure of 5 social facilities and ensured substantial budget savings. 9 inclusive projects implemented by local NGOs within the Joint Programme allowed 2 socially oriented organizations to receive new equipment and improve quality of their services, create jobs and provide employment to 22 persons, 12 are persons with disabilities and 9 are women. Due to the late launch of the project and the changing of the Head of the Health department of the Kyzylorda oblast, WHO reprogrammed some activities and planned achievement of results for 2014 and 2015 by the end of 2015. In 2014, WHO set up a multi-stakeholder project implementation team Page 2 of 35 to ensure sustainability of Project results, implement capacity building of managerial staff and prevent brain drain of quality national staff. Results achieved include: capacity built of 5 local health experts for implementation of targeted health surveys to monitor prevalence of risk factors (Global Youth Tobacco Survey, Child Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI) and Study on Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSCS). GYTS was conducted in 3 districts, 4 schools covered 307 children. COSI and HBSCS are fully prepared for implementation in 2015. Capacities for improving quality of health information have been built. This included training in use of (International Classification of Diseases – 10th revision (ICD-10) for coding of death, and use of WHO methodology on maternal mortality estimates. WHO also carried out a statistical analysis of the burden of mortality due to child trauma in Kyzylorda. This showed that the burden of trauma related deaths among 0 – 14 years old adolescents grows and warrants wide measures for prevention. Page 3 of 35 I.

  • Assessing the Competitiveness of Kazakhstan Regions: Creating an Index
    E3S Web of Conferences 159, 05002 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202015905002 BTSES-2020 Assessing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan regions: creating an index Aknur Zhidebekkyzy1,*, Rimma Sagiyeva1, Zhansaya Temerbulatova1 1Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, al-Farabi Ave. 71, 050040 Almaty, Kazakhstan Abstract. Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan; 2 Faculty of Architecture and Construction, S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University, Kazakhstan *Corresponding Author, Received: 13 July 2019, Revised: 12 Aug. 2019, Accepted:29 Aug. 2019 ABSTRACT: Before building the storm sewer networks the analysis of precipitation is very important. The issues of assessing the reliability of the information on the annual amounts of precipitation in the meteorological monitoring system of the KazHydroMet State Hydrometeorological Service of Kazakhstan are considered. An assessment is made of the homogeneity of the spatial correlation function, as the basis of the cartographic modeling of the statistical parameters of annual precipitation amounts. A special study aimed at studying the processes of cyclical fluctuations in the temporal variability of annual and summer precipitation amounts for stations representing all regions of the country. The data of daily precipitation of Kazakhstan in the period 1936-2017 were processed. When processing data, an open-source computer program R was used. The results will be useful for designers and researchers. A statistically significant increase in the maximum daily precipitation of 2–4 mm per 10 years was recorded at the Arkalyk, Aksay, Atyrau, Ushtobe, Bektauat and Karabalyk meteorological stations. At some stations in the Akmola and Pavlodar regions, as well as in the south and southeast of the republic, a statistically significant reduction of 2-6 days per 10 years was observed for the maximum duration of the period without precipitation.

In his speech at the World Summit for Sustainable Development, the President of Kazakhstan reminded the world community of the global scale of the processes that are underway, and called for prevention of irreversible harm to the environment in order to preserve the necessary life resources for our descendants. Environmental safety and sustainable development issues are of vital importance for Kazakhstan. Water resource deficit and significant land degradation, the Aral Sea disaster, the aftermath of the nuclear tests, accumulation of industrial waste, oil spills – all these problems are no longer fall under the category of environmental ones. Many of these problems are regional and even global. Coordinated interaction between the mankind and the environment and ensuring a safe environment are one of the priorities of the long-term Kazakhstan-2030 Strategy. It has clear-cut provisions: “...increase efforts in making our citizens healthy during their life time, and enjoying a healthy environment”.
