U.S. Assistance to Kazakhstan for the COVID-19 Crisis

The United States Government has supported the Government of Kazakhstan’s efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing life-saving equipment, laboratory and medical supplies, and technical assistance. 

Kazakhstan Judicial Program

The Kazakhstan Judicial Program, implemented by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) since April 2012, strengthens judges’ knowledge and application of international best practices in judicial decision writing techniques and substantive law in the courtroom, supports the implementation of new legislation, develops alternative dispute resolution methods to support the modernization of the judicial system, and increases public trust in the judicial system of Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan Rule of Law

The newly commenced USAID-funded Kazakhstan Rule of Law program, launched in October 2020 will support strengthening of the rule of law sector in Kazakhstan through targeted cooperation in the judiciary, business and civil society environments. Based on the lessons learnt from the predecessor, Kazakhstan Judicial Program, the Kazakhstan Rule of Law program will support the Government of Kazakhstan to increase its transparency and openness by providing opportunities for businesses, civil society organizations (CSO), lawyers, and other interested stakeholders to interact with each other and advocate for change.
