Access to Drinking Water and Sanitation in the Republic of Kazakhstan Committee for Water Resources Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan UNDP Project National Plan for Integrated Water Resources Management and Water Efficiency in Kazakhstan RepORT AcceSS TO DrinkinG WATer and SaniTATION in THE RepuBLic OF KAZakHSTan January 2006 Foreword Supplying population of the Republic of Kazakhstan with adequate quality drinking water is one of the priority directions of the social-economic development of the country. For Kazakhstan the Millennium Development Goals are the long-term goals, which are closely related to the National Development Strategy “Kazakhstan-2030”. The problem of supply of population with drinking water is reflected in such national documents as the Conception of the Water Economic and Political Sector Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2010, the Strategy for Industrial and Innovation Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2003-2015, as well as the Water Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan carries out a systematic work on water supply and sanitation in the framework of the sectoral Program “Drinking water” and the National Program on Development of Rural Territories. Under these programs the construction and reconstruction of the water supply systems in urban and rural areas is carried out. For the next 10 years of the program implementation 115 billion tenge are planned to be allocated from the republican budget. At the same time the factors inhibitory to stable and successful programme implementation are the following: a high level of deterioration of water supply networks and units, insufficient development and equipment of the water pipes traffic departments, as well as insufficiency in reliable official data on the accessibility of drinking water to population of Kazakhstan. Together with all UN member countries, Kazakhstan signed the declaration on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (2000), thus committing itself in the area of water supply to reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015. Based on the international commitments taken and the main seven priorities defined in the Program “Drinking water”, Committee of Water Resources with the support from UNDP within the framework of the Project “National Integrated Water Resources Management and Water Efficiency Plan for Kazakhstan” has started the development of the Strategy on achieving MDG on water supply and sanitation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The present report is the first important step in the development of the Strategy. The report contains detailed information on access of population of Kazakhstan to the drinking water and sanitation by region and city. To get more objective information there were two approaches used in the survey on access to drinking water: technical and sociological. Technical survey was conducted in 260 urban and 7440 rural settlements. Sociological survey consisted of 7515 questionnaires, 240 interviews and 16 focus-groups with water users. The survey has been carried out by the leading water supply and sanitation specialists of Kazakhstan and by the specialists of involved organizations. In the current report the independent experts presented their assessment of the water supply and sanitation in Kazakhstan. This assessment includes a description of a methodology, according to which conclusions were made. The report also presents detailed information by cities and rural settlements, which helps the specialists to see a real picture and forecast the development in each specific settlement. The rapid economic growth of Kazakhstan for the first 10 years of political and economic reforms makes possible the successful implementation of the MDG in Kazakhstan. The year 2015 specified in Millennium Declaration as indicative appears to be a good benchmark for evaluating medium results of the on-going implementation of the national strategy “Kazakhstan-2030”. In support of the point the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan during the second Civil Forum on September 19, 2005 stated that “by the beginning of the second decade we should resolve the issue of drinking water accessibility… There will not be a single settlement, which will use water from open water sources or which will not comply the standards”.

  • Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment
    Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment Almaty, a vibrant metropolis in Kazakhstan, is only kilometers away from lake Issyk-Kul in the Kyrgyz Republic, renowned for its mountains and moderate summers. However, the two destinations are separated by two magnificent mountain ranges. To bypass these mountains, the existing road stretches over ­ kilometers, leading to long travel times. This economic impact assessment analyzes what impact a more direct road between the two destinations would have for tourism and economic development in both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. The report provides economically viable solutions that, within a supportive policy environment, would lead to strong economic development within the region. About Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor The Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC) is the pilot economic corridor under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The motivation for ABEC is that Almaty and Bishkek can achieve far more together than either can achieve alone. The two cities are only ­ kilometers apart with relatively high economic density concentrated in services in the cities and agriculture in their hinterlands. Both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union and the World Trade Organization. CAREC corridors and Belt and Road Initiative routes cross ABEC. The historic Silk Route, mountain ranges, and Lake lssyk-Kul underline the potential for tourism. But trade, especially in agricultural goods and services, between the two countries is below potential, and the region does not yet benefit from being one economic space. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction.
