The Kazakhstan Agency of International Development (KazAID) is celebrating its fifth anniversary. The Agency was established by a Resolution of the Government of Kazakhstan dated December 15, 2020, as the national operator in the field of official development assistance and operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.
KazAID’s mission is to promote sustainable and inclusive development in partner countries through the provision of results-oriented technical assistance.
Over this period, KazAID has become a key instrument of Kazakhstan’s practical contribution to global development, demonstrating the country’s transformation from a recipient of international aid into a donor sharing its own successful experience. Today, KazAID implements projects in the areas of digitalization, education, and healthcare, helping the countries of Central Asia and Afghanistan strengthen resilience and human capital.
KazAID promotes Kazakhstan’s best practices, facilitates knowledge exchange among experts, and expands international cooperation. Over five years, humanitarian assistance totaling more than USD 34 million has been provided, while the overall volume of financing for official development assistance (ODA) projects has reached USD 183 million, covering more than 40 countries.
