    PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a study on “Master Plan Study on Cluster Development in Food Processing Industry in the North Kazakhstan Oblast” and entrusted to the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Takumi TOGASHI of HOKKAIDO INTELLECT TANK between October, 2009 and July, 2010. The team held discussions with the persons concerned of food processing industry as well as the officials concerned of the Government of the North Kazakhstan Oblast and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of cluster development in food processing industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, especially North Kazakhstan Oblast, and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan for their close cooperation extended to the study.

  • 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.
